Keep your livestock, buildings and equipment clean and free of microbial threats. Use Selective Micro products to keep your animals and your profits healthy.
A clean facility reduces losses and can increase livestock health and the eventual profitability. Selective Micro products offer many uses in your farming operation. Keep water and feed lines clean and clear of bioslime that carries disease and robs nutrients. Clean instruments and equipment that come into contact with livestock to prevent the spread of bacteria and viruses. Use Selective Micro products anywhere you need to eliminate microbial threats to your operation.
- Clean poultry waterlines
- Decontaminate dairy equipment
- Sanitize water troughs
- Eliminate microbial threats on tools and equipment
- Mitigate mold
Usage Example
Using Selective Micro products is simple and easy. Simply add water to the pouch and wait for it to generate. Once complete you can apply the product to any surface that you want to sanitize. Dilution and contact time are determined by the area you want to clean, but in most cases a 50 ppm solution will do the job. For waterlines, a one-time shock of higher concentration solution will remove bioslime while an ultra low concentration keeps it from reforming without harming livestock. For farming applications, we recommend the 2L500 and the 12G products.
FAQ’s
Chlorine dioxide use continues to grow due to its anti-microbial properties and neutral pH. Still there are many questions regarding its use and properties. Here are just a few of the most commonly asked questions and the answers.
What does Selective Micro make?
- Selective Micro products are nearly pure (>99%) solutions of chlorine dioxide in water. Selective Micro products are generated via patented micro-reactor technology, designed to produce a specific amount of chlorine dioxide simply by adding water.
How do I use Selective Micro products?
- Activate and use Selective Micro Clean according to the directions on the pouch label. Introduce Selective Micro Clean into the tanks and lines, then soak and flush. It all comes down to concentration and contact time. Selective Micro products come in the form of a self contained pouch or a sachet. Simply add water to the pouch to generate a specific volume and concentration or add a sachet directly to your volume of water.
Why use Selective Micro products over alternative treatments?
- The products are an effective, non-corrosive and quick rinsing alternative to other decontamination agents on the market today. In other words, chlorine dioxide has more capacity to remove organic matter. In addition, because it is more selective to key organics, it is less corrosive.
Has chlorine dioxide been used before?
- Chlorine dioxide has been recognized as an effective biocide for decades, and is used in a range of hygiene-related applications worldwide. Municipal water systems, for example, have used chlorine dioxide to treat drinking water for over 50 years.
Why couldn’t I use chlorine dioxide before?
- Prior to the introduction of Selectrocide® in 1999, complicated, expensive mechanical generators or relatively impure “stabilized” solutions were the only ways to make chlorine dioxide. Shipping chlorine dioxide in non-frozen forms was and is prohibited. The expense of complex capital equipment, the corrosiveness of the lower-quality “stabilized” solutions, and the shipping limitations inhibited the development of many professional and consumer point-of-use applications. Now, using Selectrocide®, nearly pure (>99.9%) chlorine dioxide can be generated at the point-of use—without capital-intensive equipment.
What is the shelf life of Selective Micro products?
- In the unopened package, Selective Micro products have a shelf life of two years. Once the product is activated, use the Selective Micro solution within 15 days. Store activated solution according to instructions on label.
Will Selective Micro damage my surfaces?
- No. At recommended concentrations our products are extremely compatible with materials with a neutral pH.
Is there a test for concentration of Selective Micro’s chlorine dioxide?
- Chlorine dioxide is easily detectable. For quick on-site verification, Selective Micro offers test strips that quickly and accurately detect concentration and the rinse-out threshold.
