Description: Condition: New, sealed in package. Not intended for use in detecting chemical agents as item is expired. Authentic United States Military Issued. NSN 6665-01-049-8982 M9 MIL-B-131G Roll of 15 feet paper with adhesive backing. Vintage 80s US military standard issue paper, chemical agent detector. The M9 detector paper detects the presence of liquid chemical agent, but does not identify either the specific agent or the type of agent encountered. Each soldier carries one 30-feet long and 2-inch wide roll of M9 paper with adhesive backing to facilitate wrapping a strip of the paper around a sleeve and a trouser leg of the BDO. (Because the indicator dye in the paper is a potential carcinogen, gloves should be worn during application, and the paper should not contact the skin.) The paper is a dull, off-white or cream color in the absence of liquid agent but contains an indicator chemical that, when dissolved in liquid agent, turns a reddish color. When the soldier sees this color change, he must immediately mask, alert others, and if there is any possibility of skin exposure, proceed immediately with skin decontamination. The M9 paper will detect nerve agent or blister agent droplets as small as 100 microns in diameter. False positive may be seen if the paper is exposed to antifreeze, liquid insecticide, or petroleum products. The soldier's attention to possible interfering substances on the battlefield can help in the later interpretation of a color change in the M9 paper in the absence of confirmation tests for agents. This does not relieve him of the obligation to mask and take other appropriate measures immediately after seeing a color change in the detector paper.
