As a stand alone product added to carefully tested formulations, G-cide can be used as a disinfectant, preservative and sanitizer. The range of products which can incorporate G-cide as a substitute for existing ingredients is extensive and spread amongst many industries. Target market choice therefore is based on experience and demand.
