A ONE PART, SOLIDS CONTAINING DECONTAMINATION BLEND COMPOSITION

摘要

A one part, solids containing decontamination blend composition comprises a solid acetyl donor coated with a compound that protects it from hydrolysi s, a peroxygen source, optionally a catalyst, optionally a surfactant, and o ptionally a buffer. The decontamination blend composition is generally in a dry powder, particle, etc form or in a tablet, pill, etc form and is complet e in and of itself in that no additional compounds are required prior to use and is readily distributed as a one package system. Upon the addition of wa ter, a peroxygen compound such as hydrogen peroxide is formed, and peracetic acid is generated under alkaline conditions. The decontamination blend comp osition is particularly suitable for oxidizing various chemical and biologic al compounds thereby eradicating the same in situ as on surfaces, clothes, a rticles, and the like. Representative contaminants include mustard gas, nerv e gas, bacterial toxins, anthrax, bird flu, and the like.
