EASYGEL PROTECT ANTI DUST SOLUTIONS
EasyGel Protect® is highly effective in controlling dust and hazardous particles associated with asbestos, lead, crystalline silica, and chromium VI.
Asbestos remains a significant public and occupational health risk. Designed specifically for high-risk environments involving asbestos, lead, and silica, these patented hydrous gel solutions trap fine and ultrafine particles at the point of impact.
EasyGel Protect® products are designed to capture and retain fine and ultrafine hazardous particles at the source. They help reduce airborne asbestos dust.

FAQ
What is EasyGel Protect® and how does it work?
EasyGel Protect® is a range of patented, pharmaceutical-grade water-based gels (99% water) and specialized accessories engineered by BCL Invent® and distributed by Derwent Industries.
- Source Capture: The gel packs fit directly between the power tool (e.g., drill bit, sabre saw blade) and the target material.
- Dust Suppression: It captures and retains fine and ultrafine hazardous dust particles right at the source before they can become airborne.
- Exposure Control: When used according to instructions, EasyGel Protect® keeps airborne asbestos fibre levels below the occupational exposure limit of 10 fibres per litre of air over an 8-hour workday.
- Hazard Coverage: Highly effective against asbestos, lead, crystalline silica, and chromium VI dust.
