SD sn

Is Sn from SD not a thing anymore? I never hear about it on here?

I think they only ship to businesses now

I was wondering too. Their site is still up.

I have it but I cant test it cause my parents never leave. Some others have said it may not be as pure as Dmc but havent gotten an answer if its pure enough for ctb regardless . Hopefully I can test it next month

How old is your SD SN?

I had it for a while, but disposed of it about 6 months ago. I bought the chemical version and it tested very strong with bartovation test strips… what I tested was definitely legit. Before I bought DMC, I tried to buy from them again about 2 months ago. They cancelled my order and told me they would refund my money. They didn't do anything for nearly a week so I contacted my credit card and disputed the charge. I received my refund in full from my credit card and never heard anything ever again from SD.

How old is your SD SN?

9 months old

I keep seeing questions about SN expiring. It's an inorganic salt and preservative. How does it go bad?

9 months old

Congratulations

SN is indeed an inorganic salt, and as such, it doesn't "expire" in the way organic compounds do. It doesn't rot, ferment, or decay. Left untouched in a sealed container, stored in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture, it can remain chemically stable for many years—often far beyond any listed expiration date.

But it's about integrity.

The risks arise when SN is exposed to air, especially humid air. It is hygroscopic. This can cause clumping, discoloration, or dissolution—none of which are inherently toxic, but all of which reduce its purity. Impure SN may not induce the intended effect at the expected dose. Worse, it may result in partial reactions (nausea, vomiting, or failure) turning a peaceful exit into an emergency.
So no, it doesn't "expire" like food. But it can degrade in form and potency. That's why people speak of shelf life. Not because the salt dies but because certainty does.

SD took my money and never shipped.

I ordered from there as my back up last week. Hasn't came yet, but it's only been a week. I didn't get a tracking number or anything, so I don't know how long it would take. How long did it take for yours to arrive, if you remember?

SD took my money and never shipped.

How long ago was that?

 

[divinemistress87]

I think it was around week and half I didnt receive a tracking number either

I talked to someone who is supposedly a supplier for chem labs, and he said that not to worry because as long as you don't open the original container, the shelf life should be good.

I'm still holding onto shelf life being 3 years though o_o

wtf? No waaay.

So, if it's in a sealed container, more chances it will be okay?

Yeah mine's is a year+ and I'm continuing to hold on. It's nice to have it on-hand but I get concerned about sourcing again years down the road.

Did you get the food grade one or the other option? Worried I ordered the wrong one. Just realized the PPH listed the other option but that's not the one I purchased , says it's 99% though.

Thats the one I go to. In the pretty packaging

Oh idk about the packaging, haven't received it yet, but that's a plus! I hope it's sufficient, worried about going to CTB and just getting sick instead. Already suffering enough ;((. The other one only sells to businesses apparently, which also makes me worried because it makes it sound more legitimate.

Ya I would test it beforehand <3
