I am almost possitive it is illegal to ship sodium azide through several differnt mail carriers I don't remember which ones or why. I currently am
busy and can't use computer could someone inform me about these laws?

I've heard that the airbag mechanism in cars use sodium azide to produce nitrogen to inflate the airbags. Not sure if this is obsolete, but if you can
get to a junkyard perhaps it's possible to salvage some. Probably not more than a few grams per airbag, if that.
Might also be dangerous to find/take it apart. :/

Not sure if you have junkyards like this where you are from, but here we have one that sells basically anything you can yank out of old cars. I've
gotten some sodium azide from two of them last year... Didn't weigh how much though, I'll have to do that.
Only 20$ each

Surprisingly I came across sodium azide. I had to pick it up immediately because i have never seen it for sale before and thought it was hard to get.
And this stuff is 98% pure and only $25 for a 100 grams. If any one wants to know where to get it u2u me.

The older cars had sodium azide, some of the newer ones use ammonium nitrate mixes, those are the ones that can go "bad" over time and either not go
when desired, or go off unexpectedly. The challenge is that they absorb water over time and reactions start taking place in the mixture. That is
not a good thing in general. So they are changing them again.

I planned on going the airbag route but considering the price and hassle of taking them apart i went for the online purchase as soon as i saw it. I
wonder how many grams of NaN3 would be in an airbag. And i think it is mixed with chemicals to react with the metallic sodium byproduct of
decomposition.

It is a pain in the ass to take them apart.
The one I used contained about 50 grams of pellets.
The sodium azide is mixed with potassium nitrate and there is also black metallic gunk that needs to be filtered off after it is dissolved in a
solution for use. I don't know what it is but it sticks to stirbars.
Be good, otherwise be good at it

Another user posted a picture of a bottle they received of NaN3 from this company the other day on the last chemical order thread.
I don't know the reporting threshold as it would vary from country to country but it would be on most places security concern chemicals lists.

Sodium Azide
Sodium Azide is available from Elemental Scientific as Special Order. Really no problems shipping small quantities via FedEx or UPS. It is shipped
as hazardous and requires special permit to ship, but can be done.
