OMNI-KAP™ Liquid Medical Waste Disposal Powder

FUNCTION:

A safe and effective method to neutralize and solidify hazardous medical wastes. OMNI-KAP™ SHARPS SOLIDIFICATION KIT is based on patented OMNI solidification technology backed by over ten years of field use. A kit consists of 4 one gallon plastic containers of special OMNI-KAP™ powder which when mixed with water will rapidly set encapsulating any medical waste that have been added. Each container makes approximately one gallon of rock like solid when set. Ideal for needles, syringes, vials etc,

A convenient medical waste kit, it is designed for eliminating unnecessary chemical spills and potentially hazardous aerosolization and splashing of the infectious collected waste fluids. Eliminates potential spilling while transporting body fluids. Promotes workplace safety by eliminating splashing and aerosoling of potentially infectious liquid waste Available in bulk form for larger scale waste solidification.

There appears to be a great deal of confusion concerning the terms “solidification” and “fixation”. Solidification is often used to describe thickening of the type used to meet D.O.T. requirements for hazardous waste transportation. This is essentially meeting the “No Free Liquid” standard using the Paint Filter Test. This is also a requirement for land burial of nonhazardous wastes. For purposes of review, the latter definition of Solidification is the one used. Another term used to describe this process is that of Chemisorption. Fixation is a rather complex chemical reaction that results in a pollutant being rendered most insoluble. The requirements for fixation are to meet the EPA TCLP extraction test.

OMNI-KAP™ exceeds the newest DOT medical waste disposal regulation under HM-226, Hazardous Materials: Revision to Standards for Infectious Substances. It is within the bylaws of this regulation that state infectious materials being transported off site for treatment and disposal in either non-bulk or bulk containers be packaged in accordance with the agency’s Packing Group II performance standards. Any infectious materials must be packed within red bags with added absorbent materials to collect and retain all liquids during transport. OMNI-KAP™ solidifies in a cementatious matrix, not merely absorbs the fluids, making for safer handling of the wastes.

EFFECTIVELY SOLIDIFIES:

OMNI-KAP™ is a dry powder, single package absorbent/solidifier that cementatiously solidify medical wastes such as sharps, needles, broken glass. No special tools or equipment is needed. Solidify and neutralize medical wastes in one step - cleanup is fast and the resulting waste material is safe for disposal. All free water is chemically bound, NOT just gelled as in many competitive products. The final reaction product is a dry semi-loose powder in appearance.

NOTE: For maximum effectiveness in cases of dried residue, OMNI-KAP™ powder will need added water to react cementatious powders. Use sprayer bottle to apply.
