Using Seed SLIK„¢ Graphite

Preparation:
Apply in well-ventilated area. Application may cause graphite powder to become airborne. It is recommended that a dust particulate mask be used when using this product.

Apply in layers as seeds are being added to planter. Apply graphite in a layer pattern (seed-graphite-seed) for optimal powder distribution. Application rate of 1 Tablespoon per bag (70-80,000 seeds) or up 3 Tablespoons for heavily treated/rough seeds is recommended.

Lubricate new seed meters. Apply a light dusting of graphite to the bottom of the seed bin prior to adding seeds to properly lubricate meters, especially new ones.

Repeat as necessary. When refilling the bins, it is important to use as much Seed SLIK„¢ graphite seed flow as needed or recommended by the planter manufacturer.

Clean-Up Instructions:
Clean up material with soap and water. Graphite is naturally hydrophobic and will come off clothing, and skin using simple soap and water. Wipe up any spills on flooring to prevent slipping accidents.

Consult MSDS for information on disposal of unused materials, and safe handling practices.
