Chlorine Dioxide Activator
Description
Product Description
Castle Wash Chlorine Dioxide is designed to control fungal and bacterial problems in a single application. It reduces spore levels in water and on the surfaces of fruits and vegetables, particularly where untreated or bore water contains excessive suspended solids, organic material, and microbiological contamination. The product is compatible with many fungicides, less corrosive than chlorine, remains active in the presence of organic matter, and provides rapid kill of common fungi such as Penicillium and sour rot. It also delivers effective results at low usage rates and is environmentally accepted.
