Details

This is a smaller basic box than nr CE1401 and was intended as a cheap introduction to inorganic chemistry. Just a word of warning. There were children who liked the color of the chemicals and mistook it for candy. A fatal accident (I think it was potassium permangate) was one of the reasons for Philips to stop using experiment boxes. Chemicals were freely available for sale in the 1970s and 1980s, but society has become much more protective, so that the substances that were then children's toys are now prohibited for individuals and companies alien to industry. Another concern is the asbestos heat distribution plate.
