Fire Soaps - HazSoak™

Haz Soak™ is a high-performance decontamination soak solution engineered to treat structural bunker gear exposed to heavy contamination, particularly during hazmat and petroleum-based incidents. Its specialized formula has demonstrated a 96 % success rate in removing harsh contaminants from outer shells in controlled facility testing.

Note: Haz Soak™ is designed for outer shell use only. It should not be used on moisture barriers or thermal liners.

Key Features & Benefits

• Clinically Tested Decon Performance — Proven to safely remove deeply embedded petroleum-based and chemical residues.

• Specialty Use for Harsh Exposures — Formulated for emergency calls involving fuel spills, chemical exposure, or similar contamination scenarios.

• Complement to Regular Gear Washes — After soaking, gear is then processed in a standard extractor using Fire Wash™ detergents for complete cleaning.

• Concentrated Formula — Requires dilution; makes multiple gear sets per batch, minimizing cost per use.

Usage Instructions

1. Dilution
    • Mix 1 gallon of Haz Soak™ concentrate with 12 gallons of warm water (≤ 105 °F / 40 °C). This is sufficient for two full sets of gear.
    • For a single set, use ½ gallon concentrate + 6 gallons warm water.

2. Soaking Period
    • Soak for 4 to 12 hours depending on contamination severity.
    • In extreme cases, repeat soaking may be required.

3. Post-Soak Processing
    • Gently brush areas using a soft nylon brush as needed.
    • Transfer gear to extractor and wash with Fire Wash™ detergent.
    • Repeat soaking if residual contamination remains.
