Sodium fluoride has bactericidal properties and is commonly used in insecticides and rodenticides.
The bactericidal mechanism of sodium fluoride is to inhibiti the growth and reproduction of bacteria and fungi.
In agriculture
Bacteriostat & pesticide
Sodium fluoride can be used to control a wide range of plant diseases and insect pests by disrupting the cell membranes of pathogens or inhibiting their growth to achieve bactericidal and insecticidal effects.
Biocide for fish pond water
Sodium fluoride can be used as a biocide for fish pond water treatment.
When using sodium fluoride for fish pond water treatment, the concentration and amount used must be controlled to ensure the best bactericidal effect.
Generally speaking, the concentration of sodium fluoride used is around 5-10 mg/liter, and the amount used needs to be determined according to the volume and water quality of the fish pond. For general fish ponds, the use of sodium fluoride concentration of 10 mg / liter, 2 grams of sodium fluoride per cubic meter of water to carry out bactericidal treatment can effectively kill bacteria and viruses in the water, to achieve the purpose of maintaining clean water and promoting the healthy growth of fish.
When using sodium fluoride for bactericidal treatment, it is necessary to dissolve sodium fluoride in water, to stir well before putting it into the water. It should be processed for a certain period of time after being put into the water before the fungicide can give full play to its effect.
At the same time, in the process of using sodium fluoride, you need to pay attention to controlling the pH value and temperature of the water to ensure the stability and effect of the fungicide.
Wood preservation
Sodium fluoride can also be used for wood preservation, which extends the life of wood by penetrating into the wood and preventing the growth of fungi and bacteria.
Note
Sodium fluoride itself is not used directly as a biocide for humans. It is toxic and can cause acute poisoning if applied directly to the human body.
If food contaminated with sodium fluoride is accidentally ingested, it may cause damage to the digestive system as well as the nervous system, with symptoms of poisoning such as bloody vomit, diarrhea, increased salivation, and limb spasms. A single large intake of sodium fluoride may result in serious symptoms such as cardiac arrhythmia, respiratory failure, and hypoxia.
Besides the usage of bacteriostat, sodium fluoride has a lot of applications as well. Please click the link for the details.
