Sodium Level Solution with Purge Film
January 11, 2006: Due to the recent rise in concern in the nuclear industry about the high sodium content in many purge dam materials (rice paper), the Nuclear Management Company contacted COB Industries, Inc. about the Argweld® Water Soluble Purge Film. The current MSDS and Chemical Analysis Sheets for the Purge Film did not contain any data on sodium (Na) content. Due to the continuous need for purge dams in their applications, NMC decided to conduct their own chemical analysis in conjunction with another nuclear facility. The test results showed that the purge film contains 9 ppm (parts per million) sodium content. This was well within the acceptable levels outlined by the nuclear facility, and the Argweld® Water Soluble Purge Film and Adhesive was immediately approved for use in purge dam applications.
