Overview
M2DCON’s DCON Mitt uses microfiber construction paired with a barrier laminate to safely remove contaminants during decontamination procedures.
It’s built for use on skin, gear, PPE, optics, and other sensitive equipment where a gentle but effective decon tool is needed.

Physical removal, not neutralization
The DCON Mitt is meant for immediate physical removal of CBRN hazards: the contaminant is wiped up and held in the fibers rather than reacted on the surface. M2DCON’s datasheet notes that microfiber can absorb 7 to 8 times its weight in liquid. Used dry or slightly moistened with water, the fiber splits build an attractive charge that traps small solid particles and germs. That helps reduce cross contamination and lowers the chance of resuspending a contaminant as an airborne hazard.
The testing behind microfiber
- Microfiber has been tested for physical removal of chemical warfare agent liquids by the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center (formerly ECBC) and the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL).
- University and national laboratories have found microfiber effective for removing biological pathogens from surfaces when used together with liquid biocidal decontaminants.
Where teams use it
Because the material is skin-safe and non-reactive, the mitt can be used on people as well as equipment: skin, individual protective equipment, weapons, electronics and optics. The barrier laminate keeps the contaminant away from the wearer’s gloved hand. M2DCON makes the mitt in America from 100% US-made materials.
Frequently asked questions
What is a decon mitt used for?
A decon mitt like the M2DCON DCON Mitt is worn over a gloved hand to physically wipe contaminants off a person or object. Its microfiber face absorbs liquids and traps particles, while a barrier laminate keeps the contaminant from reaching the wearer's glove. It is used on skin, protective equipment, weapons and sensitive gear such as electronics and optics.
Can the DCON Mitt be used with a liquid decontaminant?
It can be used dry or slightly moistened with water. For biological hazards, M2DCON points to laboratory testing in which microfiber removed pathogens from surfaces effectively when paired with a liquid biocidal decontaminant. The mitt material itself is non-reactive, so it removes contamination rather than neutralizing it.

Description
M2DCON
The DCON Mitt is an innovative solution for physical contaminant removal, designed by M2DCON to enhance safety, effectiveness, and usability in decontamination operations. Engineered from high-performance microfiber paired with a protective barrier laminate, the mitt safeguards the wearer’s gloved hands while offering superior cleaning power.
Constructed from a blend of polyester and polyamide fibers, the microfiber material is split into ultra-fine strands—many times smaller than a human hair—allowing the DCON Mitt to conform to complex surfaces, reach into cracks and crevices, and absorb liquids and particulates more effectively than traditional materials like cotton or paper. Its skin-safe, non-reactive composition makes it suitable for use on human skin, Individual Protective Equipment (IPE), firearms, electronics, optics, and other sensitive gear without risk of abrasion or chemical reactivity.
The barrier laminate backing prevents contaminant transfer to the user’s gloves, making it an ideal solution for both military and emergency response applications where controlled contact and contamination prevention are critical.
