RogerH Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 I wanted to buy a small bottle of Jenolite the other day. So I googled Halfords but they had nothing. I looked on Ebay and also nothing. I then realised that I am looking for a yellow bottle. It would appear that things have changed it is now Gel or thick n' gloopy, giant buckets etc. What happened !!!!!

RogerH Posted June 15 Author Report Share Posted June 15 Thanks John, I eventually spotted that but I am pining for the yellow bottle. I'm sure that is the stuff. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 (edited) Roger, Isn't Jenolite just phosphoric acid with a fancy name? There was a discussion about phosphoric acid a while ago and I think the cheapest place to get it was from a farm supply shop. Used in milking parlors I believe. (Do they have milking parlors in Hayes?) Charlie. Edited June 15 by Charlie D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john.r.davies Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 (edited) Phosphoric acid is added to lots of foods, such as drinks and jam, so much so it has an E-number, E338! Hence, it's safe to use in milking machines. Most notably Coke, where it's what gives it the 'bite', but even in Coke there's only 0.05% of the acid. But that's enough to make pennies gleam!

Peter Cobbold Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 I seem to recall the surface has to be washed after Jenolite treatment - due to its hydrochloric acid content? Or am I misremebering... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart, There may be 0.05% of acid in Coke, which in one small 330mls can is less than 0.2mls! Or, four drops. The same can contains 39 GRAMS of sugar, when a teaspoon of sugar contains only 4 grams. That's what rots your teeth! John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
