Hi Forum,
I just wanted to share a video I made a couple years back about processing keyboard mylar sheets. When I first started processing this type of material, I followed the process in the video below.
NOTE:
Since I have had time to revise my process over the years. I no longer shred or leach directly off the Mylar. I incinerate the mylar in a crucible first, then transfer the ashes into a a beaker and leach the ashes with nitric acid.
This method produces fumes and gases through burning, but drastically reduces waste acids and water that has to be treated later down the line. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
