Immediate packaging
A brown coloured emulsifiable concentrate packed in a rectangular 5 litre tin container. The dip concentrate container is fitted with a non-removable sealed closure incorporating a male inlet Quick Acting Shut-off coupling (QASC), a female outlet QASC and a draw tube that extends from beneath the outlet QASC to the marked corner of the container. When the container is fitted correctly into the dispensing kit, the tilt mechanism allows withdrawal of the maximum amount of dip concentrate from the container. The dip concentrate in the container must be dispensed directly into the dip tank only by using the Gold Fleece Sheep Dip Dispensing Kit.
Disposal
Dangerous to fish and other aquatic life. Do not contaminate surface waters. Harmful to game, wild and domestic birds and mammals. Do not allow access to dilute dip.
It is an offence to permit any poisonous, noxious or polluting matter to enter any river, stream or watercourse.
Any unwanted product should be disposed of by a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Empty containers should be washed out three times, as directed in the washing instructions provided with the Dispensing Kit and the rinsings placed into the dip bath. Because the container is a closed, sealed system, it must be punctured before crushing. The dispensing kit has been shown in tests to withstand 5 years of simulated use. If you do need to dispose of the kit, rinse the gun and hoses thoroughly as directed in the washing instructions provided with the Dispensing Kit. Dispose of rinsed containers and the dispensing kit in accordance with any guidance from an appropriate waste regulation authority.
To dispose of used sheep dip an authorisation under the Groundwater Regulations 1998 is required. To apply for an authorisation contact the Environment Agency (EA) or the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) or the Environment and Heritage Service of the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland (EHS/DENI). Alternatively spent dip wash should be disposed of by a licensed waste disposal contractor.
