Silver-Lume silver process

Our supplier has notified us that the "B" brightener for the original Hanson Van Winkle "Silverlume" process will no longer be available. Is there another manufacturer or supplier for this process?

Since they no longer want to make this stuff, maybe you should ask them for the formula? Maybe it is something you don't have to react.

I guess they won't be selling as much Silverlume "A" as they used to, huh?

Dear Tom , ( Both of you )

Tom "P" your sense of humour makes working on this page a delight.

Tom "D" maybe you should ask them for their new process , if it is the successor to HVW -M & M&T their new process from Germany is a beauty ! maybe it's more expensive I really don't know but it is at least worth the ask.

Does anyone know a way to get Silver Lume "A", even just a few pounds of it? Or is anyone willing to trade some Silver Lume "B" for some "A"? Has anyone come up with a silver brightener process for barrel application to replace the Silver Lume process?

Q. Hello, my name is Jason I run a transfer station; an old brown glass bottle of Silverlume Brightner B was dropped off last night. I cannot find any information about it. I was wondering if you guys could tell me the correct way to dispose of it. I'm not sure if its hazardous waste or not. Thank you for any feedback you can give.
