Iron II OXide

[Labbie]

A teacher has asked for a MSDS on Iron II OXide. I only have Iron III Oxide. And in the bible I can not find Iron II Oxide.

Can any one help?????????????

The manufacturers are obligated to supply them on their website, it's required by law, do you have the container it came in? Or don't you stock it and the teacher just wants to know it's characteristics?

[Labbie]

We do not have Iron II Oxide. He just whated the MSDS, but with Chemwatch unable to get onto. I wondered if any one may have a spare MSDS, was needed for this lesson. Not to worry, should have asked earlier.

[Labbie]

Chemwatch is up again. So thank you, I can get the MSDS on Iron II Oxide

[Labbie]

It appears Iron II Oxide is unable to be purchased in NSW. Does any one know of the reason???????????????

Seems the teacher would like some?

Also try hobby ceramics places as, from a google search, it appears to be a colouring agent.

Apart from checking ceramic supply places for black iron oxide, try Mitre 10 or Bunnings. Just ask where the oxides are. (Might be handy to mention cement as well.) I have bought black iron oxide and made a solution with powdered cement to paint over the concrete between the rocks in my garden. I don't know if the container or bag identifies the chemical formula.
