POLYFORM-F
®
Polyform-F
®
is the spill control product of choice for the safe and rapid control
of harmful vapors from formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, 10% buffered formalin,
and other aldehydes including formaldehyde-phenol based embalming
solutions.
Once Polyform-F free flowing granules are applied, the harmful vapors are
eliminated in 2 to 3 minutes. The formaldehyde and other aldehyde solution are
neutralized, irreversibly polymerized and phenol vapor is subsequently reduced
in this reaction by more than 90%, leaving a non-hazardous biodegradable
polymer that is safe and simple for personnel to clean up and dispose.
Perfect for use in:
• Hospital & medical labs
• Operating rooms
• Histology & pathology labs
• Labor and delivery suites
• Specimen storage areas
• Mortuary & embalming suites
