A company I know recently let me know they have 18 x 55 gallon drums of unused Propionic Acid 99.5% (and Inert Ingredients 0.5%). The material was purchased for mold control but will not be used. I think the company would sell for half price. If you have interest in this material please email and I will put you in contact with the company. Email: jewills@mail.com
Keep in mind this is going to be considered straight, non-buffered propionic acid. If you were looking to use this as a hay preservative, the applications systems on the market today will NOT hold up to this. It will eat away all the seals in the pumps and it is a very corrosive product. This would be the prop portion of the current buffered hay acids. I would be very cautious if using this as a hay preservative. Back in the day when this was used as hay preservatives, my father was building application systems for it and back then (mid-early 80s) the wholesale price on the pump alone was more than our current 25 gallon system. Rubber gloves, safety glasses and cartridge respirators were required when handling this product and a corrosive placard was required for transportation.

Yes and the OP deleted his post...because I re-posted it because I assumed he was having trouble and he has deleted again. Might be something to do with him posting his email address.
