I took delivery of 500g SN today. Question is now to confirm if it is real and pure. Of course I have suspicions. The bottle it is in is already opened, its cap is like a standard water bottle so has a ring that you need to break the cap away from to turn it. This is already broken. But I wonder if this is just cause its a custom fill?
There is no label per se, just a small sticker saying "toner". It was from a chem company in China and they said they would label it something different to make it easier. I didnt ask them to do this but they suggested they would. Is this suspicious not having a printed label?
Is it a concern to the quality to be in a capped bottle with cap able to be opened already? Or could customs have opened it?
I will test it using Water Works nitrite/nitrate strips. These are to 10mg/L nitrite and 50mg/L nitrate. The chem co emailed me a CoA that says it should be 99%. So assume that means it should be all nitrite (i.e. have no nitrate or anything else for that matter in it?). So nitrate colour reading should be white/clear.
Will report back after testing but keen to have advice on the questions. Thanks all.
