Chemical (IPA) Suppliers

[eSCHEn]

My normal supplier of IPA is ridiculously slow at dispatch and usually requires much prodding. I've just tried another company and turns out they may well be a scam and I'm now in the middle of a PayPal dispute with them, sigh.

So I'm after a reputable chemical supplier that does mail order as I have no local supplier (I've looked and there's nowt). Usually I'm only ever interested in IPA and citric acid so my needs are small. Heck, even just IPA would be enough as I'm nearly out of that.

• I'm not bothered if they're the cheapest.
• IPA is manageable quantities (10L is perfect for me but 25L would be fine).
• Reliable dispatch times.

Any recommendations?

Ahh yes, Hexeal. Those are the very company I have to prod every single time I order from them. Hence why I tried another!

Those fellas look good Shox, thanks. Prices are way higher than what I normally pay but I'm not sure whether that's due to them being expensive or, more likely, up till now I haven't been buying what I thought I was

I have no idea on their prices for IPA, I buy something else it would seem no one else sells, not cheap but they are consistent

No mate, I'm not complaining on their price just sort of realising I've probably been buying watered-down stuff if that's what triple nine IPA goes for really.

I thought it was expensive, I can distill better than 90% for less than £1 per litre

That's okay then, I'll be honest and say my wee starfish puckered when I saw it Just didnae want to be one of these folk who ask for a recommendation of something where "price is not important" and the first reaction is "that's no good it's too expensive"

 

[Shox Dr]

No good asking me, I think everything is too expensive

I've got 25 litres i would sell on, but not much use to you in porridge land.

I will only use it as degreaser.

Depends on your price and shipping it.

Unlikely that it could be couriered for any viable cost.

 

[bletchmonster]

I love IPA, but 10 litres in one session would see me off!!!
