* CAS number quoted on labelling corresponds to isoamyl nitrite The results for products obtained from overseas websites are as follows: Product Name Two of the samples containing isopropyl nitrite incorrectly stated CAS registry numbers for isoamyl nitrite on their labels although the ingredient naming was correct on each product. Two of the samples stated the ingredient as 'Pentyl nitrite' but instead contained isopentyl nitrite (aka isoamyl nitrite). A single major alkyl nitrite ingredient was found in each of these samples.įive of the samples were found to contain isopropyl nitrite while the remaining five samples were found to contain isoamyl nitrite (aka isopentyl nitrite).Įight of the samples contained the type of alkyl nitrite claimed on the label. Samples of a further ten products obtained from overseas websites were also tested. These tablets were found to consist of aluminium oxide, possibly intended to absorb any moisture and help prevent degradation of the isobutyl nitrite. Two of the products also contained a small white tablet suspended in the liquid referred to on the labelling as a 'power pellet' or 'power pak pellet'. Amsterdam Special Leather Cleaner 30 ml Bottle.Premium Iron Horse Leather Cleaner 30 ml Bottle.Jungle Juice Platinum Leather Cleaner 30 ml Bottle.Jungle Juice Black Label Extreme Formula Leather Cleaner 30 ml Bottle.SUPER RUSH - Black Label with Power Pellet 10 ml Bottle.RUSH Original with Power Pak Pellet 10 ml Bottle.The product labels all claimed to contain 'alkyl nitrite' but did not specify which one. The scheduled (S4) substance isobutyl nitrite was identified as the single major ingredient in all eight products. The purpose of this testing was to confirm the identity of the alkyl nitrites being used in the products and to compare the results to the labelled ingredients.Įight samples of alkyl nitrite 'poppers', labelled as 'leather cleaners', and obtained from local adult stores, were analysed for the presence of alkyl nitrites. To inform the recent discussion around rescheduling of alkyl nitrites, the TGA Laboratories have analysed samples of alkyl nitrite 'poppers' available for purchase both within Australia and from overseas. The alkyl nitrites suspected or known to have been used in 'poppers' include propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, amyl (aka pentyl), isoamyl (aka isopentyl), and octyl nitrites. The TGA has tested a range of alkyl nitrite-containing products to confirm the identity of the type of alkyl nitrite present. There is some, incomplete, evidence that particular members of the family of alkyl nitrite substances may be more toxic than others. Products containing alkyl nitrites, some of which have a street name of 'poppers', are inhaled and are used to produce a muscle relaxant effect.
