VYTAC ATF is a concentrated neutralizer for acids. Formulated to eliminate gas and foam generation during the neutralization process, this product is ideal for controlling spills in confined areas, and around sensitive equipment. Recommended for use treating volatile acids such as hydrofluoric and nitric. This product contains a built-in indicator system for maximum safety and efficiency. The reaction products are environmentally safe. One liter of VYTAC ATF will neutralize approximately: 100 ml of hydrofluoric acid 70 % 100 ml of sulphuric acid 96 % 180 ml of phosphoric acid 85 % 220 ml of nitric acid 70 % 330 ml of hydrochloric acid 32 %	VYTAC FNC quickly and efficiently neutralizes formaldehyde solution spills. FNC completely immobilizes concentrated solutions ( 15 - 37% ) within 3 - 10 minutes and eliminates vapour emissions. The resulting residues are environmentally harmless and safe to handle. VYTAC FNC is minimally hazardous and very safe to use. FNC may also be used with “land farming” techniques, to neutralize ground spills. It is harmless to vegetation. FNC is the product of choice for the neutralization of waste formaldehyde solutions in hospitals and medical laboratories. ( Please consult the “institutional applications” infor-mation sheet for further information. ) One liter of VYTAC FNC will neutralize approximately : 670 ml of formaldehyde 37% 2,500 ml of formaldehyde 10% 6,000 ml of formaldehyde 4%
VYTAC FAS quickly and efficiently absorbs and immobilizes ammonia and formaldehyde solution spills. This product has been developed to be completely compatible with the VYTAC neutralization system. FAS is simple to use. Residues are easy to dispose of. Volatility is reduced, and effective reodourant controls formaldehyde vapour emissions. When used correctly, FAS is 5 to 10 times as cost effective as conventional synthetic adsorbants. FAS is non-toxic and biodegradable. Use 20 - 40 grams per litre of spilled ammonia or formaldehyde solution.	FNC LCX is a concentrated neutralizer for low concentration solutions of formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde. The proprietary blend of low toxicity oxygenated sodium salts and activators is effective at the removal of formaldehyde down to levels of less than 100 ppm. The fast dissolving powder is optimized for batch and flow through neutralization processes. 1 litre of 40,000 ppm Formaldehyde solution will be neutralized with 150 - 160 grams of VYTAC FNC LCX.
VYTAC JCN is a neutralizer complex for sodium hypochlorite solutions. This unique formulation is specially balanced to prevent the generation of hazardous by-products that can occur with standard neutralization techniques. The built in indicator system shows when the neutralization is complete, for maximum safety and economy. JCN is efficient and user friendly. One liter of pure VYTAC JCN will neutralize approximately: 1.7 litres of Sodium Hypochlorite 12% 3.4 litres of Sodium Hypochlorite 6%	Mercury is a highly toxic material. Its release into the atmosphere and the water system can have a serious negative impact. The accepted TLV for mercury vapour is .05 mg / cu. m. of air. When mercury is spilled, hazardous vapour levels can quickly develop, thus it is important to treat these spills promptly and effectively. VYTAC MIS is a unique formulation that transforms liquid mercury into an immobile solid amalgam, which almost completely suppresses the emission of mercury vapours. MIS once activated, works on contact. The solid granules can be easily and safely removed with pick up tools or vacuum devices. MIS is also effective on spills in drains and can be used to make mercury waste safer for transport. Having MIS on hand is a must for all industries and institutions using mercury. (Hospitals, electrical component manufacturers, chemical producers and distributors, educational and industrial laboratories,etc.) It will require approx. 120 -150 grams of MIS to treat 100 grams(only 8 ml) of mercury.
When mercury is spilled, it can break up into fine particles that disperse and infiltrate inaccessible area. These particles, if left untreated, continuously release mercury vapours into the air. These vapours are heavy and can build up to toxic levels. While VYTAC MIS will treat any mercury recovered, further cleanup may require the removal of equipment and furniture. Shutting down an area can be inconvenient and costly. VYTAC MVS will provide temporary protection against mercury vapours. VYTAC MVS has been specially developed to deal with highly dispersed mercury. The chemically activated particles bind to mercury surfaces and absorb mercury vapour. MVS is ideally suited to penetrate inaccessible areas, such as cracks and crevices, where mercury particles can reside. MVS is easy to apply and it effectively suppresses the generation of vapours to well below hazardous levels. It is convenient and safe for workers to use.	VYTAC VSP is a high performance vapour suppressant and adsorbent formulated for use on small spills of volatile liquid fuels and organic solvents. Properly applied, VSP significantly reduces the flammability of these materials and will allow for safe spill cleanup and handling. VSP controls vapour emissions, minimizing inhalation hazards. It can also absorb chlorinated organic solvents. VSP is non-toxic, non-abrasive and easy to apply.Typically 600 -700 grams of VYTAC VSP will adsorb 1 litre of solvent. To elevate the flash point of spills to 140 F ( 60 C ) ( for safe transport) will require 3.5 - 4.5 Kg of VSP per litre of solvent.
VYTAC GNF permits institutions to eliminate glutaraldehyde from the waste stream with a simple economical approach. Glutaraldehyde is a widely used equipment disinfectant for the health care industry. Generally available in a 2 percent solution with other additives, these products pose an environmental risk when discharged into the sewage system. GNF is also available in a ready-to-use liquid. To neutralize 1 liter of 2% glutaraldehyde solution requires 160 -200 ml of GNF solution. GNF solution is prepared by dissolving 250 grams of the GNF powder in a liter of warm water ( 110 - 120 F ).
