I wonder if this foam is the same stuff as mentioned in
this post.
To: snopercod
No. I saw that one before. That's different. That sounds good as well, but it is basically soap.
To: snopercod
I think this foam is a different technology, but little is known about it other than this brief
press release

Yes, which is why I'm posting it.
At this time all avenues, and this one sounds very feasible, need to be followed up, and quick.
If this stuff works it is a godsend.
To: SC DOC
I see on the other thread you mention hazmat teams spraying foam on things.
I didn't know that.
Any idea what it is?
To: tallhappy
Here is even another decontamination foam technology produced by
Sandia Labs

Its surfactants (like those in hair conditioner... Thanks. I saw some other stuff about the foam they are spraying and they mention this and also "surfactants".
It seems SDS (lauryl sulfate) is likely the ingredient they are talking about.
To: tallhappy
It's too simple and doe's not cost a fortune. Some govt. weenie will find some reason to kill the product. All the same the cleverness of people never ceases to amaze me.

Good find. It's oat-rageous!

Once again, oatmeal saves the day. It's not just for breakfast any more!

I used to take an oatmeal bath (it was some oatmeal like product in a can) to heal from the itching of poison ivy. Little did I know I was protecting myself against right wing terror groups that are mailing anthrax.Good to know one of us is safe!

Thanks for the link to the ADL press release. I'm going to pass a copy on to our [Transylvania] county HAZMAT people.
