Ethyl Mercaptan

Does anyone know where one can purchase a few gallons of Ethyl Mercaptan? That is the stuff that makes natural gas stink.

Gallons? Just a tiny amount will send you running for the hills. I dare not think why someone would want gallons of the stuff.

Ethyl Mercaptan? I loved her disco album.

Ummmm, isn’t mercaptan compounds incredibly toxic?

Just what do you plan on doing with it?

I know a person that has free gas from a well on his property. The production company doesn’t odorize the gas and I was thinking about installing him an odorizer if I could buy the Ethyl Mercaptain.

It’s rated slightly hazardous but I worked with it and some real bad ones for 30 years and I’m still here. :wink:

That’s just what my high-school chemistry teacher said when I asked to use his lab to whip some up.

He said no :frowning:
