    Chalcogenide Glass Health Issues

    Hi,

    Would anyone know if I can get Chalcogenide glass without Arsenic in it please? I'm looking into machining it for infrared lenses but don't really want arsenic ust flying about the place.

    Also, is there a site I can look up Toxicity information that's free please? I have looked- spent hours doing so but can't find any that are free. I'm specificay looking for the other constituents of chalcogenide which I beleive are selenium and other weird stuff.

    Many thanks in advance. :drowning:

    I thought you might like the one in the UK, I noticed thats what you have on your Location

    Shipping would prob. be cheaper, than from the US.
