SafeAir Monitoring Badges ClO2 382003 (Must Be Refridgerated) (50 PK)

The SafeAir chemical detection badge contains an indicator that changes color when exposed to the target chemical. An exclamation point is revealed on the badge when the chemical is present. SafeAir badges are easy to use and low-cost detection options.

Color change for Chlorine & Chlorine Dioxide is from off-white to gray.

The SafeAir chlorine & chlorine dioxide badge may be used for personnel or area monitoring for exposure times ranging from 15 minute to 10 hours.

Chlorine dioxide is a yellow to reddish-yellow gas with an unpleasant odor similar to chlorine and suggestive of nitric acid. Exposure may be highly irritating to the skin and mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and may cause pulmonary edema (abnormal fluid build up in the lungs). OSHA and NIOSH exposure limit for chlorine dioxide is 0.1 ppm (TWA).

Chlorine dioxide is used in the purification of water, the tanning and detanning of leather and the bleaching of cellulose, flour, leather, fats and textiles, as well as in the paper and pulp industry.

The SafeAir chlorine & chlorine dioxide badge is a monitoring system designed to indicate the presence of chlorine and/or chlorine dioxide at concentrations below the permissible exposure limit. The SafeAir chlorine & chlorine dioxide badge detects the presence of chlorine and/or chlorine dioxide by forming a color change in the shape of an exclamation mark inside the triangle. This indication is produced by a color-forming reaction, which occurs when the contaminant(s) react with a flat indicator layer. The SafeAir chlorine & chlorine dioxide badge is a dual-purpose badge. The color change may appear on the front and/or the backside of the badge depending upon the level of exposure of the two contaminants.
