In addition to featuring mobile access to ease the creation of market posts, the new platform will include a “chat” feature to enable quick access to the platform managers to answer your questions and resolve any platform issues.

Surplus Chemicals
We have several drums of solvents we are looking to move out as a product not as a waste this product is out of (our) specs but would be nice raw materials for anyone else. We are a very high purity solvent company located in Fairfield, Ohio. We are willing to part with this material for about 40 bucks 55 gallons. These drums may be partial drums but most are full again out of our specs 99.9% but nice raw materials for someone else. At this time at this price we can not provide a COA. We know that this material is at least 95%-99% pure with most of impurities being water. The photos represent some of the materials that are or may-not still be available. Please, if you need solvent let me know what you need I may have them.
