Well I finally decided to put two different MSDS in the folder for the PE dept. I placed the party popper MSDS and I also placed one for Primer caps. Though I believe they may be for the production of bullets. They have the same dangerous goods and packaging class. I Have no other information to go ...

Thanks smily, tried Armstrong's mixture and 1880 hits came up. just goes to show that my name isn't given me much luck today.
Party poppers comes up Meteor Party Poppers, can I substitute that MSDS for the cap gun or not?
Thanks for all the help, this is driving me

Hello everyone, I am in the middle of updating/ compiling the school chemical register. Anyway the only problem is that I can't find a MSDS for the cap's for the PE cap gun. Looked on chemwatch tried all names, no luck. All the box they came in said was Caps, fireworks D/1.4s, Made in Tiawan. If you...

I have to turn the gas on in the closet lab, as the solonoid does the preproom too.

Hello, I am wanting ideas on what other chemicals could be used to grow crystals for juniors. We make borax crystals, copper sulfate crystals and alum potash crystals. A teacher asked me for any ideas on a different type to make it a little more fun. :oops: Please let me know if your school can do a...

My husband and I own the Gas co in town, and the law is that all gas cylinders are to be stored upright and be chained to the wall. the only exempt is if they have a purpose built store room for them. Industrial arts here has one. If they are not chained to the wall and fall over they can be like to...

Sorry, the topic that we do is patterns in nature. Thanks.

Pleas help, We (teachers and I) are searching for new ideas for yr 11 Bio Prac assessment task. Previously we have done the Rate of reaction with liver, phenol.. agar and looked at certain slides of cells. We are now thinking that siblings are coming through and using notes from elders so we want so...

last week one of my new teachers asked for vitamin C tablets for the kids to use to wash of their fingers that accidently touched the pot, perm.
Didn't see how well it worked but the teacher says that it's great.

my labs sound pretty much similar to some other posts. I have place 1 retort stand ,1power pack, 2 tt racks on one side(had to take middle shelf out). The other side under the sink, has 2 clamps and bossheads, 2 tongs, 2 tt holders, 2 guaze, 2 bench mats,2 bunsens. the bottom shelf has 2 tripods, 1 ...

we use them all the time, especially for juniors. We have slides on cells,rocks, chromosomes, digestive system etc. The slides come in cards that have a little information which the kids can use. This ables us to keep the precious slides for seniors. they are easy to maintain and clean too. Start us...

Sort of on the same topic, I have a new flammable cupboard, but is not vented to the extraction fan. I have a lot of old stock that my HOD will not let me get rid of. My problem is that I went in there last week and the zinc alloy(i think they are) shelves look like they are starting to corrode. Its...

my recipe that I have is,
To 1Litre of water : 22.5g NaCl
1.75g MgSO4
2.5g MgCl2
1.0g K2SO4

Hope this helps and is correct.

Hi, sorry to bring this back up, this is the first time I have had to use this DCPIP. For seniors. Want to test it for myself, do you have to heat it after you add it to Vit C solution? I have disolved a Vit C tablet and added a few drops of DCPIP to the solution and the result was that the blue of ...

i don't know if its ok but I have kept it and stuck a label on it . Keeping it in chemical room.

rainbow,
forgot to tell you to try fly spray, that is what I use on the normal whiteboards but have never tried it on the interactive boards
Trish

Its a smart idea to make up signs and stick right next to the interactive whiteboard not to use ANY TYPE of ink pens. I did this and haven't had a problem since, the casuals used to use whiteboard markers on them on accidental occasions but haven't had the problem since the signs appeared. Trish :cl...

hello Viclabbie, to clear you up on the tape issue. I was once told that you can tape up the lids of the bottles of flammables its stops the smell through evaporation realeased. This problem is not in my chem store but a school near by, the cupboard is in the chemical room, but is a small size flamm...

Hello, My question is, if you have a brand new flammable cupboard (small single door, no connection to vents) and have sealed all the bottles with parrafin/tape but you still having an overpowering smell every time you open the door. Is there a method that you can put something in there to absorb th...
