Decon Green (trademark)
Abstract
Decon Green (trademark) is a hydrogen peroxide-based decontaminant designed to replace DS2; it affords the broad-spectrum decontamination of chemical and biological warfare agents. Composed entirely of ingredients commonly found in cosmetics, detergents, laundry boosters, and vitamins, Decon Green (trademark) is extremely environmentally friendly and leaves no toxic residues. Decon Green (trademark) retains the low-temperature decontamination ability of DS2, but it is noncorrosive to aluminum and steel. Decon Green (trademark) is less harsh than DS2 on CARC-painted surfaces, yet it provides more thorough decontamination efficacy. The penetrating ability of Decon Green's (trademark) excellent solvent system provides for the unsurpassed decontamination of both hard and soft surfaces. However, the latter may be compromised to minimize life-threatening off-gassing of sorbed agents from these nonhardened surfaces.
