EFT is located in Huntsville, Alabama. In 2000, EFT licensed the Sandia National Laboratories decontamination foam technology and created a product named EasyDECON® DF200. EFT is focused on providing chemical and biological decontamination solutions to civilian response teams, first responders, and the US Military. EFT has further developed this technology and now provides an Indoor Air Quality product for the remediation of airborne mold spores and a methamphetamine decontaminant for clandestine meth lab clean up.
EASYDECON® DEVELOPMENT
History
EasyDECON DF100 was developed through funding provided by the U.S. Department of Energy’s and National Nuclear Security Administration’s Chemical and Biological National Security Program (CBNP). Development of the original EasyDECON DF100 formulation occurred during the period of January 1997 to July 1999. In July 1999, field testing of EasyDECON DF100 began and in October 1999, the process to commercialize the decon formulation by licensing the product to private companies was initiated. In October 2000, Sandia received funding from the DOE CBNP program to develop an enhanced version of the DF-100 product to optimize performance for the military and the civilian first responder. The result of this work is EasyDECON® 200, an enhanced version that achieves total decontamination results in 30 minutes or less.
EasyDECON DF200
EasyDECON DF200 Decontamination Solution is a blend that includes ordinary household substances such as those found in hair conditioner and laundry detergent that neutralize both chemical and biological agents in less than 30 minutes, but is environmentally friendly. Once applied, the solution draws the contamination into the liquid where the hazard is chemically altered, rendering the contamination harmless.
