The present invention provides a composition and a method of using the composition to decontaminate surfaces or objects that have opioid contamination, and in particular to decontaminate fentanyls on surfaces using an opioid-active reagent and an opioid-effective solubilizing agent. Preferably, the opioid-active reagent is chlorine dioxide.

An improved formulation may include an enhanced ability relative to its predicates to destroy toxic threats in the form of sporulated bacteria, bacteria protected by biofilms, planktonic bacteria, fungus, viruses, chemical weapons, toxic chemicals including Fentanyl, its analogs, and a whole host of toxic industrial chemicals. The formulation may include a three part product composed of a buffered detergent chemical system, a hydrogen peroxide chemical system and an accelerator system designed to deliver activated peroxygen species when blended together.

A plasticized pyrotechnic material can be easily portioned and formed or molded into a desired shape and burns at a high temperature (>2000? C.) but does not detonate. The plasticized pyrotechnic material may preferably include a combination of about 70-99% by weight of a pyrotechnic composition and about 1-30% by weight of a plasticizer composition comprising various low to mid molecular weight polyisobutylenes. The pyrotechnic material comprises inorganic oxidizers (e.g. metal oxides, oxohalide salts, nitrates, nitrites, chlorates/perchlorates) and metal or metal oxides powders mixed intimately. The plasticizer may include a small amount of a fluoropolymer, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and may also include up to 1-2% by weight of a processed oil, such as a mineral oil or motor oil. Some embodiments may also include a biocide precursor molecule.

This disclosure relates to polymers and polymer compositions having monomer units of polyoxometalates and monomer units comprising hydroxy-terminated molecules such as branched molecules or dendrimers and uses in degradation, decontamination, and deodorization. In certain embodiments, the hydroxy-terminated branched molecules or dendrimers comprise terminal 1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl or 1,1,1-tris(hydroxyalkyl)methyl groups. In certain embodiments, the hydroxy-terminated molecule is N,N,N-tris[tris(hydroxymethyl) methyl]-1,3,5 -benzenetricarboxamide.
