Storage
Zinc Aloy® should only be stored in its original container. The product should be stored away from direct sunlight and in frost free conditions, between 5˚C and 35˚C. Slight thickening can be a product characteristic under certain conditions. Containers should be shaken before use and rinsed thoroughly. Thickened product entering the spray tank will naturally disperse when mixed and diluted.
Instructions for Use
Read the label before use.
Always shake the bottle well before use.
NEVER MIX PESTICIDES IN THEIR CONCENTRATED FORM.
If Spray volumes are less than 200l/ha or if you are in doubt, then perform a “Jar test” on the mix before starting.
Half fill the tank with water and switch on agitation. Always make sure the additions are fully mixed until dissolved or dispersed before adding the next product.
• Add water conditioners, if needed. Add granules powders and mix well. Pre disperse if possible (WP, DG).
• Add Zinc Aloy® and other flowables (SC, SE).
• Add Emulsion Concentrates and crop oils (EC).
• Add water soluble: liquids and solids. (SL, SP).
• Add wetters, if needed and top up with water.
Provided these guidelines are followed almost all tank mixes are physically compatible, with continuous agitation. If agitation fails, for any reason, then it is essential to clean out the tank immediately.
Zinc Aloy® is tank mixable with most spray applied chemicals. Read all labels carefully and adhere to the instructions for use and advice regarding whether or not the products should be co-applied. If mixing products in the spray tank, add product first. Many variables outside the control of Safagrow can influence the performance of co-applied products and therefore co-application is entirely at the risk of the end user.
Disposal
Do not allow product to enter water courses un-diluted. Triple rinse emptied containers adding the rinsate to the spray tank. Handle empty containers and their residues as established and in accordance with local legislation and guidance.

Disclaimer
The product is compatible and can be mixed with many pesticides and nutrients but not all. However, Safagrow cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage resulting from tank mixes, as it is impossible to screen all possible mixes and conditions. Safagrow recommends the buyer tests the proposed mix on a small scale first.
