Supergel

Category: Decontamination > Surface Cleaning > Vacuum
Reference # : Model No :

Supergel uses a three-step procedure: the wetting agent causes the bound radioactivity to re-suspend in the pores; the super-absorbent gel then absorbs the radioactivity out of the pores and the contamination becomes fixed in the engineered nanoparticles that are present in the gel; contaminant is then removed from the surface by vacuuming thoroughly.

This product can be used on porous structures such as brick and concrete and does not harm the surface structure. Designed for indoor and outdoor uses. May be used to clean up after a detonation of a Radiation Dispersal Device or a dirty bomb.

Benefits

Removes nearly 80 percent of radioactive isotope. Leaves structures intact.
