SN Question

[Deathisbetter]

Hi everyone just wanted to ask before I make a mistake for SN is 99% food grade good for CTB or no? thank you for your time just confirming before I waste my money to buy it and end up not getting the right one to ctb

 

[Praestat_Mori]

99% is fine!

Also, should it basically three glasses of SN, one to drink and two backups? I known people having 4 backup, I will say 2 backup and 1 to drink but it’s your call

I would love a PM of your source if that's ok please, I understand if not. Thanks

Sn used for ctb can't be a food grade even if they say 99% purity, is it from alibaba?

Food grade SN can be 99% - As long as it's Nitrite as you know, SN is used for food isn't it ?

Yes sn used for food have only 6-7% purity not 99%, 99% human will die

I think if you re-read the OP, they did say that it was 99% food grade.

 

[SetMeFree11]

Chemist here.
food grade can be 99% and be used for cbt.
6-7% SN is curing salt (SN mixed with NaCl)

That's what i was thinking

Yeah it is 99%

It's not from alibaba
Sure :) just it's late for me where I am so will send it in the morning

I would love a PM of your source if that's ok please, I understand if not. Thanks

Yeah it is 99%

Me too please!!! Only if you can, thank you.

Ok I'm being stupid, sorry, I don't get what the difference is as long as the purity of the chemical part is 99%.
It could be food grade or shoe grade couldn't it as long as 99% of the compounds are pure SN ?
I'm struggling to understand the difference if they both contain 99% SN.

Do you know of the best aquarium test that will tell the purity of nitrite. Thank you

 

[Deathisbetter]

Sure I need to go to sleep as its night time here once I wake up I will send you the link

Me too please!!! Only if you can, thank you.

Seconded would be interesting to hear I haven't had anyone test it yet but it looks and feels legitimate

I think Lab grade has less impurities since the SN I'm going to get has about 0.8% of Nitrates and it's purity is 99% AR which means it is as pure as it gets I suppose but I think Food grade could still work as look as the purity is high enough. This is why Lab grade is recommended over Food grade however even in the comprehensive guide by Stan, food grade is still fine.

AR (analytical reagent) is the lowest grade used in the lab and the highest will be ACS

Do you know of the best aquarium test that will tell the purity of nitrite. Thank you

I Will try to do some research

Fair enough but it's still pretty damn pure enough to CTB at the moment of choosing, that's what matters although how is it the lowest when this grade of chemicals are used for high precision work. In this, trace impurities are restricted to the lowest possible limits for high precision and its not the lowest considering Techinal grade, Lab grade and Synthesis grade are all lower than AR with ACS right above it as well as other classifications that follow.

In either case, it's SN that's good enough to get it done.

Totaly agree, AR and also food grade are enough for ctb

Though, from the supplier I'm looking at, there's also CP which is Chemical pure SN but they said AR is more pure than that. However yes, AR grade is enough though i do wish I knew how many people used it to be CTB compared to food grade.

are you really a chemist that is awesome :)

I am ... :)
I could synthesize phenobarbital if I had the starting materials and equipment.

that's awesome I wish I could buy some from you if you ever decide to make some I really hate this existance so much :(

Vizzy had suggested this aquarium test as one of the best. I'm sure other cheaper ones work too but just passing on info from another SN thread

Nitrite 0-25 Nitrate 0-500 ppm Test | Bartovation

Dual-pad strips for nitrite (0-25 ppm) and nitrate (0-500 ppm) testing. Ensures accurate water quality assessment.

I have aquarium nitrite tests up to 5 PPM locally available. Guides suggest up to10 PPM. I can't find up to 10 PPM.
