First Line Technology Dahlgren Decon

Dahlgren Decon™ is a 3-component decontamination solution that can quickly decontaminate most chemical warfare agents and toxic materials.  The 3 components are mixed by the end user then delivered by a spray applicator of choice. Active and training (inert) formulas available. First choose formula, then configuration. Minimum order quantities may apply.

Quantity

Dahlgren Decon™ is made and sourced in the USA, and is a three-component decontamination solution that can quickly decontaminate most chemical warfare agents, toxic materials, and other emerging threats.  In testing conducted by the U.S. Department of Defense and other federal agencies, Dahlgren Decon has been found to be the most effective and fastest reacting decontaminant on the market.

 

Dahlgren Decon is supplied as three individual components, mixed by the end user, and then loaded into any spray applicator of choice. Applicators can be supplied as part of a kit, when desired. Dahlgren Decon can be ordered in an inert formulation for training purposes. To learn more about the inert formula, scroll to the bottom of this page.

 

Dahlgren Decon comes in a range of configurations (order amounts). All 200 mL and 22 Oz Dahlgren Decon configurations come with a reusable and volume-appropriate beaker and stir rod to aid the end user in properly mixing the solution before applying.

PART A

Dahlgren Decon Part A RTU is a ready-to-use liquid micro-emulsion surfactant carefully formulated to lower surface tension in order for contaminants to be easily wiped off or rinsed away. Part A is specifically designed to bind and coat threats to prevent potentially toxic off-gassing and enhances the ability for PAA to chemically destroy harmful contaminants.

PART B1

Dahlgren Decon Part B1 works as the pH buffer in Dahlgren Decon. This component allows Dahlgren Decon to yield a neutral pH, and therefore makes full-strength Dahlgren Decon non-corrosive and safe to use on sensitive equipment and critical infrastructure after properly mixing.

PART B2

Dahlgren Decon Part B2 holds the active ingredient for proper decontamination; fine-powdered Peracetic Acid (PAA). PAA effectively neutralizes most contaminants in a matter of minutes and leaves behind no toxic by-products.

BEAKER + STIR ROD

All 200 mL and 22 Oz Dahlgren Decon configurations come with a reusable and volume-appropriate beaker and stir rod to aid the end user in properly mixing the solution before applying it to the threat at hand.

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.

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.

 

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 along 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?
No. 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.

 

I opened the B1 and B2 packets to see what was inside. Can I reseal fo later use?
No. Once the B1 or B2 packets are opened they need to be used or discarded

About the Inert Training Formula

Dahlgren Decon Inert Training Formula

The inert formulation of Dahlgren Decon is a low cost replica of the active formulation. It is intended for training scenarios and allows end users to practice their decon techniques. The inert formulation of Dahlgren Decon resembles the active formulation in consistency, color, and smell. However, it does not contain the decontamination properties of the active formulation of Dahlgren Decon.
