Re: Student medications
Sorry, I didnt answer the question first asked. I dont think you need an SDS but you must ensure medication the company supplies eg eye wash solution and creams have not expired.
I hope this helps

Re: SDS + Chemwatch
hi Nickyinz, We would have volumes and volumes of folders with full MSDS's in the principals office. You could sprain your back carrying them out during an emergency. But I take your point about requiring a computer. I thought all chemicals require msds's. we even have msds for food colouring , glue...

Re: sulfuric acid storage
Hi Dime,
Sorry these are solutions that I have had to make up in larger quantities. It would be nice to have a spout to easily decant the amount of sulfuric acid required.
The HCl is not an issue for leaks as we get them in bottles with 32% conc.
Thanks Cheers

Distilled Water
Hi All,
Just wondering what everybody does for distilled water. Is it cheaper and less wasteful to buy distilled water or is it better for use to buy a new water distiller (are they more efficient these days)?
Thanks
