What we actually stock for this

Updated

On this page9
A single-material shelf: 82 HDPE bottles and jugs, which is the right default for these chemistries.

The shelf, measured

Eighty-two containers from 250 to 3,785 mL, all 82 of them HDPE, with 169 closures. The dominant necks are 38-400 at 22, 28-410 at 16, 24-410 at 13 and 45-400 at 9, with a 120TT at the jug end.

Why it is all HDPE

Glycols, methanol and hydrocarbon carriers are all comfortable in HDPE, it takes a knock in a vehicle bay, and it is cheap at a gallon. Nothing on this shelf is glass and nothing should be.

Color

41 white, 32 natural and 9 black. Natural lets a user see the level, which matters for a product poured into a reservoir, and white gives a better label surface. Black is the choice where light sensitivity or appearance decides.

Every container is over the 177 mL threshold

Which means S5.2.1 reaches all 82 if you are packaging brake fluid: resealable closure, impervious inner seal, tamper-proof feature. There is no small-format exemption on this shelf.

And none reaches the 19 L exemption

The largest here is 3,785 mL, about a gallon, so the do-not-refill caution is required on every brake fluid container you could build from this shelf.

The closure field is where the work is

Of the 169 closures, 67 carry an HIS heat-induction-seal liner, 28 a pressure-sensitive liner, 15 are flip tops and 11 are spouted. That distribution is the most useful thing on this page.

Where to settle the thread match

Every container page lists the closures verified against its own neck, so the fit is done. What is left for you is the liner against your fluid and, where a rule applies, tested performance from the closure supplier.

A single-material shelf is easier than it looks

With material settled, the remaining choices are capacity, neck and liner, and the neck is already matched for you on every container page. That makes this one of the quickest shelves in the library to shop properly.
