Chemical Spill Kit
For the other reagents, fixatives and solvents on the same bench.
It does not absorb the formaldehyde. It converts it — into a non-toxic solid mass within a few minutes, eliminating the emissions and vapours with it.
Formaldehyde is an organic compound used mainly to preserve biological tissue and anatomical specimens, and it presents a real hazard: it is classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization.
On that basis, the HAZ MED Formaldehyde Spill Kit was designed to a high professional standard for the removal of this highly volatile substance and for protection against the vapours it produces, which are toxic, carcinogenic and severely asphyxiating.
The kit neutralises formaldehyde chemically rather than absorbing it: a carefully designed chemical reaction converts the formaldehyde into a non-toxic solid mass within a few minutes and eliminates all resulting emissions and vapours.
The Formaldehyde Kit is highly specialised and is not in widespread general use. It is concentrated with forensic physicians and pathology specialists, where the substance is used heavily. It is also found in healthcare facilities, hospitals and tissue preservation units, as well as research laboratories, universities, chemical plants and any facility that relies on formalin.
The Formaldehyde Spill Kit has exceptional characteristics and advantages found in no other kit. HAZ MED has reinforced its value through the standard components it contains:
For the other reagents, fixatives and solvents on the same bench.
Where high-hazard pharmaceutical compounds are handled alongside fixatives.
Gas respirators with replaceable filters that capture formaldehyde and organic vapours.
Tell us your formalin volumes and where they are handled. We will specify the kit count and, if useful, run the response training with the team that would actually be first on scene.
