V. SHELF LIFE
The shelf life of Dispersit SPC 1000™ is unlimited in unopened containers. Containers must be kept closed when not in use to prevent contamination.

VI. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Application Method: The dispersant may be applied by any conventional methods such as 1) aerial spraying and 2) boat spraying to accommodate weather conditions. 2. Concentration/Application Rate: A dispersant to oil ratio ranging from 1 part dispersant to 50 parts oil to 1 part dispersant to 10 parts oil; or an application rate of about 2-10 gallons (7.6 liters- 37.9 liters) per acre (4840 square meters) is suggested. These rates will be dependent on the type of oil, degree of weathering, temperature and extent of oil slick. 3. Conditions for Use: Timely application ensures the highest degree of successful dispersion of the oil spill.
