Features & Benefits

Features

CATION G-50 has the following features: ·

  • Has effective antibacterial activity even at low concentrations on a wide variety of bacteria. 
  • Has almost no offensive odor. 
  • Excellent stability, and therefore has a long shelf life while only minimally losing antibacterial activity. 
  • Dissolves in water at any concentration, and at standard concentrations the aqueous solution is colorless. Therefore, it does not stain clothing. · Can be mixed with almost all nonionic surfactants.

Applications & Uses

Application Methods
  •  When CATION G-50 is used alone without other agents:
    • This product should be diluted to achieve concentrations from several wt ppm to several thousand wt ppm, depending on the purpose and conditions of use. 
  • When CATION G-50 is mixed with other agents to produce an antibacterial cleaner:
    • This product should be used after testing the mixing conditions such as mixing stability and antibacterial activity.
