UK -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/19/2004 -- Kidde Fire Fighting,
a business unit of Kidde plc -- the global fire and
safety group (LSE: KID) has entered into a worldwide
manufacturing, marketing and distribution agreement
for All-Clear™ Chemical/Biological Decontamination
Foam with US Global Nanospace, Inc. (OTC BB: USGA).
Under
the terms of the license agreement, Kidde has purchased
the worldwide rights to manufacture, market and distribute
All-Clear to Kidde's worldwide distribution network
for which US Global Nanospace will receive a license
fee and percentage of All-Clear sales. Kidde has also

from USGN.
Commenting
on the agreement, Doug Vaday -- Managing Director
of the Industrial Fire Protection Division of Kidde,
said: "Adding All-Clear to our foam products
range allows us to offer an effective and non-corrosive
chemical and biological decontamination solution to
our customers. We see immediate synergies in integrating
All-Clear with other Kidde foam products, thereby
significantly enhancing our presence in the worldwide
chemical and biological threat decontamination market.
All-Clear was designed for military decontamination
applications, as well as for use by fire/emergency
personnel, law enforcement agencies or other first
responders to terrorist, HAZMAT or other emergency
incidents and, as such, is in-line with Kidde's strategy
to offer our customers a broad range of fire and safety
solutions."
All-Clear
addresses the need to decontaminate military, industrial
and agricultural areas compromised by the threat of
a Chemical or Biological (CB) agent safely and rapidly
with an effective, non-corrosive, non-oxidizing, stable
and economical decontamination solution. All-Clear
is non-toxic, biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
All-Clear is the only specially formulated and patented
solution available worldwide that is both enzyme and
biocide foam based, making it highly effective against
various chemical and biological threats such as Sarin
or Anthrax. All-Clear foam contains enzymes capable
of selectively destroying chemical nerve agents and
a biocide mixture designed to sanitize biological
agents. As All-Clear is foam based, it can be deployed
very quickly and efficiently.
The
worldwide market for decontamination solutions is
emerging and is expected to become significant as
government agencies and organizations are tasked with
the necessity for contingency planning and preparedness
for Chemical or Biological attack.
