Health Risks from Respirable Crystalline Silica in the Laboratory
Respirable crystalline silica is a health hazard in the lab, and silicosis has been a concern for jewelry casters for many years. With decades of proven performance, R&R has minimized the risk of exposure for technicians through its packaging.
BANDUST™ Technology by R&R
When combined with our investment formulations, our patented BANDUST™ technology significantly reduces exposure to respirable quartz and cristobalite! Through a unique manufacturing process exclusive to R&R, we can bond these typically respirable particles into the dry investment powder formulations you know and trust!
Impact of BANDUST™ Technology on the Casting Environment
BANDUST™ technology has a substantial impact on the casting environment, providing immeasurable benefits to the overall health and safety of casters.
Test Results from Third-Party Industrial Hygienists
Based on air sample test results from third-party industrial hygienists, BANDUST™ technology significantly reduces total respirable dust—by up to 97% compared to R&R’s standard jewelry investment and up to 99% when compared to other jewelry labs.
Additional Testing During the Cooling Phase
Additional respirable dust tests were conducted during the cooling phase of the casting cycle. Industrial hygienists reported no measurable respirable dust from BANDUST™ technology flasks.
Feedback from Casters Using BANDUST™ Technology Products
Casters using BANDUST™ technology products reported significantly less dust during production. They also noticed the added benefit of improved overall cleanliness. Casting quality was maintained with excellent final results, without requiring any changes to the investment phase process.
