Toxic Chemicals Spill Response Kit

Abroad-spectrum toxic chemical spill response kit from Enware was formulated to end potential confusion and delay in responding to a wide range of hazardous chemical spills and vapours leaks in laboratories, including commercial, industrial, scientific, educational, and medical facilities. FAST-ACT? (First Applied Sorbent Treatment-Against Chemical Threats) is a non-toxic, non-corrosive, and environment-friendly sorbent that is easy to maintain and use, requires no pre-mixing, and has no limited shelf life. Originally, it was developed for the military to counter chemical warfare agents. FAST-ACT has also been successfully trialled on hydrofluoric acid at the Australian National University to complement its successful use on the most toxic industrial chemicals and toxic industrial materials in the market.

FAST-ACT rapidly neutralises a broad spectrum of toxic chemicals including acids, solvents, halogens, acidic and caustic gases, phosphorus, and organic compounds. It offers one-step neutralisation of a broad spectrum of liquid or vapour spills found in laboratories used by organisations, including defence, emergency services, educational, government, hospitals and medical, chemical manufacturing, general manufacturing, mining and resources, materials handling, petroleum and energy, process engineering, and transport.

In addition to being highly effective on hydrofluoric acid, which can quickly cause severe skin, eyes, and respiratory irritations, the powder is quickly effective on typical small spills of highly toxic chemicals found in laboratories, including spills in confined spaces and vapours around fume cupboards, for example. Available in shakers, wall units, and pressurised cylinders, FAST-ACT not only adsorbs a wide range of dangerous industrial and military substances—including those as powerful as chemical warfare agents—but also it breaks them down to safer byproducts.

This technological breakthrough enables relatively small quantities of product to be used immediately on toxic liquid or vapour incidents. This is because FAST-ACT technology creates a massive increase in the powder’s active surface area. Just 20 g NanoActive FAST-ACT has a surface area equivalent to a football field.
