RD-40 Radiological Decontamination Agent
The RD-40 is a decontaminate for equipment and vehicles, especially with the use of systems with foaming nozzle lances or projection system. It is a liquid agent decontaminant, disinfectant and antiseptic with broad bactericidal activity. Formulation into smooth foam format allows greater time action on the surfaces, allowing in turn more efficient decomposition reactions against aggressive radiological agents. Its white color makes it easy to visualize the status of the application on the surface.
