Containers of DS-2 Decontaminating Solution

Abstract

As it has become difficult to obtain standard 5-gallon steel containers with welded double seams and 1-1/3-quart terneplate containers for storage of decontaminating agent DS-2, a search was made for suppliers and for other suitable containers. Containers made from high-density polyethylene alone and enclosed in a steel container were found to be unsatisfactory because of the rapid permeation of DS-2 through the polyethylene. No suitable substitute for the standard containers was found.
