Chemical bottles: plastic vs. glass battle

from Ryuji Suzuki (rsuzuki@rs.cncdsl.com)
There have been a few questions here in the past on this subject, and I have usually been on pro-plastic for people who pay a bit attention to what they do. I finally made a short note collecting information on how to identify the plastic material used, and which bottles are suitable for what purpose, with a few useful links.

Plastic Bottles

I realized that my ascorbic acid developers die much quicker in HDPE bottles compared to PET (PETE) bottles, and in search for a better container I reviewed this topic recently, which lead to me to make a note for myself, as I forget things very quickly.

On the other hand, D-76H, Microphen, etc. in PET bottles are still as active and vigorous as years ago. I am replacing bottles containing developing reagents with PET bottles with PVC or other lining sheet under the cap.

As always, I make small updates to the page incrementally.

Just FYI,
