Surface active cleaning agent, and/or radioactive decontaminant, for laboratory, medical and industrial applications. Supplied as a liquid concentrate, for dilution with water. For 'manual' cleaning, or for use in an ultrasonic cleaning bath.
Surface active cleaning agent, and/or radioactive decontaminant, for laboratory, medical and industrial applications. For cleaning and/or decontaminating glassware, ceramics, rubbers, most plastics, stainless steel and ferrous metals.
NOT suitable for domestic applications.Being alkaline, DECON 90 is NOT suitable for use on non-ferrous metals, notably aluminium and zinc, or on polycarbonate.
Supplied in 5-litre high-density polyethylene containers, with "tamper-evident", screw-on caps,.Decon 90 satisfies the criteria in BS EN 1040 1997 for bacterial activity.
Formulation:
A mixture of anionic and non-ionic surface-active agents, stabilising agents, non-phosphate detergent builders, alkalis and sequestering agents, in an aqueous base.
Decon 90 does NOT contain Phosphates, Enzymes, EDTA/NTA or Chlorine Bleaches.
Method of use:
- Prepare a 2% to 5% solution of Decon 90 with water (For critical applications, use demineralised water throughout.)
- Fully immerse the items to be cleaned and soak for 2 to 24 hours, depending upon the degree and tenacity of the soiling.
- Problem contaminants can be treated by increasing the solution strength.
- Cleaning time can be reduced by heating the solution (40 rpmC to 50 rpmC) or using in an ultrasonic cleaning bath.
- The cleaned items must be rinsed thoroughly as soon as they are removed from the cleaning solution, and dried.
- Decon recommend three agitated rinses in water to ensure removal of all traces of contamination and cleaning agent.
