AmDi
Posted: Mon Mar 25, 2013 8:33 am
I am pretty careful when it comes to dealing with AmDi. I know there is risk involved with Cr6 and have a pretty strict regement in dealing with it.
I run a hepa filter pretty often in the lab. I wipe down surfaces with MS and try to keep that stuff inside my lab.
My excess AmDi is placed in a milk carton in which sits on a top shelf. I notice that when I leave it out in goes from orange to brown. I am guessing it is converting from Cr6 to Cr3 which is a bit less harmful.
My question is if a small piece of AmDi did get loose and is on a surface, and that surface is exposed to light will it convert to Cr3 or does it need something to cross link with?
I was almost thinking of adding a flood light as part of the cleaning process Not just for that but also unexposed coated plates that need to be reprocessed and those exposed plates that have thicker film and has a touch of orange.
