Versitol

PPE & Equipment Cleaning Concentrate

Versitol is a highly concentrated, professional-grade cleaning concentrate formulated to support NFPA–recommended cleaning and decontamination practices for firefighter protective ensembles, ensemble elements, and station equipment. Its advanced blend of non-ionic and anionic surfactants provides effective soil removal while remaining safe for sensitive PPE materials and components when used as directed.

Designed to address fireground contaminants such as oils, grease, soot, smoke residue, and particulate matter, Versitol emulsifies and suspends soils for thorough rinsing—helping reduce contaminant redeposition and cross-contamination. Active chelating agents enhance performance in hard water and assist in mineral deposit removal, while the non-corrosive formulation protects fabrics, plastics, metals, and delicate equipment.
