Please note that there are price breaks per pound, the more that you get. Unless otherwise specified, the prices are, from left to right, the 1lb, 5lb, 10lb and 20 lb prices. See the Shipping Rates for more info. All the chemicals listed on this page (in blue) require a DOT-E-8249  Exemption box (see shipping rates for details)

The last thing listed behind the stock number is the hazardous class, if any, of the item. The Shipping class Legend follows. If any of these are listed after a chemical, that chemical is hazardous, but some of them may be shipped as a limited quantity with no hazmat. Those that can are as listed below in the color coding.

DW=Dangerous When Wet; SC=Spontaneously Combustible;
OX=Oxidizer; FS=Flammable Solid; FL=Flammable Liquid; PM=Poisonous Material;
CM=Corrosive Material; AG=Aerosol Gas; ORM=ORM-D (cannot be shipped with other hazmat items, but is not hazardous itself)

For our safety as well as yours, we ship everything according to regulations. The DOT has no sense of humor!

Note: For instructions on using the shopping cart, click here.

Color Coding:
Green - means that particular item is not considered hazardous. However, items that are listed as ORM-D CANNOT be shipped to other countries (no international shipping). E-mail us if you have a question on a partcular item. ORM-D's are not considered hazardous by ground service.
Orange - means the item is normally hazardous, but we can ship it without a hazmat fee (in 1LB quanities, up to 10LBs, at 1LB price)
Red - means that the item must be shipped hazardously, regardless of qty ordered.
Blue - require a DOT-E-8249 Exemption box and hazardous fees.

<==============================>
If you are placing an order with us online, you must be on file with us, regardless of what your first order is. This means that we have to have a signed in ink order form and a copy of your driver's license on file. If you do not have these things on file with us, it will just delay your order. You only have to do it once and then you can order whenever you would like. Go to our order form page to print out the order form there. Then you can use that to fill out and send in.

For the MSDS information buttons, please realize these may or may not be the same ones that come with your order. We have them included here for your convenience and they are pulled from the internet, not necessarily from the manufacturer that we get the material from.

Magnesium Nitrate, fine granular [Mg(NO3)2*6H2O], magnesium (II) nitrate, hexahydrate, nitric acid magnesium salt, hexahydrate. Stock # C162A -OX

White granular, hygroscopic oxidizer used where lower heat pyrotechnic reactions are desired which are not moisture sensitive. Because of its high water soluble nature, optimum homogeniety can be achieved when used in formulations containing water soluble binders. Dry thoroughly before using with reactive moisture sensitive metals and mixtures. Also used extensively in tank mixed fertilizers and in combination with other candidates including, but not limited to, ammonium nitrate, urea, ammonium sulfate,m potassium nitrate, phosphates, etc.. Magnesium is an essential part of chlorophyll production in green plants and is needed for photosynthesis to occur. Magnesium also activates enzymes needed for vigorous root production and growth. No ATFE required to purchase and no quantity restrictions.

Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP) 35-40% in Dimethyl Phthalate liquid curing agent - Stock #CMEKP
Wikipedia; Concentrated Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP) is an organic peroxide, a high explosive similar to acetone peroxide. MEKP is a colorless, oily liquid whereas acetone peroxide is a white powder at STP; MEKP is slightly less sensitive to shock and temperature, and more stable in storage. MEKP is a severe skin irritant and can cause progressive corrosive damage or blindness.
Dilute solutions of 30 to 60% MEKP are used in industry and by hobbyists as the catalyst which initiates the crosslinking of unsaturated polyester resins used in glass-reinforced plastics, and casting. For this application, MEKP is dissolved in dimethyl phthalate, cyclohexane peroxide, or diallyl phthalate to reduce sensitivity to shock. Benzoyl peroxide (Perkadox CH-50) can be used for the same purpose. The standard ratio is 1 oz. of MEKP to 1 gallon of polyester resin. For smaller quantities, please refer to the ratios below. Because there are numerous factors that govern the cure rate of the resin, the ratios listed are suggested starting points only. Always do a test with a small amount of resin first before mixing up a larger batch.
                                                                          1 oz resin: 20 drops MEKP
                                                                          16 oz resin: 1/8 oz MEKP
                                                                          32 oz resin: 1/4 oz MEKP
