Decontamination Rad-wipes with white absorbent side and bright-orange plastic backing prevent leakage of decontamination fluids to hands, gloves, and countertops. Because the decontamination solution is trapped inside the absorbent side, the wipes prevent the subsequent transmission from gloves to phones, keyboards, and pens. The orange polyethylene backing is impermeable to strong solvents, including xylene and xylene substitutes acetone, ketones, alcohols, and formalin. The wipes are cost-effective because only one is used versus several pieces of gauze or tissues, and gloves are changed less frequently. Of the three thicknesses available on the market, these 8"x9" wipes are the most absorbent. Absorbing up to 25 times its weight.
