Form-Zero Formalin Reducing Agent

Form-Zero Formalin Reducing AgentA unique powder reagent blend that neutralizes formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde in as little as 15 20 minutes. The neutralized solution can be safely discharged to sewer and waste water treatment systems with no pH adjustment or drain clogging polymers created. One bottle of Form Zero neutralizes up to 1 Gallon of 10% NBF or 4% Glutaraldehyde. To test the treated solution of formalin waste, we also offer a formaldehyde test kit with rapid and easy

A unique powder reagent blend that neutralizes formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde in as little as 15-20 minutes. The neutralized solution can be safely discharged to sewer and waste water treatment systems with no pH adjustment or drain clogging polymers created. One bottle of Form-Zero neutralizes up to 1 Gallon of 10% NBF or 4% Glutaraldehyde. To test the treated solution of formalin waste, we also offer a formaldehyde test kit with rapid and easy analysis that gives accurate results within one minute.

Neutralization Procedure

1. Collect acceptable concentrations of aldehyde waste in designated and well labeled Form-Zero™ Waste Collection Container, 1 Gallon or 2.5 Gallon (51526-Z100E or 51526-Z250E).
a. See Procedure Notes #1 and #2.
b. The use of Funnel with Tissue Screen (FUN-01) is recommended to avoid extraneous tissue debris accumulating in aldehyde waste solutions.
2. Add entire contents of one 500cc Form–Zero™ bottle to each gallon (128 fluid ounces) or each four liters of aldehyde waste.
a. Neutralization applications are for one Form–Zero™ bottle for each gallon/4 liters of aldehyde waste.
b. Partial bottles of Form–Zero™ cannot be used for smaller treatments.
3. Securely tighten lid on the collection container; agitate container to thoroughly mix powder and solution.
a. Do not add additional solution once Form–Zero™ powder has been added and mixed in collection container.
4. Continue agitation until Form–Zero™ powdered reagent blend completely dissolves.
5. Allow mixed solution to stand for 20-25 minutes for neutralization reaction to be fully complete.
a. See Procedure Note #3.
6. Test treated solution with Formaldehyde Test Kit Strips to confirm completion of neutralization reaction.
a. See Procedure Note #4.
7. Pour neutralized non-hazardous aldehyde waste product into sanitary sewer and flush with cold running tap water.
8. Rinse collection container and clean with cold tap water before reuse.
