http://www.xplosafe.com/

XploSafe aims to become a leading provider of critical safety solutions for National Security and Laboratory safety. Our innovative technologies protect people that deal with explosive and unstable compounds. Our Nanometric Ink Technology is based on water-based nanoparticulate suspensions to form “inks” of a dark blue material that rapidly turn colorless or pale yellow when they come in contact with improvised explosives that contain peroxides (e.g. TATP, HMTD, hydrogen peroxide plastic explosive) or chlorates. The inks are fashioned into a variety of products including test strips (XploSens TS), sterile capillary tests (XploSens ST), explosive detection kit (XploSens KT) and in future will be incorporated as sensor spots for airport screening bags. Our Solvent Protection Technology is based on a dark blue reagent that reacts with peroxides to form a colorless compound. We envision utilizing this technology in the form of pellets (XPell) that react with and neutralize the threat of peroxides in chemical solvents. The color of the reagent provides a simple visual indication that the solvent is safe.
