Our HexChecks products are now available on Amazon! The hexavalent chromium test swabs are an instant Cr(VI) test; "pink means positive!" They're a convenient, fast, and economical alternative to sending samples to a lab, which can take weeks and $100+ per sample. Unlike some other test methods, they also work on both dry and wet surfaces, and even liquids. Hexavalent Chromium Neutralizer chemically converts carcinogenic Cr(VI) on contact, rendering it non-hazardous. HCN is environmentally-friendly. It's non-toxic, non-staining, non-corrosive, non-abrasive, and skin-safe. Great for general cleaning, use in floor scrubbers, cleaning PPE, and even laundry! Learn more at www.hexchecks.com!

New Hexavalent Chromium Contamination Limit in California Hexavalent chromium (Cr-6) contamination is an issue impacting communities nationwide, and California's recent stricter limit for Cr-6 in drinking water underscores its importance. Figure Engineering offers the HexChecks products to the public and industry to identify and remove Cr-6 risks in industrial applications. We encourage awareness of Cr-6 contamination and its potential dangers. Collaboration is key to creating a safer future. #HexavalentChromium #Cr6 #WaterSafety #California #PublicHealth #EnvironmentalResponsibility #FigureEngineering #HexChecks Article by Dorany Pineda https://lnkd.in/eJ-_vdUe https://Hexchecks.com https://lnkd.in/eU2Tk4PE We welcome your thoughts in the comments below on Cr-6 contamination and solutions.

If you know about dangers, you have to recognize them, even if you don't like the result. No, it is not sulphur, the yellowish powder that you encounter when you remove older insulating elements. It is carcinogenic, chronically harmful to the environment and - if you are unprotected - it slowly eats you up from the inside. The so-called Cr6 rapid test from Figure Engineering which is also used by Kavarmat s.c. - The Cleansulation company and Die Chromatexperten gives you the certainty that insulation materials containing calcium have once again led to the formation of the hexavalent chromium compound calcium chromate (CaCrO4).

I was honored to be invited to the launch event for the Form 4. When I saw the capabilities of this printer, and how well it prints our Resist masking resin, I wanted one in my lab as soon as possible and placed an order. Two hours after Formlabs publicly announced the Form 4, UPS delivered one to me. Formlabs wasn’t kidding when they said they would be production ready at launch. Everything about this printer is fast, even the delivery!

Figure Engineering recently delivered the first unit of its innovative Personnel Decontamination System (PDS) to the USAF’s 27th Special Operations Maintenance Squadron (27SOMXS) at Cannon AFB, New Mexico, bringing instant, safe, UFC-compliant decontamination to the point of need anywhere in the world without the high cost of alternative large-scale construction projects. PDS is a rigid-skinned, conditioned, airlift-ready, rapid-to-set-up, and reliable turnkey transition room system that enables maintenance in austere locations and ensures continuous safe maintenance capabilities in stateside locations during permanent facility procurement.?? Partnered with the USAF Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO) as a part of the Air Force Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR), Figure Engineering recognized the need for mitigating chemical contamination of aircraft maintainers working on bases without adequate hazardous materials (HM) disposal systems in place. Long-term health effects, including cancer, on personnel involved in chemical maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) duties on military aircraft have been linked to a lack of proper clothing and skin cleaning after working with HMs. They are often found residually on base infrastructure beyond maintenance hangars as well as maintainers’ cars, homes, and beds.?? PDS was designed as a solution to principally protect the health of aircraft maintainers, their families, and other base personnel. Now, with its successful rollout with 27SOMXS in May 2023 physically demonstrating its flexibility and tactical use, it is now ready for procurement and deployment to other maintenance facilities across branches in need of UFC-compliant transition areas, located both CONUS and abroad.?? #USAirForce #ProtectingTheWarfighter #DeliveringInnovation #InnovativeAF?
