So we going to ignore opaline silica issues

[Waxplug1]

What’s so bad about opaline silica? What buckets say it dissolves in water? Do you have proof or pics of this happening?

Asking for a friend

[StoneD]

he definitely said silica was bad but has his own products?

[Mugatu]

He is saying the opeline silica dissolves when ran with hydrocarbons. Is the way I took it.

Maybe I misread it.

[spdking]

I’m saying I don’t exactly know the details to opaline products and it’s shrouded in mystery and how opaline silica may contain zeolites and that has reactivity with water. And alot of the products used haven’t had any direct testing for minor compounds. Lab silica’s and general use silica’s all have numerous papers written with thier uses and safety and removal to make safer for industrial uses in pharma. It’s so common to use them in chromatography or like filtering catalysts from reactions etc… It’s super common

[StoneD]

had me wondering…

so opaline “silica” is the concern …?

[Waxplug1]

Well it comes from the planet Mars

[StoneD]

Martian powders o no we are being invaded!!!

[Cheebachiefextracts]

[Waxplug1]

Oil dri imports it in

[Killa12345]

Oil dri is just another Elon musk company. Why do you think he wants on Mars so bad. So he can corner the crc market.

Plot twist, pulverized moon rocks elute d8 and d9 at significantly different rates. Thats how u get complaint d8, moonrock chromatography duh

[WeedThePeople]

I am kinda working on my cats poop turns to d8 after absorbing in the cat litter. I am also testing my spills from oil changes and using floor dry to clean it up. wondering how much d8 is in that also.

Just going to say silicates have been identified in a lot of black market products in the last year. So this is not a fabricated concern.

who is testing for silicates? i havent seen this article. can you share your source??

Same with vac grease, fire retardant, lots of mold, solvents, heavy metals, leftover reactants, and unknown isomers that are being sold.
There is a lot of stuff that needs to change ethically about the industry, sadly these days it is money over ethics.

@MediaBros, what do you guys have to say about this?

[MediaBros]

What’s going on here? Can someone give me the tldr?

[ExTek90]

@spdking

So opaline silica has dissolution issues with any moisture content. Weather it be in the hydrocarbon butane or propane extraction to the material itself having water present. It then dissolves small amounts into the extract. Clearly stating on these buckets of new media not to use with alcohol due to the water issues.

@MediaBros Any of that stuff true about your products?

Opaline silica is no bueno for crc
