Looking for Canadian Chemical Suppliers

[Greg L.]

I'm looking for someplace in Canada that can supply hobby size containers of Phosphoric Acid, Powdered Manganese Dioxide and Zinc Phosphate.

I've found various Parkerizing/Phosphating kits in the states but no one wants to ship to Canada....they say that they just don't want the hastle.... So it looks like my best bet is to find the chemicals up here and follow the process in the Corvette Restorer CD. I'm in Calgary but so far haven't had much luck localy. I'm not really even sure where to look for this stuff other than big chemical companies. Any help is appreciated.

Canadian Chemical Supplier

Greg,
Run on over to the Univ of Calgary, or call.. talk to the Science Dept. chem lab guys. They'll know a supplier.

Greg if you know of a Plating Co. near you they may sell you small Qtys if not they will probably tell you where they buy there supplies. What finsh are you trying to do Sounds like Black phosphate?

Have you tried suppliers like Fisher Scientific or Anachemia Science? They may be a bit more expensive than an Industrial Supplier due too the purity and quality control measures required for reagent grade chemicals. Good luck in finding a supplier.

That's good advice...I never even thought of the university. I did try Anachemia and they are getting back to me with prices but my impression is that they will be expensive.
