Contamination Control Strippable (CC
Strip) is used to decon surfaces contaminated with plutonium and
uranium. CC Strip is water-based non-toxic, non-hazardous and can be
applied by spraying or brushing. Decon factors of 10 have been achieved
using CC Strip in plutonium glove boxes. Loose contamination is
encapsulated in the CC Strip and removed when it is peeled off.
CC Strip can be applied over CC Wet. CC Strip causes the CC Wet to be
rehydrated and absorbed by the CC Strip. The contamination originally
captured by the CC Wet is now removable with the CC Strip. This process
is being used at DOE sites and has proven to be highly effective in
first, controlling or eliminating airborne contamination (DAC) then
reducing contamination levels with the use of CC Strip.
