Frequently Asked Questions


What is the ratio of product to liquid spill that should be used?
In an emergency situation, NanoScale always recommends putting enough product on the liquid spill to cover and contain the material. For vapour releases, we recommend utilising the entire contents of the FAST-ACT pressurised cylinder into the area as you exit.


How much product do I need to use in a chemical response emergency?
In an emergency situation, NanoScale always recommends to put enough on the liquid spill to cover and contain the material. For vapour releases, NanoScale recommends utilising the entire contents of the FAST-ACT pressurised cylinder as you exit the area.

How do I know if the chemical I treated is neutralised?
There is no visual indication of neutralisation. The FAST-ACT Immediate Response Equipment is intended for first response situations while evacuating the contaminated area. NanoScale always recommends thoroughly covering liquid spills and to utilise the entire contents of the pressurised cylinders.

How do I dispose of the treated material once a spill has occurred?
The treated residue needs to be disposed of in accordance to local, state, and federal regulations.

How safe is the powder? What if I get some on my skin or inhale it?
FAST-ACT is made up of environmental safe earth minerals. You do not need any special precautions; simply wash the material off of your skin. If inhaled, no special actions are required. A spill of FAST-ACT only poses hazards similar to other nuisance dusts.

Is the powder dangerous/corrosive/toxic/explosive?
The FAST-ACT material is made up of environmental safe earth minerals. It is not dangerous/corrosive/toxic/explosive.

What is the powder/technology?
FAST-ACT is a blend of specially made Magnesium Oxide (MgO) and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2). The unique manufacturing process yields materials with high surface area, small crystallite sizes, and high porosity which gives FAST-ACT its immediate response and broad chemical neutralization capabilities.

What is the shelf life of the immediate response equipment?
5 years.
