603119 2007-10-19 21:26:00 May I ask what you would do with the said powder?

I know what I could use it for if I had it.

603121 2007-10-19 21:52:00 Tread carefully - in view of recent activities, you could end up with armed constables on your doorstep. Sample use here..... Quote: "It is a REACTIVE FLAMMABLE MATERIAL. Moist aluminum powder may ignite in air, with the formation of flammable hydrogen gas. It is also a COMBUSTIBLE DUST. When aluminum powder comes in contact with water, strong acids, strong bases or alcohols, it releases flammable hydrogen gas. It can react violently or explosively with many inorganic and organic chemicals." :rolleyes: Scouse (83)

603125 2007-10-19 22:13:00 Oh yeah and Google NZ doesn't actually come up with any places to buy it form =( mlp (12595)
603126 2007-10-19 22:17:00 Is it actually legal to buy/sell aluminium powder here? Maybe it's a restricted chemical. somebody (208)
603127 2007-10-19 22:25:00 Well I don't know if it's illegal but why should it be? It's used in making paints but hopefully someone can tell us :) mlp (12595)
