VIRKON TABLETS
Virkon Soluble Tablets are now available! In addition to the usual packs sizes of Virkon powder: 50gm Sachets, 500gm Squeeze bottles and 5Kg Drums, the 5gm tablet provides a new and quick way to make up 500ml of 1% Virkon solution. The tablet replaces the 10gm soluble sachet and has two major advantages over it's predecessor. Firstly, it dissolves much quicker and in a much cleaner fashion, and secondly they are much easier to pop into the neck of a trigger spray container, which is the application we see as being the most popular for this kind pack form.
The tablets are packed either 10 to a small pot or 50 to a larger tub, thereby offering a tub size to suit all needs. Virkon is still the ultimate high level surface disinfectant suitable for use on surfaces in Healthcare, Laboratory, Food preparation and production, Catering, Residential, Hotel, Transport, Emergency Services and Public environments.
