Weakness of current spill management solutions

It is not enough to be equipped with an emergency response kit solely to combat health risks with formalin spills since much smaller scale accidents can occur daily. Ordinary clean-up procedures cannot completely remove the residual formalin as the surface will remain contaminated and continue to release formaldehyde gas into the environment. Even if the amount is not appreciable, it is still considered a safety concern. Furthermore, current response solutions take much longer to act on any residual formalin, leading to further safety concerns for staff who are required to deal with smaller spillages. Any system that would minimize or eliminate the amount of fixative/formalin would be desirable.


The Complete Formalin Safety Solution for Hospital Pathology and Theatre Departments

Novok® is a patented (Patent No. 102018000002334) solution that can quickly decompose formaldehyde molecules on contact, without leaving any residual behind. It allows healthcare staff to perform a deep decontamination inside their workplace whenever necessary, and can be used as in the daily cleaning procedures promote a healthier work environment and minimum exposure to the hazardous substance.

The Novokit contains both the Novok-S® + Novok-Pow® sets, all the necessary cleaning material and personal protective equipment (PPE), minimising exposure to carcinogenic vapours during the spill management procedure. Novok-Pow is a highly absorbent polymeric powder which, when applied to a formalin spill, rapidly inflates and solidifies the liquid mass. Novok-S is a liquid spray which has a high oxidizing power on formaldehyde particles. When Novok-S is sprayed on to the solid mass of Novok-Pow, they work in conjunction to rapidly eliminate formaldehyde particles in the environment and facilitate a quick and safe clean-up process.

Both Novok-S and Novok-Pow on their own can easily manage smaller spills up to 60ml without the need for any additional safety equipment. However, for any larger spillages, we recommend a full spill kit with additional safety equipment to protect staff from exposure to formalin during the clean-up process. We also supply the Novokit which contains enough Novok-S & Novok-POW to deal with spillages all the way up to six litres.
