Recommended levels/use: The properties of METOLAT 364 are greatly dependent upon our customer’s
formulations and consequently, should always be tested (possibly at different
treatment levels, temperatures, and/or time intervals) to verify performance prior to
use. Optimization studies are recommended to achieve the proper cost effective
dosage level. The normal dosage ranges from 0.1% to 2.0%
Packaging: Drums holding approx. 150 kg net and kegs holding approx. 30 kg net.
Our technical suggestions are based on data from many experiments and cannot represent a warranty of any kind as to their performance in other formulations. Customers
must always verify our product’s performance in their own systems. This technical data sheet replaces all previous issues.
