Hey, i was wondering how much zippo fluid would need to be consumed for it to be fatal? I'm using it as a non-polar sovlent, but I'm afraid there may me some left over in the final product.

its hard to visualize what you mean when you say you possibly have solvent left over in the final product---explain what reaction you did, why you think solvent is there,,and why your final product is a liquid

how many cans of zippo fluid ehh?? *in the voice of that little owl on the tootsiepop commercial*

Let's find out....1

twohooooo.....*stumbles*

thrrrreeeeee!!!!! *blacks out*



Flash it with some desert dry acetone.....

swim dreams of good ole naptha, cheap, easy, and great fur painting.....

RNX57%

Most "Zippo Brand" lighter fluid is Naptha RNX57%. Matter of fact, SWIL happens to have a can in his room.

By-the-by:

Your name- RNX57%??? Shouldn't it be RXN57%??? U know, Re-aX-tion(RXN)?

To answer your question:

Naptha is a combination of a number of different petroleum distillates.

One of it's primary components has an LD50 of 49.0ml/kg

sorry ld , swims not sure what a re-act-shen is. but swim dreams alot about really nice x-tras on 57th street. should i change my nic ? or could i just keep my mistake as a simple nic,, hehe

also as being rather close to bradford pa, home of zippo. there are additives in zippo lighter fluid not stated on the can, as its a small percent. swim still sticks to naptha vmp. since swim knows a few persons there at zippo swim will ask on the exact info of whats in zippo fluid.

swim remembers sittin @ the bar and hearin that zippo has extra things in its fluid to benefit the zippo lighters.

rnx57%

did you say your from pennsylvania,,,,,do you know of the military academy valley forge

RNX57%: Very interesting. I don't know what's up with your name, that's not really my deal. It just looked to me like a 57% HI Rxn(such as in the reduction of pseudoephedrine to methamphetamine).

As for Zippo fluid, I wouldn't trust He-said-she-said. I live by an ocean, but that doesn't mean I can tell you what's in the seawater! SWIL's can of Zippo states that it contains Naptha. Nothing else is listed, no patents, nothing.

I think your friend might be confusing zippo fluid with Coleman's Fuel, which is also Naptha but they add a rust inhibitor making it a teal color. On Coleman's can there is no contents listed at all, not even naptha. I believe it states it is a mix. The zippo fluid is perfectly clear, and mimics the can of Sunnyside VM&P that SWIL had previously.

You say you like to research, would you be willing to dig up some info???

Hi Kirby, nice to meet you. I dont know of that area as im in the NW area of penna, corner of NY and Ohio. I believe valley forge is in the east side of penna, and i have never been there.

Supp lukky, no you are right, i did do a typo. I wanted RXN57% but after a close to blotched rxn, SWIM did get some rather good strong product and i think it caused my typo,lmao. rnx thinks swim put a bit in my coffee.. but i guess ill keep it anyway.

lukky read some of this as im not a pro by a long run, but i think i read it as 2 ingredients. id like ur thoughts on it.

Section 2 - Compositon/Information on Ingredients

SOL ZP (ZIPPO LIGHTER FLUID), 84157

Ingredient Name: BENZENE (SARA 313) (CERCLA) (< 30 PPM)

Ingredient Name: VM & P NAPHTHA; (SHELL SOL ZP)

http://msds.ehs.cornell.edu/msds/msdsdod/a449/m224174.htm#Section9

ima guess 30 ppm is to small to put on the can but i am guessing at that. i do know upping the ppm of co2 ina grow room to 2000ppm with proper lighting will grow ( plants ) 5 times faster than out doors

thanks for the input lukky, nice to chat at you, be safe.
