Description
FAST-ACT is a unique blend of common metal oxides (MgO + TiO₂) engineered with a special morphology that gives it powerful nanomaterial properties. With a final particle size of approximately 5μm, its production process creates an altered, non-toxic molecular structure with significantly increased porosity and surface area. This makes FAST-ACT highly effective for safety and containment applications, especially when used in combination with a pressurised cylinder for deployment.
The specially designed pressurised cylinder allows FAST-ACT to be safely stored and deployed on demand in emergency situations. Whether used for chemical neutralisation, hazardous spill control, or rapid response scenarios, this system ensures reliable performance and safe handling in critical environments. FAST-ACT paired with a pressurised cylinder offers a cutting-edge solution for modern safety needs.
How Does It Work?
Nanomaterials naturally tend to clump together, but FAST-ACT is engineered differently. Its molecular structure is intentionally incomplete, which allows it to bind to reactive substances using a process called ionic bonding. When applied, FAST-ACT attracts ions from the targeted hazardous chemical to complete its own structure. This process, known as destructive adsorption, neutralizes a wide range of dangerous liquids and vapors.
FAST-ACT’s unique structure has a very large surface area with many corners and edges filled with unsaturated ions, making it highly effective in binding and destroying hazardous compounds. The result is not just containment — FAST-ACT chemically transforms the hazard into a non-toxic, neutralized by-product. For example, when reacting with hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), the residue produced is magnesium sulfide (MgS), a harmless compound.
