jadesource Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Guys Ive tried to stay away from the toxic chemicals in pyro but barium carb. and barium sulfate do not make perfect greens. on passfire the only anwser i recieved was they just spray there gear off with water . I want to use barium nitrate but I also want to clean my gear to the point of not dragging toxic star rollers anf tables around for the rest of there usefull days.Can you help with this clean up dilema maybe mumbles or some of the more knowledgable chemistry guys could give me some ideas. Thank Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Sodium, Potassium, or Magnesium sulfate would be your best bet. All are soluble in water and easily available. The first two as fertilizers, and the latter of course as epsom salts. Make a solution of the salt of choice and spray it on your tools, star roller, tables, whatever you need. It will form the insoluble and relativly non-toxic barium sulfate. Afterwards just hose down the star roller barrel/tire and probably wipe the table and tools off and you will be good to go. Use soap and water on the table and tools if you so desire. It will help get rid of the other things like charoal and sulfur and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacrima97 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Forming Barium sulfate would be a good idea. It cleans really well, and doesn't gunk up or anything like some other chemicals would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sidious Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Are there any special cleaning measures after working with antimony trisulfide? I know it's not as toxic as soluble barium salts, but it's still one of the more toxic chemicals we use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 You know what, I don't know how to break it down into a less hazardous substance. It's insoluble in water, and pretty heavy, so the chances of it floating in the air are minimal. I would just wipe it down with a wetted rag, and toss said rag away.
