An Effective CB Material from Combined Components of Triosyn(Trademark) Resin and Surface Enhanced Carbon

Abstract

The tremendous concern over the threat of biological and chemical warfare agents has necessitated the research and development of greatly improved methods for the absorption and catalytic destruction of these toxic contaminants. With the use of proven biocidal efficiency of the Triosyn(Trademark) iodine resin and carbon based new materials, the research objective is to produce a barrier possessing the dual properties of decontaminating both chemical warfare and biological agents. Vapor testing performed allowed for the down selection of prototypes; POX3/1/0/A, OX5H/C, and OX5H/D which displayed excellent absorption capacity, microbiological reduction rates greater than 99.9% against MS2 phage, and displayed non-toxic threshold limit values.
