Waterless Personnel Decontamination

In emergency situations involving chemical exposure, quick decontamination is crucial for the safety of personnel. Traditional decontamination methods often require water, which may not be available in field operations or disaster scenarios. The FAST-ACT Pressurized Cylinder offers a waterless personnel decontamination solution that ensures swift and effective neutralization of toxic vapors in environments where water access is limited or unavailable. 

The FAST-ACT Pressurized Cylinder is a compact, portable tool that provides an instant, waterless decontamination solution for personnel exposed to chemical hazards. By using FAST-ACT’s technology, the pressurized cylinder neutralizes harmful vapor threats on contact, ensuring rapid decontamination and neutralization without the need for water. 

How Does it Work for Waterless Personnel Decontamination?

FAST-ACT’s formula quickly adsorbs and neutralizes toxic substances, making it highly effective in mitigating a variety of hazardous chemicals, including: 

• Toxic Vapors: Chemical warfare agents, industrial chemicals, and unknown chemical threats. 

• Toxic Liquids: Spills of hazardous materials, including acids, and other dangerous substances. 

Once deployed, the FAST-ACT Pressurized Cylinder releases a powder (the FAST-ACT technology) that neutralizes the harmful chemicals, leaving personnel protected from chemical threats. The process is fast-acting and safe, preventing the spread of contamination to the surrounding environment. 

Why It’s Essential?

Traditional decontamination methods often rely on water, which can be difficult to access in certain high-risk environments. Whether dealing with a vapor threat in a remote location, responding to a chemical attack, or operating in an area without infrastructure, the FAST-ACT Pressurized Cylinder offers a fast, reliable alternative. Its waterless personnel decontamination design ensures:  

• Immediate Response: They allow for rapid deployment of decontamination agents, which is critical in situations where contaminants can pose immediate health risks to personnel. 

• Efficiency: These cylinders enable the application of decontaminants without the need for water, making them particularly valuable in environments where water is scarce or unavailable, such as in disaster zones or remote locations. 

• Reduced Risk of Secondary Contamination: Waterless decontamination methods can minimize the risk of spreading contaminants to surrounding areas, as there are no runoff issues to consider. 

• Lightweight and Portable: Fast-act cylinders are typically designed to be portable, allowing emergency responders to carry and use them easily in various situations. 

• Versatility: They can often be used on various surfaces, PPE, and personnel; and for different types of contaminants, making them adaptable to various scenarios. 

• Time-Saving: The use of FAST-ACT decontaminants can significantly reduce the time required for decontamination procedures, which is crucial in saving lives and preventing further exposure. 

• Safety: The FAST-ACT technology is non-toxic and safe to use in a variety of scenarios.
