Making a Solution

Easy to mix solutions using Rhizopon tablets 

Tips:

  • Most applications require mixing the tablets in water only.
  • The active ingredients entirely dissolve during mixing.
  • To save time and to achieve total mixing of a large number of tablets use an electric hand blender. Total mixing using a blender takes only a few seconds. Mix an adequate amount of liquid to assure adequate blender action. You might see some foam and particles on top of the solution; these are inert particles which do not affect the results.
  • Mix solution for one time use. Discard the unused portion.
  • Active Ingredients entirely dissolve in water up to 20 tablets per liter (100 ppm IBA)
    Tablets can be dissolved to higher concentrations using a small amount of alcohol to dissolve then add an additional amount of water to bring the solutionup to full concentration.
  • Use a plastic container. Do not use metal.
  • Water: use clean water preferably distilled or de-ionized.
  • Alcohol: use methyl or isopropyl or ethyl.
  • Dissolve tablets at 68F - 80F. The warmer temperature speeds the dissolving.

Each Rhizopon AA Water Soluble Tablet (250 mg) contains

  • 50 mg of the Active Ingredient (IBA).
  • One tablet in one liter of solution contains 50 ppm IBA
