Inert ingredients 40%
Total 100%
Is this the same stuff to use that has been recommended?
In a nutshell, NO. these are both linear quats...the kind that foam and the 60% concentration is a bit misleading, Yes, there are 60 % linear quats in the mix but there are 2 different ones and they are both at 30%. Seems like marketing hype to confuse people into thinking it is polyquat.
HTH has been changing all their formulas lately...Whether Arch Chemicals (their parent company) is just trying to save money and maximize profits or have gone off the deep end and actually believe
that their 'new and improved' products actually are is anyones guess.
