Thats an interesting name for a place that sells chemical and pyrotechnic materials, doesn't inoxia mean; without prickles; harmless - http://www.backyardgardener.com/gardendictionary/inoxia.html

Haha or perhaps it is the opposite? Consider Datura Inoxia, which has prickles and is very far from harmless.

I read in the other topic that cellulose thinner is toluene, is this pure toluene or is it mixed with other compounds and if so what would be the purity approx?
Pure DCM is sold at DIY stores as paintbrush-dehardener.

Allstarlab.com has formaldehyde, although I havent bought formaldehyde from them, I have bought other chemicals. They seem legitimate

Legitimate!? They only sell 1,4-butanediol, formaldehyde and toluene. Butanediol has its own category, separated from the other two 'chemicals'. Quite a restricted selection of precursors, though.

AFAIK 1,4-butanediol is quite restricted. It has about the same effects as GHB in humans, as it is metabolized to GHB in the human body.

2-nitropropane-diole seems to be main ingredient in many formaldehyde free septic deodorizers. Same chemical is found, but only in small quantities, in some commercial shower gels, and in Costco brand baby wipes. EeeeeK!:D:)

Has anyone used this website before:

chemassociates.com

??

They don't require registration nor credentials from a company/lab and so I assume they will sell pretty much everything for personal use.

What do you think?

I was surprised to find that unmixed heptane is available as "Bestine Solvent and Thinner". It's listed on the can as "Heptane Formula". The MSDS indicates that's all there is.

you shoulda' asked! I found this out years ago. It's not exactly cheap, but I happened to work at a store that sold it, so employee discount + coupons saved me a lot.

http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/eng/2935174-AA.shtml

-citric acid
-sodium hexametaphosphate (water softener)
-sodium thiosulfate (bleach-stop)
-thiourea dioxide (Dharma Color Remover)

Less than useful:
-sodium carbonate
-sodium sulfate
-aluminum sulfate

I don't know if this has been mentioned here before, but AFAIK United Nuclear no longer sells uranium dioxide or uranium acetate (I've looked many times but can't find it on their website.)

It seems to be aimed at the pyro user largely...lots of metal oxides and such.


Steve from Inoxia is well known over on the UK Pyro forums.

From what I know he is either a Chemistry PhD or a doctoral student reading his PhD.

One place to avoid in obtaining reagents is a guy from Poland called Lukasz. He runs the keten.org.pl website.

Whilst he has a wide selection of reagents he is very slow and some times almost slap dash about posting orders out.

He is also damned expensive, avoid if at all possible.

Quite agree - still waiting for an order placed 5 weeks ago. Just about to lodge a dispute with paypal.

Rarely replies to emails and when he does always has an excuse

He does however have some interesting and slightly exotic chems

That is pretty cool. And it appears to be pretty pure stuff as well.

Avoid huh? LMAO what gave it away the fact that it appears to be a blantant sting or scam site or his poor service? Its name is Keten.org for christ sake. Keten is widely known to produce acetic anhydride which is used to make heroin from morphine. And low and behold the back ground to the reagents page is what? A morphine molecule. You should have been able to avoid dealing with him with ease.

Sedit:

The molybdenum mix page said this:
Contents: Deionized water; strontium, magnesium, potassium and molybdenum salts.

So unless there is a way to precipitate molybdenum and strontium selectively, not much use for us?

Strontium pages don't have any ingredients listed, but it doesn't cost that much for a bottle anyway. I might put in an order with this company for diatomaceous earth and plumbing parts anyway.

Any potassium or sodium would swamp out the characteristic red of strontium in a flame test right?

Edit: strontium carbonate is available by the pound on ebay, no point in boiling down this for the chloride...

The strontium one where as it does not note the other materials seems to suggest that there are non. It will not add bicarbonates and what not to your fish tank and just seems to suggest its nothing more then a strontium salt. I would think they would list the extras if there where any like they did for the molybdenum one.

NaNO3 10lbs $28 shipping included.Both vary in package size
from 500gr on up to 25lbs.Some other chemicals I cannot comment as far as price PB nitrate 30gr $5.95+s etc (Dowless
