Reclaim Chemistry price increase and supply issues
« on: August 01, 2011, 03:15:30 PM »
A little bird told me iodine prices had a 300% jump in price due to supply/demand issues. Since I'm told this is a major component in Sodium Metaperiodate which is the primary chemical component in virtually all reclaim chemistries expect a jump in those products. My supplier told me they currently do not have enough to fill existing orders.

are we talking ink or emulsion degrader? Just so I know what to stock up on . . .
Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

CCI Gemzyne. I don't believe it is metaperiodate based.

It could also be Periodic Acid... Sodium Metaperiodate is usually the crystal form if I am not mistaken......

The name makes me think of enzymes, but I could be incorrect.

Actually you are correct. Periodate salt per the MSDS.
