Form-Zero

Form-Zero

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 (FZ-100E or FZ-250E).
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 ABS Formaldehyde Test Kit Strips (ABS-91328) 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.
