Not being a chemist, I find this rather perplexing. I like the idea of
doing business with firms like Bostick & Sullivan in business, but is there
really a difference between their's and a major chemical house's Ferric
Oxalate? Luis and the group, can you provide a little more insight into any
difference for Ferric Oxalate or any other chemical that is used in
alternative processes.
