bmendoza1 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 i was just wondering if anyone had a list of the densest/heaviest liquids/gels that are not harmful with the main aim to add weight to something without a need for any saftey equipment i.e. ventilation or protective clothing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmendoza1 Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 ideally the substance would be a gel that is stable but pliable so as to not resrict movement or cause imbalanced my movement of the substance like a liquid does. and it must be in this gel state at room temp.

John Cuthber Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Well, I guess you could go with finely powdered tungsten in starch/water. Why do you want to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Cuthber Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Reduction of WO3 by hydrogen at high temp is the industrial process I think. It's not very cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
