August 12 Webinar - Cyanide Safety
The AESF Foundation webinar on Safety Topics will take place on Thursday, August 12 from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT. This session will cover chemical safety issues related to Electroplating and Surface Finishing.
While non-cyanide alternatives to many plating solutions exist, and in some cases are popular, this toxic ion is still present in many plating facilities conducting brass, bronze, silver, copper and cadmium plating. We will provide a 30-40 minute presentation on basic cyanide safety issues and then allow the audience to ask questions.
