Application
Rate of application should be 1 part to 20 – 30 parts of oil, although this will depend on many factors, which include, type of oil, viscosity, degree of weathering, ambient temperature and prevailing conditions.
In general, the oil should be treated quickly, as weathering increases the viscosity of the oil and this necessitates a subsequent increase in dispersant requirement.
Type 2 : (water dilutable) Concentrate. Premix at a ratio of 1 part to 10 parts of sea water and spray onto the slick using surface breaker boards or other enhanced agitation techniques to give greater mixing of the dispersant/oil emulsion.
Type 3 : (undiluted mode) Ready to Use. Use neat with appropriate spraying equipment from aircraft or vessels onto the slick. In all circumstances the Type 3 mode is the preferred method being more efficient in breaking down oil.
