Decon 90

Description

Leading surface active cleaning agent/radioactive decontaminant, for laboratory, medical and industrial applications.

Supplied as a liquid concentrate, for dilution with water. For "manual" cleaning, or for use in an ultrasonic cleaning bath.

Appearance: Milky white, non-viscous liquid, having faint odour.

Formulation: A mixture of anionic and non-ionic surface active agents, stabilising agents, non-phosphate detergent builders, alkalis and sequestering agents, in an aqueous base. Does not contain phosphates, enzymes, EDTA/NTA or Chlorine bleaches.

Application: for cleaning and or decontaminating glassware, ceramics, rubbers, most plastics, stainless steel and ferrous metals.

Warnings: Not suitable for domestic applications. Being Alkaline, Decon 90 is not suitable for use on non-ferrous metals, notably aluminium and zinc, or on polycarbonate.

Method of use:

1. Prepare a 2% to 5% solution of Decon 90 with water (for critical applications, use demineralised water throughout).
2. Fully immerse the items to be cleaned and soak for 2 to 24 hours, depending upon the degree and tenacity of the soiling.
3. Problem contaminants can be treated by increasing the solution strength.
4. Cleaning time can be reduced by heating the solution (40°C to 50°C) or using in an ultrasonic cleaning bath.
5. The cleaned items must be rinsed thoroughly as soon as they are removed from the cleaning solution, and dried.
6. We recommend three agitated rinses in water to ensure removal of all traces of contamination and cleaning agent.
