Surface and Skin IndicatorsColorimetric Screening of Contaminants
ApplicationsSwype ® Indicators and Permea-Tec ® Sensors indicate the presence of aromatic amines (MDA, TDA, MOCA, aniline, o-Toluidine, etc.), aromatic isocyanates (MDI and TDI), aliphatic isocyanates (HDI, IPDI, etc.), hydrazine, and acids/bases.

| Test Kit | Aromatic Amines | Aromatic Isocyanates | Aliphatic Isocyanates | Aliphatic Amines | Acid/Base |
| Includes 75 Surface Swypes, 25 Skin Swypes, 20 Permea-Tec Pads, 20 oz of Cleaning/Developing Solution, 22 oz Decontamination Solution, and 4 oz D-Tam Skin Cleanser. Each kit item is also offered separately. | 769-1001 | 769-1002 | 769-1003 | 769-1005 | 769-1006 * |
* The start up test kit for Acid/Base (Cat.
No. 769-1006) does not contain the decontamination solution or skin
cleanser. In place of the solution and cleanser, 25 Surface Swypes
are included in the kit. Soap and water are sufficient to remove contamination
from acids and bases.
Surface and Skin Decontamination
When Swypes and Permea-Tec Sensors indicate chemical contamination on skin, surfaces, tools, clothing, or reusable PPE, use Decontamination and D-Tam Solutions for safe and effective removal of the contaminants. These solutions have proven to be more effective than soap and water at removing water-insoluble contaminants from skin and surfaces. And, unlike harsh degreasers, D-Tam Solutions do not dry or abrade skin, which can worsen exposure by disrupting the natural barrier properties of the skin.Decontamination Solutions
Made of biodegradable materials, these solutions can be used to effectively decontaminate workplace surfaces and minimize concern for hazardous waste disposal. In-place decontamination of process areas saves time and money and reduces the risk of dermal and inhalation exposures.

D-Tam Skin Cleanser
Formulated to remove water-insoluble contaminants such as aromatic amines, pesticides, phenol, epoxy resins, and paints/sealants from the skin, D-Tam Skin Cleanser will not disrupt or abrade the natural barrier properties of the skin. D-Tam Skin Cleanser contains no emollients, such as lanolin or aloe vera, nor does it contain pumice or harsh surfactants. D-Tam Skin Cleanser will not enhance penetration of contaminants into the skin.| D-Tam Skin Cleanser/Gallon | Cat. No. |

D-Tam Safe Solvent
Containing plant oils and food-grade emulsifiers, D-Tam Safe Solvent removes chemical contaminants such as cutting oils, grease, pesticides, epoxy resins, polyurethane paints/sealants, and isocyanates from skin, tools, and machinery. Comprised entirely of high molecular weight ingredients, D-Tam Safe Solvent will not penetrate the skin and is proven to be more effective at removing water-insoluble contaminants than soap and water.| D-Tam Safe Solvent | Cat. No. |

About..Wipe Sampling *
Wipe sampling with Swype Indicators is performed to identify failures in PPE and cleaning/decontamination programs, not to assess contamination health risks. Therefore, quantitative measurement is not required. Once a colorimetric wipe pad, such as Swypes, determines the presence of a contaminant, a filter wipe sample can be taken and sent to a laboratory for confirmation and quantitative analysis.*OSHA Technical Manual, Section II, Chapter 2,
http://www.osha.gov/
About..OSHA PPE Standard *
OSHA's Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Standard (29 CFR 1910.132)
requires employers to "assess the workplace to determine if hazards
are present, or are likely to be present, which necessitates the
use of personal protective equipment." A complete worksite analysis
requires assessment of surface contamination because workers may
be exposed to hazards directly through the skin and ingestion, and
indirectly through inhalation of contaminants re-entrained in air.
For this reason, wipe sampling is an important part of analyzing
worksites for hazardous conditions, in evaluating the effectiveness
of PPE, housekeeping, and decontamination programs, and for assessing
compliance with certain OSHA requirements.
