- Highly effective, safe, and versatile product for managing significant liquid spills and waste
- Particularly those involving sensitive chemicals or biohazardous materials where a chlorine-free solution is necessary
Audience:
-
Widely used in professional settings, including:
-
Hospitals:
- Especially in operating rooms, emergency departments, laboratories, and patient care units
- Laboratories:
- Clinical labs, research labs, pathology labs for managing waste and spills
- Correctional Facilities:
- For various bodily fluid spills
- Blood Banks / Donation Centers):
- For managing large blood spills
- Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities:
- Where accidents involving bodily fluids may occur
- Maintenance Departments:
- For cleaning up various spills across large facilities
Product Description:
-
Fluid Solidifier:
- This is a superabsorbent polymer powder designed to quickly absorb and solidify liquid spills, transforming them into a semi-solid, gel-like mass
-
Chlorine-Free:
-
Because it's chlorine-free, Green-Z is safe for use on a wider range of spills in addition to blood and body fluids
-
Chemotherapy drugs:
- Many chemotherapy agents are sensitive to chlorine, so a chlorine-free solidifier is essential
-
Glutaraldehyde spills:
- Another chemical where chlorine-free cleanup is often preferred
-
Mercury spills:
- While not directly used to neutralize mercury, it helps to contain liquid mercury and prevent its spread during cleanup
-
Blood and body fluids:
- Highly effective for these, preventing splashing and aerosolization
-
Bottle:
- Features a thin, narrow tip (often called a "needle nose" or "porthole tip")
- Design is specifically created to fit into the small openings of suction canisters, urology bags, kick buckets, and other liquid waste containers
- Allows for precise and controlled dispensing of the solidifier directly into the fluid, minimizing mess and splashback
-
Absorption Capacity:
- 16 oz Bottle can solidify a large volume of liquid, typically up to 22,000cc of water-based fluids (like blood, urine, or saline)
Uses and Benefits:
-
Large-Scale Spill Control:
- Ideal for managing very large spills of blood and other body fluids in settings with high volumes or frequent occurrences
-
Reduces Exposure Risks:
- By rapidly solidifying liquids, it minimizes splashing, spraying, and aerosolization of potentially infectious materials
- Significantly reducing the risk of exposure to healthcare workers and others during cleanup
-
Deodorizes Odors:
- The built-in chlorine effectively combats unpleasant odors, improving the environment during and after a spill cleanup
-
Improved Safety and Compliance:
- Contributes to a safer environment and helps facilities comply with OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (1910.1030) and DOT regulations
-
Cost-Effective:
- Buying in a 50 lb. drum is a cost-effective solution for facilities with ongoing needs for spill control solidifier
-
Easy to Use:
- Simply sprinkle the powder evenly over the spill, allow time for solidification, then scoop up the gelled mass for disposal
