New Foam Product From INTELAGARD Will Revolutionise Decontamination Theory and Practice

A foam product that will revolutionise decontamination theory and practice in Europe is being introduced from the US by Professional Protection Systems. Designated EasyDECON™ DF 2000 this new decontamination solution is capable of killing or neutralising a broad range of WMD contaminants.

Also because of its unique chemical structure it can be used on practically anything from vehicles to whole buildings.
A chemical and biological decontaminant it also kills mould
as well as eliminating its smell. EasyDECON™DF200 is particularly suitable for the decontamination of structures
as it has the unique ability to adhere to vertical and inverted surfaces where it creates a foam blanket to maintain the required contact time between agent and the decontamination formulation. It has the added virtue of being non-corrosive and its use adds no environmental load to the clean-up operation.

Kill time ranges from a few minutes to half and hour depending on agent and environmental conditions. When used with application equipment designed by the US Intelagard company even coverage is achieved thus maximising contact time and suppressing any reaction from the agent being treated whilst decontamination takes place.

Whilst the Intelagard company are suppliers of EasyDECON™ and equipment for its application to the American military and Homeland Security amongst others PPS have won exclusive rights to the product in the UK, France, Spain, Germany, Japan and Italy all of whom are major users of current PPS decontamination equipment.

The obvious major feature of this new system being offered by PPS is that it does not use water. According to Mark Whitcher, Managing Director of PPS, water has been at the core of all decontamination technologies until now. “Essentially what water does” he says “is move contaminant from one place to another. In small quantities water can be contained and disposed of. With something the size of a vehicle you start to have problems and with a building it becomes just about impossible to use successfully. EasyDECON™ is the answer”.

Various systems for the delivery of the foam are available, from a backpack to a large scale fixed site decontamination system. A relatively small scale deployment apparatus, a backpack unit named the Macaw can be used for facilities protection at nuclear power plants, pharma companies, petro-chemical facilities and similar process operations as well as military installations. It has also developed a sport side being on hand at most US Grand Prix events. The fixed site decontamination system on the other hand can undertake interior and exterior building decontamination, hazmat and fire response, cargo and infrastructure protection as well as decontamination at airports, runways, seaports and roads amongst other types of infrastructure.
