Information from the company's press release of possible interest to the CH&S readership... XploSafe Launches XPell - Ground-Breaking Peroxides Prevention Product Stillwater, Ok, July 25, 2010 =E2=80=93 XploSafe LLC today announced the launch of XPell, a novel product that indicates and prevents the formation of peroxides in organic solvents. XPell takes away the need for periodic testing and disposal of peroxide forming solvents and provides: Improved laboratory safety and prevention of peroxide related explosions/accidents Increased efficiency by increasing the usable life of solvents ... XPell is inert to the solvents and is a simple, effective and inexpensive solution for university chemistry labs, analytical labs, pharmaceutical labs, manufacturers, smaller chemistry labs and hazardous waste disposal companies. It is an inorganic material that is insoluble in organic solvents and therefore causes no contamination. The pellets are dark blue and will change to yellow or white when exhausted so there is always a clear indication of solvent safety. If pellets do change color due to solvent autoxidation, the addition of more XPell will return the solvent to a safe condition. XPell is available in a convenient bottle containing 80 grams (sufficient for treating up to 8 L of solvent) for $45.00/bottle. For more information visit http://www.xplosafe.com
