DeconPeel coating traps and encapsulates a wide
spectrum of radioisotopes and chemicals in easy
to apply , no requirement for pre-preparation
process allowing easy and safe disposal without
the use of water. When dry, the product locks
the contaminants into a Polymer matrix. The film
containing the encapsulated contamination can
then be peeled and disposed.

Decon Klean is concentrated liquid
cleaner formulated for many clean up
decontamination tasks - from loose
particle contamination to degreasing
tools and components to cleaning
decontamination areas of all sizes.
It can also be used for hand wiping
and floor mopping. Decon Klean is
safe and effective for use on
virtually all surfaces including
concrete and tile floors, painted
surfaces, fabrics, plastics, rubber,
neoprene, nylon, glass and most
metals.
DeconPeel is a non-hazardous,
non-toxic solution formulated for
removing and preventing the spread
of radioactive contamination.
DeconPeel is used for the
decontamination of floors, walls and
equipment, and it is also suitable
for system components including
reactor cavities, glove boxes and
hot cells. While curing, DeconPeel
mechanically and chemically entraps
contamination. After curing, the
coating strips off, along with loose
surface contamination. DeconPeel can
also work as a shield or barrier to
prevent contamination or as a
covering to contain contamination.
DeconPeel has achieved
decontamination factors of several
hundred and proven effective.

Temporary Protective peelable
coating Paste Liquid Masking Tape
For Decontamination
Keeping a
medical facility free of
contamination is important both for
the safety of patients as well as
staff. DeconPaste_Medical is
designed to trap and encapsulate a
wide spectrum of radioisotopes,
chemical spill residues in easy to
apply , no requirement for
pre-preparation process allowing
easy and safe disposal without the
use of water. When dry, the product
locks the contaminants into a

the encapsulated contamination can
then be peeled and disposed. Also
available in spray and brush
version.

Suitable
for virtually all substrates
including polycarbonates, plastic
and painted surfaces
Nuclear Medicine Decontamination And
Microbiological Decontamination For
Health Care Facilities:
When a decision to terminate operations
at a nuclear facility is implemented,
the building and site must be
decommissioned to protect the public and
DOD personnel from unacceptable residual
contamination. The decommissioning
process is intended to render a facility
such that it poses no radiation health
safety hazards which would limit use or
demolition of the remaining facility.
There are two main applications for our
strippable coatings in Decontamination
process ::
1. As a Peelable coating in order to
prevent contamination taking place on
the surfaces of objects such as robots,
glove boxes or modular containment
systems which would otherwise become
contaminated by low radiation dust
particles.
The Peelable coating is first applied to
the clean surface. As this coated
surface becomes contaminated by the
ensuing process subsequent layers of
peelable coating is applied to
encapsulate and capture the
contamination. The whole dry strippable
film may then be stripped away for
disposal as dry waste.
2. As containment or tie down. Our
strippable coating is applied used to
contain surface contamination is
available in many colors and is applied
by spray, roller or brush.
Typical customer Inquiry: Dear Sir /
Madam, Please could I have some more
information (Tech data sheet, MSDS and
cost) on your DeconPeel 4580? Is it
suitable for use on concrete surfaces?
If not can you recommend an alternative?
We intend using it to 'tie down'
contamination on the walls of a cooling
pond located on a Nuclear site. Please
contact me if you require any further
information, Thanks for any assistance
you can offer, Design Engineer.
"I am in process of developing methods
to decontaminate a process hot cell that
has a film of residual solids left after
the evaporation of Hydroflouric Acid,
Boric acid, Nitric Acid and Aluminum
Nitrate chemicals that contained
relatively high concentrations of
dissolved cadmium, boron, uranium and
zirconium. Do you have a product that is
compatible with these chemicals to use
to help strip off and minimize the
contamination on walls and floors made
of welded stainless steel?"
Customer Inquiry : Nuclear application -
a strippable coating to bind up and help
remove solidified residuals of the
following liquids: Zirconyl Nitrate in
2M Nitric Acid; Aluminum Nitrate 2 M
with 30 g/L cadmium Nitrate;
Hydrofluoric Acid with 12 g/L Boron,
cadmium sulfate, Nitric Acid 13M with 30
g/L cadmium nitrate. These acids would
have zirconium alloys, uranium and
transuranic isotopes dissolved in them.
The materials have dried to a
crystalline powder on sst and hastaloy
surfaces.
Also, small volumes of these liquids
will be spilled on the applied coating
over a period of 12 months prior to
removal.
Do you have a coating that can be
applied over a wet surface? There
appears to be a wet layer at the bottom
of some of the thicker layers of these
materials. Also, we may wash down the
surfaces with high pressure water prior
to applying the coating and do not have
a good means of drying the surfaces
other than allowing the ventilation flow
to dry it out over time. The radiation
levels are relatively high so this
coating will need to be applied be
sprayer using remote manipulators.
2. Typical customer Inquiry: Dear Sirs,
We at the A Nuclear Power Station are in
the middle of various de-commissioning
activities on site prior to entering a
long-term period of care and
maintenance.
One of the next activities to be
performed is the draining-down of the
concrete built reactor cooling water
ponds.
Our technical guys have suggested that
there might be the need to apply a
Temporary Protective Removable Coating
to the wet concrete surfaces of the
ponds after drain-down and power spray
cleaning to contain any contaminated
surface particulate and also prevent
airborne contamination.
This temporary coating would later be
peeled away taking any loose particulate
with it to be replaced with a more
permanent and hard-wearing coating.
We found your company name via the
internet and in the first instance would
be grateful if you could advise which
office/contact point within your group
would be the best recipient when we are
ready to issue a further detailed
enquiry.
If you can offer any suitable product(s)
or other related advice etc then we'd be
pleased to hear from you.
Our recommendations :4580 and 4000 are
water based peelable coatings that can
be applied to a moist concrete surfaces.
Both products cure upon water
evaporation. The cured coatings are
clear(uncured coatings are milky)and
water resistant.
Peeling can only be accomplished with
cured coatings. We recommend a minimum
of 12 mils of wet coating to accomplish
good peel and debris pickup.
