Getting Chemical Dilution
Right, Consistently

Incorrect dilution is one of the most common — and most fixable — causes of poor results and wasted chemical spend.

WHY IT MATTERS

The Two Failure Directions

Under-Dilution

Wasted Product

Higher concentration than needed increases cost without improving results, and can leave residue.

Over-Dilution

Poor Results

Under-strength solution fails to clean effectively, often prompting staff to apply more — worsening the waste problem.

HOW TO CONTROL IT

Three Practical Fixes

Pre-measured dosing equipment removes guesswork entirely and is the most reliable fix. Where that is not available, colour-coded, clearly labelled dilution containers reduce mix-ups. Either way, dilution ratios should be posted visibly at the point of use, not only in a manual kept elsewhere.

GENERIC DILUTION CALCULATOR

Calculate A 1:X Dilution

Use this calculator only for a generic ratio check. The current product TDS and approved site procedure govern the actual product concentration and method.

Concentrate1.00 L
Water9.00 L
Formula: concentrate = final volume / (X + 1). Water = final volume - concentrate.

Product-Specific Charts

Dilution ratios vary by product and application — every Everklin product’s technical data sheet (TDS) includes the correct ratio for its intended use. Request current TDS documentation for your specific product range.
