FiberTect dry decontamination solution is a three layer, inert, flexible, drape-able, non-woven composite substrate for absorbing and adsorbing chemical warfare agents (CWA), toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), and pesticides. FiberTect is self-contained and packaged for easy use, storage, and transport. Materials used in the outside layers may vary to provide both absorption and adsorption properties and multiple functional uses. Available in active formula or for training, and depending on form FiberTect is available in poly or unbleached raw cotton.

 

FiberTect is available in 4 forms: Wipe, Mitt, Roll, Shuffle Pit. Shuffle Pit Berm is also available and helps to contain contaminants (sold separately).

 

FiberTect is licensed under US Patent 7,516,525.

 

FiberTect is sourced and made in the USA.

  • Wipe away bulk chemicals
  • Retains toxic vapors
  • Adsorb and absorb toxic materials
  • 15-year shelf life
  • Activated carbon non-woven fabric
  • Devoid of loose particles
  • Effective dry decon of persons, weapons, sensitive equipment, and PPE
  • Effective removal of acids and bases

 

FiberTect is available in different forms, including wipes, continuous roll, shuffle pits, or a mitt that can be worn over gloves. Additionally, it can be produced with various final densities, thicknesses, and tensile strengths depending on customer specification and requirements.

 

FiberTect Wipes FiberTect Wipes are a convenient and versatile piece of cut cloth that comes individually wrapped and can be used in a variety of individual dry decon situations.
FiberTect Continuous Rolls The FiberTect Continuous Roll is ideal for instances in which the amount of dry decon needed is not known. The FiberTect Continuous Roll comes perforated into (20) 12″ x 12″ sheets.
FiberTect Shuffle Pits FiberTect Shuffle Pits function as a decon pool with the capability of dry decontamination to capture and reduce the spread of contaminants. Shuffle Pits allow for decon within a 4’ x 4’ footprint.
FiberTect Mitts The FiberTect Mitt allows for easy clean-up of bulk chemicals on people, weapons, and sensitive equipment. FiberTect Mits can be used over gloves.

FiberTect is comprised of three layers of polyester material: top, bottom, and a center layer of fibrous activated carbon that is needle punched into a composite fabric. The top and bottom layers provide structural coherence, improving mechanical strength and abrasion resistance. FiberTect is non-particulate and is devoid of loose particles. It is effective in decontaminating personnel and sensitive parts of military equipment.

 

The development of FiberTect and it’s testing was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and managed by the Technical Support Working Group, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations/Low Intensity Conflict, U.S. Department of Defense. Product testing has been conducted by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories (LLNL).

 

FiberTect proved superior in all testing results against 30 comparable products for decontaminating against toxic chemical agents, TICs, and TIMs. Challenge chemicals and results include:

 

Sulfur Mustard Outperformed all 30 other sorbents for absorptive capacities directly from skin (95% removal) and adsorptive capacities, including current military M291 sorbent.
Methylparathion (organophosphate) Outperformed all sorbents for absorptive and adsorptive capacities.
70% Nitric Acid, 70% Sulfuric Acid, 10% Sodium Hypochlorite, and P-Zylene No material degradation.
Water and P-Xylene Outperformed other sorbents for both hydrophilic and hydrophobic absorptive capacities.
