As it's cheaper than most I'm wondering if Chris has tried it yet  ;D ;D
Mind the msds is a bit baffling as does not state what the active ingredient is so that put me off straight away.

At £50.00 for 5 litres I wouldn't have said it was cheap.

I would imagine that Bac 50 is the main ingredient and half the price.

From what I'm lead to believe Benzalkonium chloride is not as good and is indeed a lot cheaper to produce and buy.

Didecyldimethylammonium chloride is what's in benz biocide and algoclear pro the other two brands I've used. They also don't hide the fact what the actual active ingredient is unlike some.

I still can't believe that someone can bring a new product to the market and produce an msds and we still have no idea what the product active ingredient is so we can get a true comparison if it's good value or not.

Not to worry bud as I'm sure the link might still come in handy for chaps that like to buy 14/15% hypo in bulk

Getting back on topic as far as soft wash 50 pro is concerned I will be giving it a wide birth until they update their msds and clearly state what the active ingredient is like benz biocide & algo clear pro do. Then only then I can decide if it's worth trying or not as not all quats based biocide brand are the same.

Why all this cloak and dagger stuff beats me  ::)roll
