SafeAir Phosgene Dura Detection Badges

SafeAir Phosgene Dura Detection Badges

Phosgene is a colorless, highly toxic gas with an odor resembling moldy hay or newly cut grass. It is used in industry as a precursor chemical to manufacture many everyday products, including various polymers and pharmaceuticals. Inhalation of phosgene may cause choking, coughing and painful breathing. Inhalation of high concentrations may cause delayed-onset severe pulmonary edema (abnormal fluid buildup in the lungs) or pneumonia.

SafeAir Phosgene Dura badges provide an immediate visual indication of exposure to phosgene. When phosgene gas is present, the exclamation mark in the triangular window changes color. The intensity of the color change is proportional to the exposure dose. To measure phosgene exposure dose, an optional color comparator is available for use with the badge. SafeAir Phosgene Dura badges are a simple, cost-effective, proven solution for phosgene detection.

TDI Color Comparators are available to provide higher resolution and a broader range. The comparator is used to determine phosgene exposure dose by matching the color on the badge to a color on the comparator color wheel. It measures phosgene exposure dose from 0.5 to 450 ppm-min.
