RSDL. In 1995, the Canadian Defense Research Establishment at Ottawa and Suffield developed and patented a liquid skin decontaminant for CWA exposure named RSDL. RSDL is a formulation of potassium 2,3-butanedione monoxime (as free oxime and potassium salt) in a solvent of polyethylene glycol monomethylether (MPEG) of 550 nominal molecular weight with 10% w/w water (pH 10.6) (Sabourin et al., 2001 Bide et al., 2005 Material Data Safety Sheet, 2006).
