Evans Supa-Max Teat Disinfectant 25L
Evans Vanodine Supa-Max is a ready-to-use teat disinfectant and conditioner containing chlorhexidine gluconate and lactic acid. It is designed for pre-milking foam application and post-milking dipping or spraying, allowing the same formulation to support different stages of a defined dairy hygiene routine.
The dark blue liquid gives a visible indication of where the product has been applied. During post-milking use, this helps the operator check teat coverage when dipping or spraying. The manufacturer also identifies Supa-Max as suitable for robotic milking plants; application must remain consistent with the product label and the equipment's requirements.
Allantoin, glycerol and sodium lactate form the emollient blend. These ingredients help condition the teat skin and support its pH balance, while the ready-to-use supply removes the need to prepare a dilution. This listing supplies the 25-litre container for regular use within the farm's routine.

Directions for Use
Prepare the product and equipment
Read the current container label and related documents before use. Do not dilute Supa-Max. Use clean dipping, foaming or spraying equipment appropriate to the selected application. Wear eye protection as directed by the safety data sheet; suitable gloves are recommended for prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Use as a pre-milking foam
Fill a foaming teat dip cup about two thirds full and squeeze the cup to generate foam. Dip the teats in the foam, then wipe clean using individual cloths or disposable paper towels. Complete the labelled preparation procedure before milking and follow the label for any required application time.
Dip or spray after milking
For dipping, fill the teat cup about two thirds full and dip every cow's teats immediately after milking, immersing the full length of each teat. Top up with fresh product as required. For spraying, apply immediately after milking and cover the entire surface of every teat.
Clean equipment and store securely
Empty and wash out dipping cups after milking. Keep the product in its original container, tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place and away from oxidising materials. Supa-Max causes serious eye irritation and is harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects; follow the safety data sheet for handling, spillages and disposal.

FAQs
Can Supa-Max be used before and after milking?
Yes, with the correct method for each stage. The product information specifies foam dipping before milking, followed by wiping clean with individual cloths or disposable paper towels. After milking, Supa-Max can be applied by dipping or spraying for complete teat coverage.
What dilution should I prepare?
No dilution is required. Supa-Max is supplied ready to use, so fill the appropriate cup or application equipment with the product as supplied. Follow the current label and keep the equipment clean throughout the routine.
What is the purpose of the blue colour?
The intense dark blue colour provides a visible indication of application. It helps the operator assess coverage, particularly when dipping or spraying after milking. Check the whole teat surface is treated rather than relying on colour in only one area.
Which ingredients support skin condition?
Supa-Max contains allantoin, glycerol and sodium lactate. This emollient blend helps keep teat skin soft and supple and supports pH balance. These conditioning properties accompany the chlorhexidine gluconate and lactic acid disinfectant formulation.
What does the microbiological profile show?
The current manufacturer profile includes EN 1656 bacterial suspension tests, modified EN 16437 surface tests and EN 1657 yeast tests. Conditions and contact times vary by organism and milking stage. Read the relevant tables and use the current label for practical application instructions.
What pack is listed and what handling information is available?
