Newguy. Interested in Cleaning or neutralization of mycotoxins

[Guest guest]

First, you are warned, I am a chemist on the loose. I read

encylopedias just for fun. I look at toxin molecule structures and

try to see how to take them apart, OR how to immobilize them

permanently. My goal is control.

Just so you have an idea... The satrin molecule from Stachybotris

contains an epoxy group. Meaning it will react with epoxy if you

stirred it in and cured it all. The toxin would be tied to the

polymer chains and not be able to leach back out. Different than

absorbtion like these toxinss do when they absorb into your phone or

car seat...than leach out over time. Epoxy should FIX a toxin in

place. Should. Theory is always nice.

Even a good epoxy never reacts completely but the unreacted " monomer "

slowly reacts with moisture in the air.

What I really want to know is " Is this useful information? " . I can't

really suggest trying it on something without having a good idea what

to try it on and how to test the execution. Keep in mind, hardware

store epoxies are full of unreacting oily fillers. They won't work

because the fillers offer an escape path.

I'll see aout pointing to a resin supplier's link that shows you the

pure epoxy I am thinking of.

Next exploration - Reactivity of toxins with cyanate vapors.

Possible? Yes. If you could neutralize toxins with superglue vapors

this would make a huge difference for folks who just want to use a

cell phone. (If it didn't fog the viewscreen).
