M8 Chemical Agent Detector Paper

OVERVIEW:
The M8 Chemical Agent Detector Paper from TRUETECH is used to detect the presence of liquid nerve (V and G types) and blister (H-) chemical agents.


DESCRIPTION:
The M8 booklet is made up of (25) M8 sheets.  Each page has three sensitive, indicator dyes on the page.  When a sheet is brought 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 indicates the type of agent present.

There is a color chart inside the front cover of the booklet to help identify the agent detected.  The colors indicate the following:

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

USE:
M8 is used by tearing out a sheet and attaching it to clothing, or some other surface so it can be exposed to drops of chemical liquid splash.  The paper may also be placed in contact with a liquid that is suspected of contamination.  If colored spots appear, a chemical agent is present.

M8 Paper cannot be used to detect chemical agents in water, or aerosol agents in the air.  It does not detect vapors.  It is best suited for non-porous materials.

In 2009, the State of California’s FIRESCOPE Standardized Equipment List (see page 20, Section 1.1.9) listed the M8 Paper as a required item for emergency and Hazmat first responders.


PRODUCT DETAILS:
The M8 Paper is issued in a book of 25 sheets.  The sheets are perforated for easy removal.  The book is heat-sealed in a polyethylene envelope.

M8 Paper can be purchased in a box of 50 books, or by the case.  A case includes 20 boxes, of 50 books, or 1000 books total.
