Intracare has obtained a full biocidal product registration from the CTGB for its drinking system cleaner Intra Hydrocare.

The product is now registered for use in all categories: PT2 (private or medical sector), PT3 (veterinary sector) and PT4 (feed sector).

Intra Hydrocare cleans the complete watering system (e.g. storage reservoirs, pipes, drinking nozzles, cups and towers), both during and after the production period. The unique extensive registration makes Intra Hydrocare a novelty on VIV Europe 2010, April 20-22 in the Netherlands.

The CTGB is the competent authourity regarding the registration of biocidal products in the Netherlands and Europe.

According to Intracare marketing and sales manager Arjan van de Vondervoort, a study by the leading research institute TNO showed that Intra Hydrocare is also very effective against micro-organisms that are present in the veterinary sector, the PT3 use. Because of the new TNO study, the CTGB came to the conclusion that Intra Hydrocare can also be used for the category PT3.

It is essential that watering systems are purified on a regular basis to prevent that clean drinking water is being contaminated. Moreover, without regular cleaning, the contamination can become so serious, that disassembly or replacement of the total watering system is the only solution.
