Anyone know where labels for chems can be found to download and print. Like the ones Inoxia put on their chems showing appropriate hazzard symbols?

[pudi.dk]

maxman, here's how I label my chems (homemade labels).
It's not 100% optimal, but it does the job for me, because I can see what chemical it is, what grade, and which hazard symbols the chemical have.

I print the labels on adhesive paper with a layer of protective covering. I then cut them out as I need them.
I also print the hazard symbols and cut them out for each chemical, and stick 'em onto the label.




If you (or anyone else for that matter) are interested, I can design you a label.

You could try "ChemEtikett", a free software (written by me) for printing labels for chems.
It's avaible at www.tofoq.de (Sorry, the English version of the page is outdated, but I suppose the German version is understandable, too).
I'd like to get some feedback if it works or if there are any problems.
The last build of the program is dated 2004, so I might be rewriting the code if there are any problems.

This is quite a good resource too, very high-def signs:

not to be pedantic, but Pudi.dk, the KNO3 should also have a Toxic sticker and your Charcoal needs a Flammable sticker.

From what I can tell KNO3 is about as toxic as table salt, does it really warrant a toxic sticker?

[pudi.dk]

I'd really disagree with the KNO3 needing a toxic sticker.
I label the chemicals after www.kiros.dk and under "Charcoal activated, powder" there are no symbol for flammable.

From what I can tell KNO3 is about as toxic as table salt, does it really warrant a toxic sticker?

that May be true for Some, but it`s not Fact.
the fact is that it can in a few be turned to the nitrIte and result in Death due to methemoglobin formation.
ergo, it gets a Toxic sticker.

your Charcoal is marked as `Airfloat`, ever seen an FAE?
Custard powder is the Usual demo for this phenomenon, there are probably countless youtube vids to this effect.
ergo it gets a Flammable sticker.

How cautious do you go though?

It's possible to make flour explode, sugar burns. Should these then be labelled flammable in the home.

Seriously I think sometimes labelling can be a bit over the top. I'm not trying to say that if you possess anything dangerous it should not be labelled appropriately and chems should definitely always be identifiable by a label however just because it is possible to make say, charcoal burn quickly should it then be labelled flammable?

KNO3 is not good for your kidneys.

The Inoxia labels are among the best I've seen. Their Perc for example begins, 'take off all contaminated clothing' etc. etc.

I asked a doctor friend what chronic Perc contamination would do to me over time and Pernicious Anemia, with red blood cell production permanently shutting down in the larger bones of my body was scary enough to make me believe them...

IIRC, one of the 1`st symptoms for Mild exposure is loss of appetite, needless to say repeated exposure just gets worse from there!

[portfire]
