anybody know of a convenient place that I can buy zinc chloride, either by post or local to the leicester/nuneaton area?

Would be handy if the same place would also sell ammonium chloride, though I can get this from a place I have used in the past.

It needs to be either industrial or lab grade, but no, before somebody suggests, i'm not buying cheap batteries and stripping it out of them!

Depends how much you need really if you need a lot then searching out a manufacturer would make sense.

Search for "bulk chemical supplier zinc chloride" in google, there might be a place near you.

Found this uk mail order place at £6.11 for 500g

we get our chemicals from M56 Chemicals & Laboratory Supplies Ltd. their number is 01928 751855 they are local to us but should be able to deliver chemicals to you.

They will be lab grade too.

cheers folks, a few options there!

Don't need too much, a kilo will be plenty.

As for what I'm doing, somebody on here will guess, but I'm not saying until I see the results, but its not very exciting!
