What is an Ion Exchange Compound?

An Ion Exchange Compound is a chemical agent used to soften water by demineralization and to treat other compounds by means of a chemical substitution of positive and negative radicals of compounds (ions). Includes natural and resinous types of zeolites. Most types are capable of being regenerated.

What is an Activated Charcoal?

An Activated Charcoal (CHARCOAL,ACTIVATED) is a carbonaceous product characterized by its high absorption capacity for gases, vapors and colloidal solids and therefore extensively used in gas masks for recovery of solvent vapors or the protection against toxic gases and for the removal of color, taste, odor and other impurities from gaseous and liquid media. It is produced by the destructive distillation of vegetable matter such as wood, peat, lignite, bones, rice hulls, nut shells, etc., and subjected to high temperatures with steam and/or carbon dioxide to bring about a highly porous structure.

NATO Supply Class 6810 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 68, which is dedicated to chemicals and chemical products.

NATO Supply Class 6810 specifically focuses on chemicals. It includes a wide range of chemical substances that are used for various purposes, such as manufacturing, research, and development. These chemicals can be in different forms, including liquids, solids, gases, or mixtures.

The purpose of this classification is to provide a standardized system for categorizing chemicals within the NATO supply chain. It helps to ensure efficient procurement, storage, and distribution of chemicals among NATO member countries.

When dealing with NATO Supply Class 6810, it is important to consider safety and handling guidelines. Chemicals can be hazardous if not handled properly, so it is crucial to follow appropriate safety protocols and regulations when working with them.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 6810 plays a vital role in the management and logistics of chemicals within the NATO supply chain, ensuring that the right chemicals are available for various military and civilian applications.

FSC 6810 Chemicals - France (FR)

Includes Naphtha Solvents; Water Softening Compounds; Tanning Materials, Natural or Synthetic; Dextrines and Starches; Inedible Gelatins; Acetone; Propellant Chemicals, Bulk, not Specialized Solely for Guided Missile Use.

Excludes Medicinal Chemicals; Gases; Foundry dextrines; Radiographic and Photographic Chemicals; In Vitro Diagnostic Substances and Reagents.

Note-In general, individual nonmedicinal chemical elements and compounds are classified in Class 6810. Combinations (or mixtures) of chemical compounds, or chemicals prepared in a particular vehicle (other than water) are generally classified according to use, in classes other than 6810. For example, the chemical compound DDT, is classified in 6810, whereas DDT liquid spray, the insecticide, is classified in 6840-Pest Control Agents and Disinfectants. Similarly items of supply bearing nonchemical names such as BLEACH; INSECTICIDE, ROACH; and ANTIFREEZE are generally classified according to use, in classes other than 6810, whereas corresponding chemical compounds, such as sodium hypochlorite solution, chlordane, and ethylene glycol are classified in 6810. Medicinal chemicals are generally classified in 6505-Drugs and Biologicals; in vitro diagnostic substances and reagents are classified in 6550-In Vitro Diagnostic Substances, Reagents, Test Kits and Sets. Excluded from this group are liquid chemicals designed exclusively for use as propellant fuels and oxidizers.
