M100 SDS SORBENT DECONTAMINATION SYSTEM
NSN-4230-01-466-9095
 The M100
SDS was developed to replace the M11 immediate decontamination
equipment, which contains DS2. The M100 SDS removes gross
contamination, limits the spread of chemical agent, preserves the
integrity of Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) gear, and
minimizes casualties. The M100 SDS uses a sorbent powder
(A-200-SiC-1005S) for decontamination. The sorbent powder is an
inexpensive, non-corrosive, non-harmful absorber designed to be rubbed
onto a contaminated surface, thus removing liquid chemical warfare
agents. The M100 SDS is a single use, expendable item intended for both
combat and training purposes. Guild’s design of the M100 SDS
allows the warfighter to complete the operator’s spraydown
portion of immediate decontamination in less time, without corrosive
solvents, and without the need for water. The M100 SDS is currently
being fielded by all of the Joint Services.
