What makes the ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT better than what I currently use?
This program is a combination of TRAIN, MAINTAIN, and USE. TRAIN – the videos and literature. MAINTAIN – the ease and accessibility of having a consistent and recognizable system throughout your organization. USE – one product for all of your chemical needs (silver bullet) acids, bases, solvents, and vapors.
How much training is needed to use the ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT response products?
As a part of the ChemKlenz Chemical Hazard Safety Program, we provide ready-to-use training videos and presentations that are easy to follow and can be easily integrated into your existing safety programs/orientations. The end-user training on the immediate response equipment is simple and short (less than 30 minutes) for FAST-ACT users simple training and user manuals are provided.
Can I use ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT specifically for mercury spills?
The immediate response equipment is not intended for mercury spills. In the event ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT is used on a mercury spill in an immediate response situation, follow your standard mercury spill response procedure with the treated residue.
How do we deal with chemicals that are not specifically listed in the literature?
For chemicals which do not appear by the typical usage classes listed in the literature, a call to our technical services group will confirm the level of effectiveness of ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT on a specific chemical hazard for your knowledge base.
What is the ratio of product to liquid spill that should be used?
In an emergency situation, NanoScale always recommends putting enough product on the liquid spill to cover and contain the material. For vapor releases, we recommend utilizing the entire contents of the ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT pressurized cylinder into the area as you exit.
How much product do I need to use in a chemical response emergency?
In an emergency situation, NanoScale always recommends to put enough on the liquid spill to cover and contain the material. For vapor releases, NanoScale recommends utilizing the entire contents of the ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT pressurized cylinder as you exit the area.
How do I know if the chemical I treated is neutralized?
There is no visual indication of neutralization. The ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT Immediate Response Equipment is intended for first response situations while evacuating the contaminated area. NanoScale always recommends thoroughly covering liquid spills and to utilize the entire contents of the pressurized cylinders.
How do I dispose of the treated material once a spill has occurred?
The treated residue needs to be disposed of in accordance to local, state, and federal regulations.
How safe is the powder? What if I get some on my skin or inhale it?
ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT is made up of environmental safe earth minerals. You do not need any special precautions; simply wash the material off of your skin. If inhaled, no special actions are required. A spill of ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT only poses hazards similar to other nuisance dusts.
Is the powder dangerous/corrosive/toxic/explosive?
The ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT material is made up of environmental safe earth minerals. It is not dangerous/corrosive/toxic/explosive.
What is the powder/technology?
ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT is a blend of specially made Magnesium Oxide (MgO) and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2). The unique manufacturing process yields materials with high surface area, small crystallite sizes, and high porosity which gives ChemKlenz/FAST-ACT its immediate response and broad chemical neutralization capabilities.
What is the shelf life of the immediate response equipment?
5 years.
