Air washer systems are used extensively in textile factories and in the tobacco industry to scrub or clean the air and for fine control of temperature and humidity.
Application method(s)	Method: - Detailed description: Automatic and Manual Dosing The biocidal product is typically added in a central chilled water sump which supplies several air washers. The loading process may be conducted either manually or by automation. In the automated process, the biocide is metered directly into the sump from a holding tank or other type of bulk container by a dosimeter (pump). The feeding pipe must dose the biocidal product below the water level in order to limit its evaporation.
Application rate(s) and frequency	Application Rate: Curative application: Bacteria, yeasts and fungi. When the system is noticeably fouled, apply 5 to 14,9 mg C(M)IT/MIT (3:1) per Litre of water to be treated, as post treatment after a shock dose of minimum 0,3 ppm of free chlorine. Preventive application: algae When control is obtained, add a continuous or semi continuous feed of 3 to 5 mg C(M)IT/MIT (3:1) per L of water to be treated - Number and timing of application: Curative application: Bacteria, yeasts and fungi When the system is noticeably fouled, apply 5 to 14,9 mg C(M)IT/MIT (3:1) per Litre of water to be treated, as post treatment after a shock dose of minimum 0,3 ppm of free chlorine. Contact time of 1 hour. Preventive application: algae When control is obtained, add a continuous or semi continuous feed of 3 to 5 mg C(M)IT/MIT (3:1) per L of water to be treated. Regardless of the manner of treatment, the total concentration of the active ingredient C(M)IT/MIT (3:1) in the system should not exceed 14,9 mg/L in the sump water. Preliminary steps prior to addition: The biocidal product is automatically dosed to the system. Manual handling is necessary for the loading of the biocidal product into the dosing systems. Application Frequency: Nominally every 2 to 3 days or as needed to obtain control. Repeat until fouling is reduced to an acceptable level for controlling the microbial growth.

Product type	PT06: Preservatives for products during storage
Where relevant, an exact description of the authorised use	-
Target organism(s) (including development stage)	Scientific name: no data Common name: Bacteria Development stage: no data Scientific name: no data Common name: Yeasts Development stage: no data
Field(s) of use	indoor use Preservation of building (construction) products (including sealants, caulks, plasters etc.) The biocidal product is recommended to control the growth of bacteria in building (construction) products (sealants, caulks, biopolymers, plasters, fillers, admixtures concrete additives, joints compounds,..).
Application method(s)	Method: - Detailed description: Manual and automated dosing. The biocidal product should be dispensed to the end use fluid at a point to ensure adequate mixing using preferably automated metering pump or by manual addition.
Application rate(s) and frequency	Application Rate: Industrial uses: 1,5 - 14,5 % C(M)IT/MIT in the biocidal products; Professional uses: Add at typical use rate between 16,2-30 mg C(M)IT/MIT (3:1) per Kg final product to be treated. - Number and timing of application: The biocidal product is added at single dose at the time of manufacture, storage or shipment. Slowly dispense using automated metering or manually. Mix thoroughly until the biocidal product is evenly dispersed. Industrial uses: 1,5 - 14,5 % C(M)IT/MIT in the biocidal products. Professional uses: Add at typical use rate between 16,2-30 mg C(M)IT/MIT (3:1) per Kg final product to be treated. For the biocidal product as supplied: for industrial use only.

4.11.1.   Use-specific instructions for use

• — The preservative can be added at any stage of the production of the product.

• — Earliest possible addition is recommended for optimal protection.

• — Consult the manufacturer to determine the optimal dosage for the various products to be preserved.

• — It is recommended that the optimum biocide concentration and compatibility with individual formulations is determined by means of laboratory tests.

• — The duration and storage conditions of the preserved matrices may impact the efficacy of the product, microbiological tests should be conducted to determine the appropriate application rate without exceeding the maximum authorised application rate.

• — The biocidal product shall be used for treatment of products (articles/mixtures) distributed only to professional users.

4.11.2.   Use-specific risk mitigation measures

• — This use is restricted to the preservation of building material applied indoor only.

• — During handling phases for products from Meta SPC 1, 3 and 4 (mixing and loading), exposure to the product (corrosive and skin sensitizer products) has to be limited by use of PPE and application of technical and organisational RMM: — Minimisation of manual phases (process automation); — Use of a dosing device; — Regular cleaning of equipment and work area; — Avoidance of contact with contaminated tools and objects; — Good standard of general ventilation; — Training and management of staff on good practice.

• — PPE is as follows: — protective chemical resistant gloves (glove material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information); — protective coverall (at least type 3 or 4, EN 14605) which is impermeable for the biocidal product shall be worn (coverall material to be specified by the authorisation holder within the product information); — Eye protection; — Substance/task appropriate respirator if ventilation is inadequate.

For professional users, the maximal products concentration used for the preservation of building products being above the threshold value of 15 ppm, exposure has to be limited by use of PPE, protecting skin and mucous membranes potentially exposed, and application of technical and organisational RMM:

• — Minimisation of manual phases;

• — Regular cleaning of equipment and work area;

• — Good standard of general ventilation;

• — Training and management of staff on good practice.
