The danger that lurks within your PPE
NFPA studies show that washing with water and industrial detergents alone will remove only 15%-40% of the toxic carcinogens from the PPE.
Firefighting PPE is highly technical, typically consisting of three layers: the outer shell, the moisture membrane barrier, and the thermal liner.
Traditional laundry providers will hot wash with water and detergents. Although washing with water will surface clean the PPE, it will not be able to penetrate the moisture membrane barrier.
Typical industrial laundries are not aware of the complex types and levels of contamination that exist in firefighting PPE and make no claims to remove specific carcinogens in a measurable manner. What cannot be measured cannot be managed, and as such a more professional solution is required to facilitate the reduction of risks in respect of long-term latency disease for firefighters.
It is vitally important to get the correct care and maintenance through specialist decontamination processes to ensure firefighters are kept safe and maximise the lifespan of the garment.
This is why Hunter has created multiple specialist care and maintenance facilities to provide these highly sophisticated services.
Deconology® vs Water Washing
Washing fire PPE with water and industrial detergents is not enough, you can not thoroughly decontaminate fire PPE in this way.
How Deconology® works
Traditional cleaning methods using water and industrial detergents offer only modest cleaning for fire PPE. Our advanced LCO2+ decontamination method, enhanced with eco-friendly additives, penetrates beyond the outer layer of fire PPE. This innovative process effectively removes all types of carcinogens, including hazardous NFPA-specified substances, ensuring superior protection and cleanliness for your kit.
Deconology® achieves more than 99% removal of carcinogens from your fire PPE.
NFPA research cited only a 15-40% toxin removal with water-based washing.
Faster Turnaround
SAVE on PPE Pool Stock
Deconology® eliminates the need for water-based washing, allowing for significantly faster turnaround times compared to traditional laundry systems. This efficiency reduces the need for extensive pool stock, leading to substantial savings for your fire service.
Longer Lifecycle
SAVE on Fire PPE
Traditional hot water-based washing can damage PPE, leading to frequent replacements due to visible shrinkage and colour loss after just one wash. Continued washing degrades the outer fabrics, prematurely aging your PPE and diminishing its protective properties.
Deconology® extends the lifespan of firefighters’ PPE, ensuring durability and sustained protection.
"It's a sad irony that the PPE that has been developed to keep firefighters safe from acute injury on the fire ground is a major source of chronic long latency disease."
