A Concentrated Formula Diluted to 0.5%

ANIOSYME X3 is supplied as a concentrated solution.

For standard use, the recommended dilution is 0.5%, equivalent to:

• 5 ml of product per 1 litre of water.

• 10 ml of product per 2 litres of water.

• 15 ml of product per 3 litres of water.

• 25 ml of product per 5 litres of water.

• 50 ml of product per 10 litres of water.

The solution can be prepared using cold or lukewarm water, according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

This low concentration allows economical use.

One 1-litre bottle can theoretically prepare up to 200 litres of solution at 0.5%.

The recommended dosage must be followed to ensure the expected performance.
