Do not discharge effluent containing this product into
lakes, ponds, streams, estuaries, oceans or public waters
unless in accordance with the requirements of a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
and the permitting authority has been notified in writing
prior to discharge. Do not discharge effluent containing

reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary
landfill, or incineration or, if allowed by state and
local authorities, by burning. If burned stay out of
smoke.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product
in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. This formulation
is not cleared by Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
for use in manufactured food grade adhesive, paper and
paper board products and paper coating.
ADHESIVES
PROTRAM™ 20 can be used as an additive to non-medical,
non-food use natural and synthetic adhesive formulations
and caulks to prevent the growth of fungal organisms
in the material both in the wet state and in the dry
film of the finished product.
Recommended use levels are between 0.1 - 1.25% wet formulation
weight. This product should be added toward the end
of production cycle with good agitation to ensure a
uniform distribution. For example, to inhibit the growth
of mildew on a latex-based wall cover adhesive for a
non-food area add 1.0% (10 lbs. of PROTRAM™ 20
per 1000 lbs. of latex-based adhesive formulation) of
this product to the latex-based formulation.
AQUEOUS METALWORKING, CUTTING, COOLING, & LUBRICATING
CONCENTRATES
To inhibit the growth of fungi in an aqueous metalworking,
cutting, cooling & lubricating concentrates add
an amount that will give up to 5,000 ppm in the diluted
fluid. The amount required in the concentrate will depend
on the end use dilution. For example, if the desired
level of this product in the diluted fluid is 500 ppm,
and the end use dilution of the fluid is 5%, then a
1.0% concentration of this product is required in the
concentrate (500 ppm/ 0.05 = 10,000 ppm or 1.0%).
AQUEOUS METALWORKING, CUTTING, COOLING, & LUBRICATING
FLUIDS
To inhibit the growth of fungi in an aqueous metalworking,
cutting, cooling & lubricating fluids add up to
5,000 parts per million (0.5% v/v) of this product to
the diluted fluid (0.5 gallons per 100 gallons of solution
or 5 liters per 1000 liters). This product may be added
to the fluid at the time it is prepared (diluted) or
to the reservoir (sump) containing the fluid after it
is put into use. If it is added to the reservoir, the
fluid should be circulated after addition to ensure
mixing.
CORDAGE
PROTRAM™ 20 may be used as a mildewcide in both
aqueous and solvent based process formulations, which
coat cordage.
Typical use levels of this product will range from 0.1
- 5% of the process formulations used in the process
of these cordages.
This product should be added to the process formulation
at the end of the production cycle with good agitation
to prevent possible mechanical losses and to ensure
a uniform distribution. As an example, to inhibit the
growth of mildew on cordage intended for a non-food
area add 2.5% (25 lbs. PROTRAM™ 20 per 1000 lbs.
of process formulation) of this product to the process
formulation.
INKS
PROTRAM™ 20 may be used in aqueous-based ink solutions
for protection of these solutions against attack by
fungal organisms. It is recommended that this product
be added at the end of the production cycle with good
agitation. This product will generally impart protection
when used at levels of 0.05 - 3.0% of active ingredient
based on the formula weight.
PAINTS AND STAINS
PROTRAM™ 20, used in solvent and waterborne paints
and stains, will inhibit the growth of mildew. Addition
should be at the end of the manufacturing process and
allowed to mix long enough to be adequately dispersed
and should not be added to hot paint. Typical levels
for protection against mildew on painted surfaces are
0.5 - 2.4% by weight on wet paint. For example, house
paint with a wet density of 10 lbs. per gallon would
use 5 - 24.0 lbs. of this product per 100 gallons of
wet paint. Where the climate is severe and mildew growth
is a major problem for painted surfaces, more would
be required, as much as 4.0% by weight in the paint.
For interior paint use, approximately half the exterior
concentrations should be used, 0.2 - 1.2% by weight
in the paint. Appropriate levels are best determined
by field trials.
PLASTICS AND PLASTIC
COATINGS
PROTRAM™ 20 may be used to prevent surface mildew
growth on plastic items such as shower curtains, cable
and wire insulation and sun umbrellas. Intended plastics
include polymers such as PVC. Use levels of 1.5 - 5.0%
by weight of the plastic are generally adequate. This
product should be dispersed in the plasticizer or color
concentrate before it is incorporated into the resin
to ensure a uniform distribution. Use of this product
is not recommended if the heat of processing is above
350 oF for prolonged periods, nor should it be used
in a plastic that will be in contact with food or medical
device applications.
PAPER COATINGS
PROTRAM™ 20 may be used as a mildewcide in both
aqueous and solvent-based coatings, which are applied
to paper and cardboard substrates. This product can
be used to prevent mold and mildew from growing on products
such as: corrugated cardboard or soap wrappers, wall
covers, non-food contact packaging materials, and non-food
contact paper tapes. Use levels of this product range
from 0.1 - 3.75% of this product by weight. This product
should be added at the end of the production cycle and
with good agitation to prevent possible mechanical losses
and to ensure uniform distribution. As an example, to
inhibit growth of mildew on corrugated cardboard intended
for a non-food packaging add 2.5% (25 lbs. PROTRAM™
20 per 1000 lbs. of coating material) of this product
to the coating material formulation.
WOOD PRESERVATION
PROTRAM™ 20 is a liquid designed for use as a wood
preservative for use in above ground applications. All
recommendations of use levels are in percentage by weight,
and refer to this product. Dosage ranges are given for
the various applications to indicate the approximate
levels for a particular application. Exact level of
use should be determined by field trials PROTRAM™
20 may be applied from solvent solutions or aqueous
dispersions to new lumber, plywood, particle board,
millwork, etc., to prevent the growth of mildew, sapstain
and wood rot on these substrates. This product is recommended
for use on wood in above ground use only.
Treating solutions may be prepared by diluting this
product in alcohols or aromatic solvents or by dispersion
in water. Levels of 0.5 - 6.0% of this product are suggested
depending upon the severity of conditions for end use,
and the extent of time that protection is required.
For freshly sawn lumber, a concentration of 1.0% of
this product is suggested as a starting level. A one
minute dip at ambient temperatures in a solution or
aqueous dispersion containing 1.0% of this product should
be adequate to control the development of mildew and
sapstain organisms on the lumber. Because of the great
variation in susceptibility of fresh sawn lumber relating
to the type of wood, sawing and storage techniques,
conditions of humidity, method of treatment, etc., it
is usually necessary to carry out field tests to determine
the most appropriate means of application and the optimum
concentration of this product to be used within the
range specified.
For best results, lumber should be treated within twenty-four
hours after it is sawed. The lumber should be completely
immersed in the treating bath, and the treating vat
designed to permit easy immersion and removal, and to
minimize spillage.
The vat may be cleaned by emptying and rinsing with
a suitable solvent or by use of a detergent solution.
To add additional product while treating, first prepare
the proper solution or emulsion in a separate container
(of wood, plastic, or stainless steel construction)
and add to the treating vessel.
After treatment, lumber should be stacked in a properly
maintained seasoning yard with good drainage so that
no water will accumulate, in any area. The yard should
be kept free from weeds and vegetation, which may hold
moisture and promote growth of decay and stain producing
fungi. All debris and lumber scraps should be removed
from the area. A properly laid out yard should take
advantage of prevailing winds to permit good air circulation.
Main alleys should be at least 16 feet wide. Stack foundations
should be sufficiently elevated to permit ready access
of air to the pile, and allow water to drain off quickly.
