In my country this has been true for a long time. You cant get any decent cleaner from shops, even specialty wares, the strongest industrial scale cleaners are something like 1-3% NaOH and 0.5-1% NH4OH. Go ahead and try to wash something for example, dirty floors, walls and shit, you gonna rub your hands to ascbesses. I'd so like to derust parts with citric acid(BAD BOMB MAKING CHEM THINK OF KIDS), use ammonia and lye for any general cleaning(oh wow, theyre so dangerous chemicals), clean mineral walls with HCl, use real fertilizers for my plants other than calcinated shit that may only kill them, etc.

I can find no chemical that wouldn've been cut with some totally random shit. Even de-icers are cut with something that has zero de-icing properties. Sick fuck.

testamento, I'd like to respectfully request that you refrain from vulgar language in your posts. Its presence means that younger children cannot use the forum, and it's not necessary for your message. Thanks.



Any other SF Bay chemists?

The vulgar language is the only thing I've been able to comprehend in his posts. I'd like to respectfully request that he refrain from posting altogether. Think of the children!

"Also, I believe (in a marketers opinion) organic could is often defined as produced naturally by lifeforms, which completely discounts things like SiO2 "

Actually, life is rather good at making things from SiO2

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatom

The word "Organic" means what you want it to, but "chemical free" is just silly.

Incidentally, way back in this thread someone said that the 6X dilution of bichromate was 1 in ten to the sixth.
It's not.
That would be silly- there might actually be some left.
The homoeopaths dilute things 100 fold each time so it's one part in 100 ^6 or 1 in 10^12
Then, rather absurdly, they dilute it 3000 fold as if that will matter.
Mind you , some of the other "ingredients" are diluted 12X so that's 1 in 10^24
At that level it's unlikely that there's a single molecule of "ingredient" left in the product.

but the most important thing to remember is the bumper sticker
"Real homoeopaths bang it repeatedly against a lump of rubber!".
