When it comes to Cloramin B, its main use is bactericidal . Cloramin B is capable of killing up to 99.9% of broad-spectrum bacteria, fungi, spores and viruses.

How to mix Chloramin B solution

To make a solution of Cloramin B solution effectively, you need to pay attention to the following formula:

Amount of chemicals to be mixed = (Concentration of active chlorine of solution to be mixed x Number of liters: Active chlorine content of chemicals used) x 1000

Inside:

  1. Amount of chemicals to be mixed : this is the amount of chemicals you add to water to make, in grams.
  2. The active chlorine concentration of the solution to be mixed: is the concentration of the solution after you mix. Here we mixed the concentration of 0.5% is good bactericidal. Be careful not to mix more than 2% that can cause poisoning.
  3. Number of liters : is the number of liters of solution you want to mix. It depends on how much you clean.
  4. Active chlorine content of chemicals used : this is indicated by the manufacturer on the package label or instructions for use. Chloramin B powder for disinfection is usually 25%

For example: To mix 10 liters of a solution with 0.5% active chlorine concentration from chloramin B powder 25% active chlorine, it is necessary: ​​(0.5 x 10/25) x 1000 = 200 grams.

  1. Take 200 grams of chloramin B powder mixed into 10 liters of water, completely dissolve immediately to have 10 liters of solution with a concentration of 0.5%.

If you want to make effective way of mixing chloramin B, you need to pay attention because this is a fast-acting and powerful chemical, so when it is finished, it must be used immediately but not for more than 24 hours , the chemical will lose its wasteful effect.

Attention should be paid to the correct preparation according to the above formula to avoid occurrence of unnecessary poisoning cases .

How to use Chloramin B

  1. Weekly disinfection (in case there are no sick children) : soak toys, exposed objects, clean the floor and children's areas with Chloramin B solution, mix one teaspoon in 1 liter of water.
  2. Daily disinfection (in case of sick children) : disinfection must be done daily for 10 to 15 days. Mix 5 teaspoons of chloramin B powder in 1 liter of water. Diseased toys and supplies must be disinfected immediately after playing or using them.

Steps to disinfect toys, supplies and houses properly:

  1. Step 1 : Clean, wash away dust, dirt on the surfaces of young objects that are often in contact, living, sleeping, and floors before disinfecting.
