Toxic chemical agent decontamination emulsions their preparation and application

摘要

A calcium hypochlorite-containing emulsion having an emulsifying agent which comprises an oil soluble ethylene oxide adduct of an alkylphenol having from about 4 to about 7 moles of ethylene oxide and an oil soluble alkyl aryl sulfonate.;This emulsion is suitable for decontaminating areas, structures and articles which have been contaminated with toxic chemical agents. The emulsion can be prepared from calcium hypochlorite compounds made from a wide variety of processes and can be used over a broad range of climatic conditions. The emulsions are consistently formed very rapidly and can spread, penetrate and remain stable for sufficient amounts of time to provide complete neutralization of the contaminating agent.
