Does anyone have some expirience with large / larger packets from Keten? I ordered already two times but it was all the times an order from 5KG chemicals but in the future I want to do a great order (25Kg maybe 50).

I need also a cheap supplier from potassium perchlorate, in the past I had one and he sold me 25kgs of potassium perchlorate for £135 but he is stopped with sell potassium perchlorate. I find the prices from Keten for the potassium perchlorate a little bit hughe... I think he asks £12 for one kilo.

Thanks for helping!

I ordered 20 kg from him + visco fuse. Shipping for the visco was quite fast, whereas the package took 2 months.
I might order some things from him again...

Sorry for the double posting, but his mesh sizes are not always correct.

My "210 mesh Magnesium" just passed my 120 mesh sieve, some even didn't get through...
His "270 mesh magnalium" also looks a lot bigger in particle size, than my 250 mesh i bought from eBay...

[Pyromans]

A lot of people says his sizes are sometimes not correct. Now he has an alloy from 500-800mesh magnesium on his website. In the past he had 500mesh sizes and 800mesh sizes. It's possible to buy these apart but there is a minimum order from 10KG each, it's a little bit too much, I think. I've ordered some magnesiumpowder (210mesh). In the future I'll also buy his alloy and I'll see with my flashes. I think his magnesiumpowder will be very good stuff!

[MMMMMM Pyro]

I can in fact testify to his 500mesh Mg powder being Excellent!

Its stupidly powerful so be careful!

[Nostromo]

I can only agree on that. His Magnesium is really wonderful

[MDH]

If you're making flashes with that, I'd really love you to make something for me that I'd never make myself...

4 Potassium Perchlorate
2 Barium Nitrate
2 Dark Aluminum
2 Magnesium, fine.

Wear sunglasses?

Otherwise, I've emailed this fellow from Keten and he says he is willing to ship to Canada...

Is anyone else here still peeved about this fellow or has everything gone smoothly in the longrun?

Normally he doesn't ship Visco fuse with other chemicals. He ships it apart (customs I think). But I hope for you it's legal to ship too Canada. If the customs find your potassium perchlorate, german dark, barium perchlorate or something other metalpowder, oxidizer I think you'll have a problem.

[broadsword]

So for those in the UK what is your opinion on Keten?
Indeed he does have good prices but the phrase too good to be true comes to mind.

Also does anyone know if he will do say 500g orders of chemicals at all? I think 1kg of dark german is abit too much!

[MMMMMM Pyro]

Broadsword,
Yes, all you need to do is to ask him for the price of however much of a chemical you want and he is usually more than happy to oblige!

I know that he does seem to be too good to be true, but if you ask alot of the people that have recieved goods from him, the general consensus is that he is well worth it.

In fact, Im currently waiting for the final price of another order with him!


Best regards,

Mike

Hello guys

I think this needs further detailed description...
My bigger package from Keten came to me two days ago and I can only say WOW!!! Everything was neatly packed in separate PVE flasks, correctly marked and labeled. Some of the chemicals are little clumpy and need ball milling but overall, everything was in perfect order.
I tried just a small quantity of flash mixture with Perc and German Dark (all from the same source) and I can tell you, there's nothing scarier than that. It goes off with low-pitched thump making blinding flash, unconfined, of course. Conclusion, so far so good!

Mike

[Pyromans]

He ha's shipped my item two weeks a go (friday) and I didn't receive anything. I hope it's normal? I ordered already one time from him and I needed to wait 5 days, now, there are 11 days past....
