Many aggressive liquid spills involve hazardous bases that require a way to render them safe for final clean up and disposal in accordance with local, state and federal regulations. KOLOR-SAFE® Base Neutralizers meet this requirement. KOLOR-SAFE® products provide a unique 3-color change during the neutralization process to indicate when a base has reached its “neutral” state. Available in liquid & dry formulas.

CAUTION: Do not use KOLOR-SAFE® Liquid or Dry Base Neutralizer on metallic nitrates, cyanides, strong oxidizers or hypochlorite (calcium or sodium) solutions as dangerous gases will be generated. All KOLOR-SAFE® Neutralizers comply with D.O.T. Regulations.

1.Evacuate employees from the spill area.

2.Personal protective equipment supplied in the kit should be worn.

3.Ventilate the contaminated area.

4.Spray the spill with Kolor-Safe® Liquid Acid Neutralizer until the spill is pink in color as indicated on the neutralizer bottle. The pink color signifies neutralization of the spill.

5.Once the spill is neutralized, sprinkle Aqualockit® onto the spill. The spill will gel for easy clean-up.

6.Use the scoop with detachable scraper to collect the gelled spill and place used pads in the temporary disposal bag.

7.Use the Hazmat pads to absorb any remaining neutralized spill and place used pads in the temporary disposal bag.

8.Dispose of all materials in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.

Kit Neutralization Capacity: 1 Gallon, Kit Sorbency Capacity: 1.5 Gallons

NOTE: Depending on the size and extent of the spill, additional equipment may be needed. The neutralization capacity depends on the type and concentration of the acid.

WARNING: Once this kit is used to pick up a spilled liquid, the sorbents used will take on the characteristics of the chemical sorbed and should be handled accordingly. CAUTION: This system is to be used by personnel trained in spill clean-up.

HANDS-IN-BAG® Atmospheric Chambers provide a convenient portable and inexpensive alternative to a “glove box”. Made from high-clarity polyethylene film which can be sealed, purged and when inflated with an appropriate inert gas allows for handling of air/moisture-sensitive chemicals as well as other hazardous and toxic materials or applications that require a dust-free or controlled-atmospheric environment.

1.Unfold and spread out the Hands In Bag® as depicted in diagram to the right.

2.Snip one purging tube opening and insert the gas line from the gas cylinder through the purging tube. Seal the purging tube to the gas line with tape.

3.Load the Hands In Bag® with whatever equipment you may need to perform the given task. If using an electrical cord, place the cord through the additional purging tube and seal the purging tube to the cord. If you use a microscope, cut a port to accommodate the optical piece. Seal with tape. Purge to eliminate room atmosphere. Use pressure regulator.

4.With Hands In Bag® loaded and purged, seal the chamber using the special tape provided. Remove protective backing from tape. Turn back tape 2cm from each end and adhere to work surface. Place the chamber opening over one-half of the width of the tape. Fold remaining half of the tape over the top half of the Hands In Bag® opening. Starting from the center, press firmly, being sure to seal the chamber completely. Tape should extend approximately 2 inches (5 cm) beyond the sides of the chamber opening.

5.Do not over-inflate Hands In Bag®. If you only inflate enough to maintain a billowed shape, it is much easier to do your work.

6.Insert hands in gloves and begin work.

7.Hands In Bag® is designed to fit most laboratory hoods or other controlled systems. Do not use for handling toxic materials except in a hood or other controlled systems to prevent and protect against exposure resulting from leakage.

8.When your work is completed, fold and store your Hands In Bag® for future use. If your Hands In Bag® is contaminated, dispose of it as required.

NOTE: All HANDS IN BAG® Atmospheric Chambers are individually packaged with two (2) sealing tape strips. Small HANDS IN BAG® has only two (2) gas or vacuum inlets. Devices for sealing the bags are included in each case. Ethylene oxide treated HANDS IN BAG® Atmospheric Chambers are also available.

CAUTION: HANDS IN BAG® are to be used in conjunction with a fume hood as they are designed to protect the contents inside the bag and not the user. Care should be taken when working with products constructed from polyethylene film due to potential tearing, breaking or punctures. Testing and monitoring of the HANDS IN BAG® for leaks before and during use is strongly recommended. NPS Corporation recommends users read and follow the instructions printed on the package prior to using any HANDS IN BAG® Atmospheric Chamber.

Q: HOW DO I USE KOLOR-LOCK® SOLIDIFIERS?

1.Wear required protective clothing and equipment when cleaning up acid spills.

2.Determine the concentration level of the acid and apply appropriate KOLOR-LOCK™ product.

3.Sprinkle KOLOR-LOCK™ on the spill. The spill will change color during neutralization. Continue to apply KOLOR-LOCK™ until the neutralized color is as it appears on the label.

4.Some mixing may be required as KOLOR-LOCK™ solidifies as it neutralizes.

5.Allow neutralized solid to cool.

6.Sweep or shovel the neutralized solid and dispose of according to local, state and federal regulations.

7.Wipe up residue with a damp, non- woven fabric cloth.

8.NOTE: Very concentrated solutions will yield solid precipitates before the color change.

Q: HOW DO I USE AQUALOCKIT® SOLIDIFIER?

1.Evacuate employees from the spill area, if necessary.

2.Wear personal protective equipment compatible with chemicals involved.

3.Ventilate the contaminated area.

4.Determine if the contaminated water, sludge, neutralized acids or bases, etc. are pH neutral (pH 6-7).

5.Sprinkle some of the AQUALOCKIT® onto the neutral spill.

6.Allow the AQUALOCKIT® to absorb the pH neutral liquid.

7.Collect the used AQUALOCKIT® by sweeping, vacuuming, shoveling, etc.

8.Place the used AQUALOCKIT® into a temporary disposal device.

9.Dispose of all used articles according to local, state, and federal regulations.

NOTE: AQUALOCKIT® Solidifier will not gel spills that are not pH neutral. It is strongly recommended that KOLOR-SAFE® Dry or Liquid Neutralizer be used to neutralize the spill prior to use of AQUALOCKIT® for maximum performance.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:All SPILFYTER® Sorbents in themselves are considered to be non-hazardous as defined by RCRA (40 CFR 261). Once used, these products will take on the characteristics of the chemical sorbed and should be disposed of accordingly. Disposal of these products (used and unused) must be in compliance with all local, state and federal regulations.

NOTE: ASTM F726-8 Standard Method of Testing Sorbent Performance of Adsorbents was used. All sizes, weights and other related information are within the manufacturer’s specifications
