Chem price from Québec

Blind Angel - 8-3-2005 at 15:44

I had some U2U about pricing but i would like first to know if it's really that cheap or normal or pricey. Up to date the pricelist that I have is this one (I must inquire for every chem I want):
All price in $CAD
CaCO3 (500g) 20.00$
CaCl2 (500g) 20.00$
NaNO2 (500g) 20.00$
K2CO3 (500g) 40.00$
Na2S2O3 (500g) 20.00$
Ethanol (1L) 12.00$
HgCl2 (500g) 220.00$
Nitromethane (1L) 280.00$
NaOH (500g) 12.00$
Isopropyl Alcohol (1L) 16.00$
Methanol (1L) 12.00$
Dichloromethan (1L) 20.00$
Sulfuric Acid 98% (1L) 12.00$
Bromine (1L) 400.00$
Amonium Acetate (500g) 30.00$
Glacial Acetic Acid (1L) 10.00$ (4L) 35.00$
All product are reageant grade or analytical grade

Please can someone give me some feedback on those price (good/bad).

And the shipping is around ~20$. If you want price and all, U2U me and we'll see.

The prices seem reasonable to me, except the nitromethane, I hope the price for 1 liter is a typo, $280 CAN for 1 liter is a rip off if I have ever seen one. :o

I think it's a typo too, i'll ask him into the next submission.

1 liter of bromine, how cool would it be to have that sitting in your lab.

It's pretty cool, although I would have never valued it at that price, I feel rich :D

Calcium chloride, potassium and calcium carbonate all seem a bit high. But then again most of the other prices seem reasonable, and every company has a few high prices with the low.

not cool at all. bromine is the nastiest stuff i've encountered. maybe i'd like it better if it were sitting in acetic acid.

Well, I have 500 ml of bromine and unless you don't have the proper cap, it is indeed a very nasty chemical. Got 7 years ago a very ugly burn and I still have the scar...

Blind Angel - 14-3-2005 at 17:46

Never knew that Bromine was that interesting, now i understand Bromic Acid :D

Are you from Quebec city? I'm interested but I need more money. Happy that taxes are included!

From what I see everything is double what they should be. If these are prices for ACS grade then thats a different matter. Technical grade is almost as good and can cost much less. Sometimes you can find technical chemicals in 5 pound quantities for about the same price.

Blind Angel - 15-3-2005 at 06:17

I know for sure that my Hydrochloric Acid is Technical 20°. I'll ask about the purity of the product, but I think that they are mostly 99,9+%

EDIT: Finaly they're all technical grade, anyway, personnly I don't mind paying a bit more to not be listed and not having to possess a federal account of some sort... and remember that they are in $CAD and with tax included so you can almost cut the price in two to have the $US price.
