PPE Gear Cleaning Detergent & Solution
Mar 18, 2010 Cleaning
Check-6 AEROSPACE detergent was developed “from-the molecule-up” for today’s public service and military. The active fireground is a dangerous environment with not only the obvious hazards, but also dangerous products of combustion contaminate PPE garments and accessories. Without rapid intervention, these chemical compounds may be introduced into our bodies through absorption during daily wearing!
Today’s high performance fabrics require unique solutions to cleaning and decontamination. Precisely engineered protective ensembles utilize a mix of woven, non-oriented filament and microporous film layers – each with very different cleaning demands. An in-depth, scientific study of textile chemistry found that a specialized detergent cleaner could result in improved cleaning power without the harmful side-effects caused by harsh industrial cleaners.
The result has been a highly efficient cleaner composed of balanced surfactants, solvents and conditioners. Check-6 AEROSPACE detergent is a stable, mid-pH cleaner which remains effective in a wide water quality range, and has been formulated to outperform all others in the low-temperature wash water suggested by NFPA guidelines.
