By: First Line Technology
Next Generation Decon isn’t coming, it’s here.
On October 14, more than 140 hazmat professionals, emergency responders, and defense specialists tuned in for First Line Technology’s webinar on hybrid decontamination: a breakthrough method combining FiberTect® dry wipes with chemical neutralizers.
Frank Roberts, Marine Corps veteran and CBIRF alum, took us deep into the evolution of modern decon from the trenches of Gulf War-era methods to today’s fast, flexible, and field-ready solutions. Think cold-weather dry decon, AI-powered threat modeling, and drone-enabled response. The future isn’t theoretical, it’s operational.
Dr. Seshadri Ramkumar inventor of FiberTect, captured it all in a must-read article that dives into the science, the collaboration, and the real-world impact.
FiberTect’s patented design has been tested by the U.S. Army and DOE labs for everything from mustard gas to fentanyl. It’s not just effective, it’s redefining what’s possible in personnel and equipment protection.
