Mercury Magnet Amalgamation Spill Powder is a safe and effective method to suppress mercury vapours and amalgamate hazardous mercury-bearing spills. Designed for a quick response to leaks, spills or infectious wastes, Mercury Magnet powder is the ideal solution for the proper decontamination and clean-up of mercury spills. Engineered for a quick response, Mercury Magnet is environmentally friendly, allowing for the treated mercury to be properly recycled.
In the event of a “spill”, the fumes released by mercury can go undetected for long periods of time creating serious health hazards. In fact, mercury can be found in many household items such as fluorescent bulbs (CFLs), non-electric thermostat switches, and thermometers – even LCD screens.
The Mercury Magnet powder reacts with liquid mercury to form a solidified amalgam that not only brings the mercury vapour pressure below harmful levels, but also allows for easy pick up using a common magnet.
