This thread is the place for information on chemicals for extractions.
The botanical product to extract from goes in the suppliers thread, not here.
Hopefully we will be able to identify the purest/safest chemicals to protect members' health, so we all live as long as Albert (102), rather than Terrence (53).
And streamline the process of gathering supplies so they'll be less frustrated-noob threads started.
Then maybe one day all this info could be incorporated into the Wiki!
To add a chemical, please include in this format:
Product:
Chemical:
AKA:
Where available: (where to buy it, including country)
Legitimate uses: (what to say when buying it)
Safe to use?: (unless it's food, only put 'yes' if you're a chemist, otherwise 'assumed safe', 'told safe by others' etc)
MSDS: (web address if available, please write without the 'www.' so that people have to cut and paste- then manufacturers & authorities won't notice linking from this site)
Product:
Chemical:

Where available:
Legitimate uses:

Protect SWIY's identity by not stating the exact supplier, unless the supplier is sufficiently large for SWIY to retain relative anonymity. 'Where available: online', or 'health food shop' is enough. One can assume that 'Sainsburys' or 'Wal-mart' etc is fine too. Always buy in person- with cash not credit- whenever possible. If forced to buy off Ebay, don't leave feedback then hopefully no feedback wil be left in return- be aware that previous purchases are viewable by anyone, could end up looking like a how-to-extract shopping list and come up in Google searches. Governments probably have the right to get your name and address from Ebay upon request.
Always check for residue by performing an evaporation test with any solvent. If any residue is left, don't use that product.
