is this product ph balanced and pre sterilized?

I use this product in my aquarium to lower the ph. My tap water comes out at 7.5 and this product lowered it to 6.0 (my RO water comes out at 6.4). I plan to spread the used moss over my yard. I had no way to determine if its sterilized, but I did examine it and there are no apparent side effects to my fish.

no, I don't believe so. The ph is somewhere around 6 (peat is naturally acidic) and while I haven't seen any evidence of fungus or such it was not labeled as sterile. I have used a bit for seed-starting and blending potting mixes, but my primary use is as a filter medium for a freshwater acidic aquarium where is helps balance the ph of the aquarium water (ph of 6.2) while removing some of the hardness of the tap water. I sift out the finest particles and fibers, put in a fine mesh bag and soak it overnight, rinse it, and put the bag in one of my aquarium filters. it removes both temporary and permanent hardness, sequesters heavy metals, buffers the ph and releases small amounts of tannins and organic compounds into the water which is good for my south-american blackwater tank.

No it is not. I also wanted Phosphate free, but ordered this instead. It did not do the best job for my project.

They each are in an individually wrapped package, and I assume they are sterilized, or at least they appear to be pre sterilized to me. I use them to skin dead animals, so I am not so concerned about it, but I think they are.

Shorty is correct. It's phosphoric acid according to the MSDS:http://www.proproducts.com/Libraries/MSDS/E_ProChem_ResCare.sflb.ashx

I used them straight from the package and had no problems. The amazon.com product information Q & A states that they are sterile and ready to use.

I do not know Arthur... I have had mine for a couple of years, however I keep it in the refrigerator once I opened it. It has NO preservatives.... it is still good. It does not take much when you use it. I hope this will help answer your question. :-)

NO. Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide is pure, only the crap you buy in the store has stabilizers in them.

Yes, you must wash the items with soap and water to ensure they are clean prior to sterilizing them. The sterilizer does not wash the items.

My understanding is it's entirely preserved by the drying process, so no added preservatives, just the water removed.

Yes, the preservative used is "Purite" (stabilized oxychloro complex). My doctor says it's OK, without contraindications. Look for it in: http://www.refreshbrand.com/html/practitioner/purite.asp

I like this product. I am not a chemist, so I don't know how I could attest to the purity. Apparently, from your comment, you have some way to ascertain purity? If so, why ask? I had merely heard that OptiMSM is a good product, and I have heard that this is a good company. You are on your own from there.

I cannot guarantee the sterility after opening but the packages are mylar and can be resealed with heat from a clothing iron or hair straightener just as we do for food storage Mylar bags. Just be sure to squeeze out as much air as possible. I would be very careful of contamination. You may want to purchase a couple of smaller pouches for smaller wounds if you get a chance.

It is not listed on the bottle anywhere, so I stuck my pH strip into the bottle. It came up with 6.25pH.

I have used all sorts of different Milton sterilizing products and i think its just marketing. You just follow the instructions of the mixing/dilution on the package and presto it works. All the ones i have used at 15min sterilization time if you mix as per the instructions on the tablets, the max tablets or the liquid. I have used the liquid, a mixing ration of small tablet to 2 liters and the big tablets which is 1 tablet to 4 liters, in my experience its all the same.

Yes, it is sulphate, phosphate and paraben free... safe for keratin treatments... in fact that was ther reason I bought them

I don't think this product is laboratory-grade. I would not use this on anything but food products. I would also avoid very high or very low pH.

Yes, they are. I have ordered these several times. I only use acid free. Linda R.
