Agar Powerquat Twin-Chain Quaternary Sanitiser – Concentrated Sanitiser 5L

Heavy-Duty Germ-Killing Surface Cleaner for Commercial & Industrial Use

POWERQUAT is a quaternary-ammonium-based sanitiser that has broad germ-killing capabilities. It also possesses some surface active properties that provide some detergency and good surface-wetting characteristics. Quaternary ammonium compounds are effective at destroying bacteria, moulds, fungi and algae. POWERQUAT is a low-toxicity product that is stable to light and heat. Its potency does not decline over time.

Key Benefits of Agar Powerquat:

Very strong and effective on gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Wide applications in surface disinfection.

Effective on bacteria, mould and algae.

Odourless to suit food-processing areas.

Enables rinse-free sanitising at 1:150.

Safe to use on all metal food processing equipment.

Where to Use Powerquat:

Powerquat is suitable for sanitising:

kitchens and food processing areas. It is an excellent sanitiser for sanitising general surfaces, pots and pans, floors, filling machines, cookers, tables, non-porous cutting implements, conveyor belts and mixing pans. When sanitised with POWERQUAT these items are rendered free from bacteria.

How to Use Powerquat:

• RINSE-FREE SANITISING: If POWERQUAT is diluted to 1 in 150 (0.66%) (this is 133ml per 20L of water), it is not necessary to rinse after use, just drain well. [If used stronger than 0.66%, rinsing with potable water is required.] 
• ROCESSING EQUIPMENT: Dilute POWERQUAT to 1 in 150 (this is 133ml of POWERQUAT per 20L of water) then spray or soak all cleaned surfaces with this solution. Ensure contact for at least 1 minute. Rinsing is not required for this dilution rate but treated surfaces should be adequately drained before processing operations resume.
• Dilute POWERQUAT to between 1 in 80 and 1 in 40 (this is 250ml to 500ml per 20L of water) depending on degree of contamination.  Apply solution with foamer, sprayer, cloth, mop or sponge. Prevent direct contact with foodstuffs.  Leave the solution in contact with surface for at least 1 minute to kill any bacteria. 
• For soaking of drains, dilute POWERQUAT to 1 in 30 (this is 667ml per 20L of water). 
• FOOT BATHS: Dilute POWERQUAT to 1 in 30 to 1 in 15 (this is 667ml to 1.33L per 20L of water). Discard this solution when it has become visibly soiled. 
•  Dilute POWERQUAT to 1 in 30 (this is 667ml per 20L of water) and use 1 litre of solution per 50 cubic metres of air volume. (Please note: Fogging should only be done according to a documented procedure that safeguards the personnel and the foodstuffs in the vicinity. Rinsing will be required at this dilution rate.) 
•  Dilute POWERQUAT to 1 in 30 (this is 667ml per 20L of water) and use 1 litre of solution per 50 cubic metres of air volume. (Please note: Fogging should only be done according to a documented procedure that safeguards the personnel and the foodstuffs in the vicinity. Rinsing will be required at this dilution rate.) 
• RECIRCULATION (CIP) SANITISING: Dilute to 1 in 30 (this is 667ml per 20L of water at 50° to 80°C. Recirculate for 10 to 20 minutes depending on the degree of soilage.  Flush with potable water to rinse. 

Quality Assurance:

• Manufactured under the Agar Quality Management System, certified to meet AS/NZS ISO 9001 standards for quality management systems.
• Approved for use under Category 6 as a sanitizer by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service for meat and meat product preparation for export.
