Infrared detection powder

CMC Government Supply is proud to announce that they now carry Cyalume Total IR infrared detection powder. This innovative product is ideal for use in border patrol operations, crime scenes, tracking and locating, and other tactical operations. Total IR is a spreadable, infrared-emitting powder that can resemble ordinary soil. It is non-toxic and cannot be distinguished by the human eye, requiring a night vision device to view. Total IR is an undetectable way to guard restricted areas, fence lines, trespass areas, or crime scenes. The product has a slight tackiness to it, allowing it to adhere to shoes, tires, or clothing. This makes it the perfect tracking tool for border and restricted entry areas. Total IR will emit IR light from 36–48 hours after deployment, depending on environmental conditions. The best results are achieved when deployed in a low-humidity environment, making it perfect for southern and western border patrol operations. When used indoors, Total IR will produce light for up to a full week.
