Frequently Asked Questions
What does VHOCL6Q include?
One case contains six 32 fl oz (946 mL) VersaHOCl bottles with trigger sprayers. VHOCL6Q is the standard product number; the sterile version has the separate VHOCL6QST designation.
Does this disinfectant require dilution?
No. VersaHOCl VHOCL6Q is ready to use. Do not dilute or mix it with other chemicals; follow the current label instructions.
Is VHOCL6Q sterile?
This listing is for standard VHOCL6Q, not the separately identified sterile VHOCL6QST. For procedures requiring sterile chemistry, select the specified sterile product and confirm documentation.
How long does VersaHOCl need to remain on a surface?
Berkshire lists 3- or 5-minute contact times for the organisms shown above. The exact required time depends on the target organism and current label directions. Keep the surface wet throughout that period.
Does VersaHOCl contain alcohol or quaternary ammonium?
No. Berkshire identifies the formulation as free of quaternary ammonium compounds, surfactants, alcohols, and organic solvents. The active chemistry is 0.065% hypochlorous acid.
Can it be used as a hand sanitizer or sporicide?
This is a hard, non-porous surface product, not a hand sanitizer. The manufacturer information reviewed supports specified bacterial, viral, and fungal claims, not a sporicidal claim. Use a product explicitly labeled for the required application.
Use and Handling
Confirm material compatibility and follow the product label, safety data sheet, and facility procedures for handling, protective equipment, storage, and disposal. Do not interpret low odor or low residue as permission to disregard precautions.
