I went through this last year. no new product they are just not selling it any more at woolies and coles. Maybe the borax company didnt want to pay the very high price to keep their product on the shelf at these 2 stores. I went to the manufacturers website and had a look around as to where I can pu...

yes thats correct! It is not allowed.

we use shaving foam or hair mousse.

Hi Krysia Lee,

mini sds's need to be in colour as they are colour coded up the top.
but supplier sds's dont need to be as they are usually black and white except for the letterhead.

so it depends on what you are using. I hope that helps you.

Is that why when I print out hydrochloric acid 0.1M, I see a blank page under the chemwatch GHS 14 labels. is that because it hasnt been updated/completed?

Hi Jamie, I am in the same boat as you. NO colour printer. But I am working on it. I am told in the holidays i will be getting a printer. will see. at the moment I am having to print to a colour printer in admin. which is far away. we are not aloud to use the colour photocopier only printer. if we u...

we use clear contact here to stick the labels on. I understand everything you have said above except "risk phrase numbers"
Can someone please explain!

Thanks Superbug

yes they have put them as a pdf on chemwatch, which is useless!

I am not asking about the sticky labels that we can buy but the info on chemical solutions such as first aid etc, that are required by law on each bottle.
Surely there has to be an easier way then what Sunray 18 did. which was to go through all her individual labels and modify them herself.

wow that sounds like a huge job Sunray18. I am shaking in my boots just thinking of the mammoth task ahead.

Hi Everyone, I got a cd "chemical label Maker V5" from omega scientific which is not GHS (no Pics). I was wondering how people make there own GHS chemical labels. Do you all use chemwatch labels or is there something better out there? I would like to relabel all our chemicals as I have a b...

Yes I had the same issue!

Hi Tuesday suits me. Thanks for trying to organise something for us

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to buy preserved specimens such as a cows eyeball, starfish etc already in a proper sealed specimen container with liquid?

I hope so, as I couldn't do it myself on the account of me being squeamish.

Thanks Superbug

We get ours from the local butcher as well for free. Or there is the abbatoirs where we got them for free as well.

Hi There, I use the incompatibility feature on chemwatch gold 3. I have my chemicals in the manifest and then do the incompatibility feature and it basically tells you what chemicals need to be removed in order to be safe. I hope that helps. sometimes those charts are impossible to work out (for me ...

Yes air blows out towards you, which isnt ideal as you will be blowing chemicals/fumes onto yourself.

is it Sunray18? I called our local Bunnings and Masters and they told me they dont carry that item. I have been on the mckenzie website - (borax makers) and they have a list there of people that sell borax and bunnings isnt on there. I only found this out during science week when we did slime and I ...

Borax is only sold at franklins and some IGA stores. Woolworths doesn't sell it anymore.

Hi Xenon,
We had 2 X double sided in the prep room and classrooms. However they both got closed off on the prep room side, as the motor wasnt strong enough for both sides.
So now I have none, but a lot of bench space.
