Applications include lab-work, sampling, testing, and validation. Pre-cleaning is important because even brand-new bottles may contain contaminants from manufacturing or handling which will skew results.

Pre-cleaned glass bottles are supplied with caps attached and can be certified by a third-party before delivery. “Pre-cleaning” is a broad term and may refer to cleaning for contaminants, cleaning for particulate contamination, sterilization, or cleaning for visible particles.

 

• Plastic-Coated Glass Bottles

 

Plastic-coated glass bottles provide protection from mechanical impact (dropped glass) and help reduce leakage of the bottles’ contents when the glass breaks. This is ideal for handling volatile substances as the plastic coating will contain the substance long enough after breaking the glass to arrange safe disposal.

 

Having plastic coating over glass gives users the chemical resistance of glass and the safety of plastic. The maximum temperature for these bottles is lower than glass-only bottles – plastic-coated glass bottles should not be used above 302 degrees Fahrenheit or over direct heat or flame.
