Its primary function is to quickly transform the liquid material into a manageable, semi-solid gel using Potassium Polyacrylate. This provides crucial safety benefits for the responder and the cleanup process:
- Minimizes Hazards: It prevents splashing, dripping, and aerosolization of infectious fluids during handling.
- Simplifies Collection: The solidified mass is much easier to scoop up using the included biohazard scoop and disposable clean-up towels.
- Ensures Compliance: It prepares the contaminated waste for secure sealing within the provided biohazard bags, facilitating compliance with OSHA standards.
Each kit contains one solidifier pack weighing 21 grams.
