FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why does mixing matter?

Decontamination chemistries need to be thoroughly mixed to yield 100% efficacy. This is true of all decontamination solutions, including Dahlgren Decon, DF200, and even traditional bleach-based products, because properly mixing activates each products’ active ingredients.

Read the full technical brief: Why Mixing Matters

What is the pH of Dahlgren Decon?

After proper mixing, Dahlgren Decon’s final pH should be between 6.8 – 7.2.

Why A, B1, B2 and not A, B, C?

Although Part A can be used alone to remove contamination, Dahlgren Decon Parts B1 and B2 must be used together to yield a pH neutral chemical neutralizer. Using these B-Parts individually or out-of-order will result in adverse effects.

Can I use Part A alone to remove contaminants?

Yes.  Part A is extremely effective at physical removal of contamination and does not require regulatory (FDA) approval for the cleaning of skin. Part A does not neutralize contaminants and should only be used for physical removal.

Can I use Dahlgren Decon on skin?

Not yet. Dahlgren Decon has not yet been approved for use on skin.

Will Dahlgren Decon corrode my PPE or sensitive equipment?

No. Dahlgren Decon’s neutral pH, non-toxic by-products, and non-flammability allow for decontamination of most threats on personal protective equipment (PPE), sensitive equipment, and critical infrastructure.

Concerned about PPE? Read DuPont Protection Solutions’ test report on permeability.

I opened the B1 and B2 packets to see what was inside. Can I reseal for later use?

No. Once the B1 or B2 packets are opened they need to be used or discarded

THE DECON LANDSCAPE

Dahlgren Decon reduces the time to mix, apply, dwell, and clean-up which means a threat has less time to cause damage that would result in equipment or infrastructure to be discarded.

Dahlgren Decon has a higher efficiency in neutralizing larger areas of coverage with smaller volumes of solution than water, bleach, or hydrogen peroxide.
