DEC’POL® Emergency Decontamination Mitt
DEC’POL® is an emergency CBRN decontamination mitt composed of a superabsorbent material containing specific catalyzers against chemical and biological threats. DEC’POL® mitt can absorb a wide spectrum of contaminants and subsequently destroys the contaminated agents. It is non-pulverulent and consequently prevents re-aerosolization risks.
It can be used on all types of surfaces, equipment and non-injured skin. The decontaminable surface of a DEC’POL® mitt is 9m². DEC’POL® is intended for Military, First-Responders and Industrial use. Tested against NATO AEP-58 and PR NF X 52-123; Report available upon request.
