VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: Sprayer, Boat, Aircraft 2. Concentration/Application Rate: A dispersant to oil ratio ranging from 1:50 to 1:10 is recommended. For heavy high viscosity oils - 8 gallons of SAF-RON GOLD will disperse approximately 70 gallons of crude oil or bunker C. Also for use with heavy high viscosity oils, SAF-RON GOLD can be used as a concentrate or diluted at a dispersant to water ratio of 1:10. For lighter oils, SAF-RON GOLD can be diluted at mixtures of 1:20 to 1:100. A recommended dispersant to water ratio of 1:40 can be used for most spills. Ratios are dependent upon type of oil and weather conditions. 3. Conditions for Use: Any applicable condition determined by authorities for dispersant use
