ADI powder - weird granules in brand new bottles

Post by TassieTiger » 25 Sep 2020, 3:30 pm

Not sure what this stuff is - but it has come from a brand new bottle of ar2209. Its like its amalgamated A few granules - stuck hard together - and a completely different colour.
Some ppl have said its quite normal but I don’t know. I’ve never seen it.
One can only imagine if it would have an affect on burn?
I emailed ADI asking what it might be - but zero response.

G'day TassieTiger,
The graphite hasn't coated properly, it will still work OK. Cheers
