The shelf

On this page11
No metal, and 6 glass containers over a pint. Both facts matter to the table.

What is here

1,389 rows: 750 containers and 639 closures. 10 mL to 9,464 mL with a median of 120.

By material

390 PET, 156 HDPE, 127 glass, 76 PP and 1 LDPE. No metal, which is the row of Table H-12 that would matter most for a Category 1 or 2 flammable.

By format

510 bottles, 219 jars, 16 tubs and pails, 4 jugs and 1 tube. The bottles serve the four transfers and the jars serve the dry half.

Against the table's capacities

85 containers over a pint, 23 over a quart, 3 over a gallon and none over five gallons. 665 are a pint or less.

The glass, which is the serious end

127 containers, 68 of them Boston rounds and 24 straight sided jars, with only 6 over a pint. Inert, solvent-proof and the right answer for most of the liquid half.

PET is the majority and the wrong default

390 of 750. Fine for a water-based product and wrong for most solvents, which removes half the shelf as soon as the carrier is known.

HDPE is the workhorse

156 containers, 46 of them packer bottles. Tolerant of oils and many chemicals, cheap, and squeezable, which matters for dispensing at a bench.

Amber for the things that care about light

118 amber plus 16 dark amber. The archetype marks this craft light sensitive and the finishes and some fluxes genuinely are.

What we cannot tell you

That any of it is an approved container for flammable liquid storage. Table H-12's first row says "glass or approved plastic" and (d)(2)(i) says only approved containers shall be used. Material and capacity are ours; approval is not.

How to shop it

Carrier first, which eliminates a resin. Category second, which caps the capacity. Then the closure and its liner, which is where it fails.

29 CFR 1910.106(d)(2), Table H-12, maximum allowable size of containers and portable tanks for flammable liquids. Glass or approved plastic: 1 pt for Category 1, 1 qt for Category 2, 1 gal for Categories 3 and 4. Metal other than DOT drums: 1 gal for Category 1, 5 gal for Categories 2 through 4. Safety cans: 2 gal for Category 1, 5 gal thereafter. Metal drums to DOT specification: 60 gal. Approved portable tanks: 660 gal. Paragraph (d)(2)(i) adds that "only approved containers and portable tanks shall be used" and that metal containers meeting the requirements of 49 CFR chapter I "shall be deemed to be acceptable". osha.gov
Written from 29 CFR 1910.106(d)(2) and Table H-12, 29 CFR 1910.1200(f) and Appendix B Table B.6.1, and from the catalog as it stood on 18 October 2026. Nothing here establishes that a container is an approved container for flammable liquid storage, which is a word the regulation uses and our data does not support. Fire codes, state plans and insurers sit on top of all of this.
