Broad spectrum decontamination formulation and method of use

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A decontamination formulation is provided which is effective against a broad spectrum of chemical and biological warfare agents and radioactive dusts comprising an active decontamination agent a co-solvent, a buffer system to optimize the initial reaction pH above 8.5 and more preferably in the range of to 11 for favoring oxidation of VX and HD and hydrolysis of G agents and a surfactant similar to fire-fighting foaming agent. Formulations comprise in water by weight, 1 % to 15% of a hydrated chloroisocyanuric acid salt 1% to 10% of a polypropylene glycol co-solvent 1 % to 15% surfactant and a buffer system to initially maintain said formulation at a pH from about 11 to about 8.5 for …
