Where to buy plastic storage/reagent bottles?

Post by magician13134 »

Hi, I'm looking to get some plastic bottles to store dry chemicals like FeCl3 and Tinnit, I want something that looks like this, but I don't need 10 and I'd like to see some smaller sizes as well (100 or 250mL)

PET (plastic soda bottles) are available in a wide variety of sizes, are nicely air-tite, and are VERY resistant to most chemicals.
Just be sure to remove the old labels, add accurate NEW labels, and store well away from actual soda bottles that still contain soda.

(WestfW still remembers the time he got the bottle of refrigerated water and the bottle of witch hazel mixed up. Yech!)

American Science & Surplus usually has good deals on containers of various types, frequently including the sort that's usually used to store and transport chemicals in the first place.

Lots of other stuff that you didn't know you needed, too.

(I have no affiliation with the company, other than being a satisfied customer for the last....erm....almost 25 years, now)

Consolidated Plastics has a pretty big variety of plastic bottles, including many specifically designed for storing chemicals.
