An new Mercury Vapor Apparatus that solves the challenges with mercury and more!
“A superbly simple, space saving, practical and efficient device” … Dan Carrillo, owner of an 8 x 10 unit.
“I have been using your new vapour mercury box for over 100 dags, it doesn’t show any sign of lack of mercury vapour.
It’s quite a good design.’’ …Hengli Ge, owner of a 4 x 5 unit.
“The mercurizer is great! I have lots of other issues with dags, but the mercurizer is not one of them. I must say that the mercurizer and the plates are the most reliable things in my process.” … Michal Sitkiewicz, owner of a custom 5 x 7 unit.
