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!

At Figure Engineering, we're revolutionizing rapid 3D printing with the Formlabs printers and our Resist 3D resins. Resist is a chemically resistant, strong, and durable SLA 3D printing resin with properties?similar to?non-3D?printable CPVC that enables masking in the harsh chemical and physical environments of electroplating and?blasting.? ? Formlabs SLA technology delivers exceptional precision, making it ideal for creating intricate and highly detailed masks and prototypes. Here's where Resist 3D shines:? Its robust chemical and impact resistance lets us push prototypes further, ensuring they can handle the demands of rigorous testing. This powerful combination allows us to iterate faster and deliver functional mask and prototypes that truly reflect your final design intent. #FigureEngineering #Formlabs #Resist3D #Prototyping #Engineering

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?

Hex Chrome is a major health risk that causes cancer! It's not always obvious where this toxic chemical can form and bring harm to employees and customers. Test your parts and factory. It will save lives. Figure offers quick on-site test swabs, HexChecks, that immediately let's you know if Hex Chrome is present. If it is, it needs to be neutralized immediately! HexChecks.com

The risk is borne by the operator of technical systems, not the engine or turbine manufacturer, even if the latter has provided the thermal insulation. Anyone who exposes their employees to inhalation and dermal hazards from chromates, particularly in engine or turbine technology, without providing a comprehensive package of measures is in breach of a countless number of European regulations! BOTH sources of exposure for employees must be prevented (regulated by law)! If chromates occur in the workplace, not only the inhalation risk applies, but also the dermal contact risk. Due to its classification "H350" alone - can cause cancer - calcium chromate, which is often formed through the use of insulation materials containing calcium, is considered "skin-resorptive". Even in the case of brief contact and above all in the case of unforeseeable exposure, inhalation, oral or dermal, the maximum safety level applies, i.e. mandatory substitution testing and a high need for measures! To minimise/eliminate the global risk, ask Die Chromatexperten (#TheChromateExperts), we are happy to help.
