Test results
Note: Regarding EU norm test sporicidal: Normal hydrogen peroxide does not kill spores. When we decided to do this test we wanted to see if Loxyde had any effect whatsoever on spores which is why a 20% solution was chosen. The end result clearly shows that 20% was a serious overkill with 100% of the test organisms destroyed. In practical field tests, excellent control of spores was achieved using dosages as low as 0.1%.
