Title: graded chemical products
Post by: wet_willy on August 09, 2008, 10:46:20 PM

I'm looking to purchase benzoic acid but not sure about the different grades availabe. What is BP grade? What is technical grade? What is LR grade? Any pointers?

Price is usually a good way to tell. Also, if you could find a purity number also listed that'll shed some light on the matter. Some vendors will have different nomenclature.
