DE90-5L-1

Decon 90 Decontamination Solution is a surface-active cleaning agent, and/or radioactive decontaminant trusted by industry professionals. Supplied as a liquid concentrate, for dilution with water, Decon 90 is ideal for cleaning equipment and surfaces in laboratory, medical and industrial applications. Decon 90 is a highly alkaline solution (pH13) and therefore unsuitable for use on non-ferrous metals.

For decontaminating non-ferrous metals, use Decon Neutracon. For PFAS-free cleaning/decontamination solution, use Liquinox.

Decon 90 Decontamination Solution is :

  • Highly efficient on petroleum contamination
  • Phosphate-free
  • Non-flammable
  • Completely risible


Method Of Use

  • Prepare a 2% to 5% solution of Decon 90 with water.
  • Fully immerse the items to be cleaned and soak for 2 to 24 hours, depending upon the degree and tenacity of the soiling.
  • Problem contaminants can be treated by increasing the solution strength
  • Cleaning time can be reduced by heating the solution (40°C to 50°C) or using in an ultrasonic cleaning bath.

The cleaned items must be rinsed thoroughly as soon as they are removed from the cleaning solution, and dried. We recommend three agitated rinses in water to ensure removal of all traces of contamination and cleaning agent.

Decon 90 is available from Air-Met Scientific in a 5L high density polyethylene container with "tamper-evident", screw-on caps.

Note - It is NOT suitable for use on non-ferrous metals or polycarbonate
