Description

The M8 Chemical Detection Paper contains (25) M8 sheets per book, that are heat-sealed in a polyethylene envelope. Each page has three sensitive indicator dyes. When the M8 chemical paper comes into contact with liquid that contains nerve or blister agents, the indicator dyes in the paper react with the agents to produce colored dots. The color chart inside the M8 chemical agent book will help identify the agents detected.

The colors indicate the following:

  • Yellow – G-type Nerve Agents
  • Red – H-type Blister Agents
  • Dark Green – V-type Nerve Agents

 

Apply the M8 chemical agent detector paper to clothing, or some other surface, to expose it to drops of chemical or liquid splash. Place the chemical agent liquid detectors in contact with a liquid that may be contaminated. If colored spots appear, a chemical agent is present.

The M8 booklet of chemical detector papers is not for detecting chemical agents in water, aerosol agents, or vapors in the air. It is best suited for non-porous materials. M8 paper is also for detecting liquid contamination by placing the paper in contact with the suspected surface.

M8  is also part of the M256A1 Chemical Agent Detection Kit. For more information about the M8/M9 chemical agent detector paper, contact us today at +1 (805) 617 – 0987
