Industrial Surplus Inc. is the premiere x-ray film recycling company in Wichita, KS. Silver is a necessary component of any photographic film, especially xray film. Much of the world has moved to digital photography and many other technologies, so less film is produced today than ever before. This is therefore an ideal time for film recycling. There is raw silver in every scrap of film ever manufactured. Years of industrial production in Wichita, combined with our long tradition of quality dentistry, means that a professional silver recycler has a lot of raw material to choose from.
Industrial Surplus Inc. stands out from all the other recovery companies in Wichita, with our professional service and competitive payments for x-ray recycling. Although we excel at silver recovery from x-ray film, we find recycling NDT film, photographic film, or any other type of film no more difficult. It does not matter if the film has been exposed or not, and it does not matter how old the film is.
All x-ray film is made with a thin layer of silver salts. When the film is exposed to x-rays and developed, the silver salts are converted to metallic silver. This metallic silver blocks the light and makes the black areas that we see when we look at dental x-ray film. Silver is a precious natural resource, and it does not degrade or corrode. It simply waits there on the film until it is recycled. Every piece of dental x-ray film ever exposed in Wichita has a delicate arrangement of silver on it, some of it representing teeth that have been gone for decades. Even though there is not a large amount of silver in any particular X-ray picture, as a professional silver recycler we are fully certified and capable in x-ray recycling. We can recover silver from expired film, NDT film, or any other type of film. We are even experienced in silver recovery from x-ray film scraps. Our process is quick and environmentally sound, and results in the recovery of nearly 100% of the silver.
X-ray film recycling is the responsible choice for the environment and a good way to make some extra money. The choice between recovery companies in Wichita is obvious. Industrial Surplus Inc. will give you the best price possible for x-ray film recycling. Just email or call us for a convenient quote, or stop by for service while you wait.
