July 26, 20178 yr it's disgusting behaviour. I saw somthing in TV the other day where they said that the "attackers" just use little fruit-shoot type squeezy bottles. As for the acid, it doesn't even need to be very sophisticated, even some drain unblockers can be used Fuck knows what can be done to stop this new "trend"
July 26, 20178 yr I looked it up just out of curiosity. 2.5 litres of 96% sulphuric acid is 6 quid delivered to your door. There's experiments on YouTube showing the damage it can do. One fella was saying there is absolutely no reason the general public need it and so it shouldn't be sold.
July 26, 20178 yr Not just acid though. Plenty of oven cleaners and the like contain caustic soda. Equally damaging. I once worked at a place where one numpty spilled some down inside his boot, but continued to work without even washing himself. Burn removed his skin over a few square inches down to the strings and things underneath. Hideous it was.
July 26, 20178 yr Got 5l of sodium hydrochloride over the net for a fiver.. Nasty stuff, Same as knives bats etc, can't stop people getting this stuff and its pretty messed up that people feel the need to use it.
July 26, 20178 yr Sodium hypochlorite ? Or hydroxide? Or both. hypochlorite... appologies.. You can use hydroxide to neutralise it, or sodium triosulphate, Need to get rid of it but haven't gotten round to it yet. Was sold it as weed killer, but no chance i'm putting it down.

July 26, 20178 yr Getting mixed up with chlorate. Swanny, hydroxide doesn't neutralise hypochlorite, they're used together in bleach. Keep hold of it though. If labelled check the concentration, you may be able to dilute a portion at a time to use as household bleach. Whatever you do, wear glasses and gloves when handling an old clothes, some fabrics when dyed with sulphur dyes for example, will be bleached when splashed. Also keep it off your skin. The neutralising agent for chlorinating products (like bleach) is sodium thiosulphate.

See this is half the issue with these acid attacks, they have no idea what's been used.. so trying to stop the acid takes time (the one i said is an alkali but will do as much damage).. horrid thing to do, and the people doing it need locking up for a very long time.
July 26, 20178 yr To be honest there's stuff that could be made yourself that would be damaging. Maybe not as dangerous as this sort of stuff but dodgy nonetheless. A prime example being chilli extract/oil. The latest one, the Carolina reaper is equivalent to eating 400 jalapeños. If this is concentrated up it is dangerous to eyes and skin. Even the chap who developed it couldn't manage when he put a tiny drop from one into his gob. Strong chemicals do need banning from general use, but sentences for using stuff of this nature need stiffening.

July 31, 20178 yr Bloody hell!!! Glad I read this after dinner. Sorry, lunch. Haha. It did make me churn a bit when I first saw it. Stupid bugger was a bit numb to say the least and actually lost his job over it!

August 15, 20187 yr Even Ross Barton in Emmerdale is a victim of this, that's how serious it now is I hope he's still on the man-crush list
August 15, 20187 yr I hope he's still on the man-crush list I've moved him to the Simon Weston section
What the fuck is going on? is it really just so people can steal shit ?
