Chemical Storage Bottle 5L

Description

Chemical Storage Bottle 5L

Chemical Storage Bottle 5L is an HDPE (that’s High-Density Polyethylene) plastic bottle. It’s what you need to store all types of photographic chemistry. Basic and cheap, these bottles are the standard choice when you want to store darkroom chemicals like developer or fixer.

Chemical Storage Bottles come in a variety of sizes. We have 1L, 2.5L and 5L versions. It is best to get the size closest to the amount of liquid you have to store. Most photographic chemicals will oxidise when you store them over time. Oxidisation is caused by contact with the air. As this the main factor in chemical depletion, you want to get bottles that you will fill to the top. Thus, removing as much air from the container as possible. This is generally good practice when keeping chemicals, and it will mean you chemicals last longer, saving you money.
