GPC8 Glutaraldehyde
Evans Vanodine GPC8™ is a professional disinfectant designed to provide effective hygiene and biosecurity across agricultural and livestock environments. Its formulation combines glutaraldehyde and twin-chain quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) to provide broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, viruses and fungi.
An added surfactant helps GPC8™ remain effective in the presence of organic matter, making it suitable for demanding agricultural environments where surfaces may not always be completely free from contamination.
GPC8™ can be foamed to improve coverage, contact time and visibility during application. It can also be used with fogging machines, providing additional flexibility for disinfecting larger areas and difficult-to-reach spaces.
The formulation provides prolonged residual activity after application and restocking and is non-corrosive and non-staining when used at the recommended in-use dilution. GPC8™ is also DEFRA approved for Foot & Mouth, Poultry and General Orders.
Available as 2 x 5ltr or 25ltr packs.
