What we actually stock for this

Updated

On this page9
Twenty-four containers and two neck finishes, which is the second smallest shelf in this library.

The shelf, measured

Twenty-four containers from 1,065 to 3,785 mL, all 24 of them HDPE, with 52 closures. There are exactly two neck finishes: 38-400 on 17 containers and 120TT on 5. That is the whole choice.

The forms

9 F-style jugs, 7 industrial rounds, 3 single wall jars, 2 packers, 2 round tubs and 1 specialty bottle. Handled formats, which is what a three-liter jug of concentrate needs.

Why HDPE throughout

Janitorial chemistry runs strongly alkaline, sometimes acidic and sometimes solvent-loaded, and HDPE handles a wide span of that. It also survives being dropped on a concrete floor, which glass does not.

Color

11 white, 10 natural and 3 black. Natural lets a user see the level, which matters for a jug feeding equipment, and white gives the best label surface for a product with required directions for use.

Two finishes is restrictive and also simplifying

There is no real standardization decision to make: 38-400 for the jugs and 120TT at the pail end. One closure, one liner and one label template covers almost everything on this shelf.

What this shelf is not

Not a refillable pesticide container. Nothing here carries a UN specification marking, so it cannot satisfy the subpart C condition for repackaging a registered product. That is stated rather than left to be inferred.

What it is good for

Janitorial concentrate and cleaning chemistry that makes no antimicrobial claim, and reservoirs for dispensing equipment holding the same. A real category, well served by 24 jugs.

A small shelf with almost no decisions in it

Twenty-four containers, one material, two neck finishes. Everything that would normally be a choice is already settled, which leaves the liner against your chemistry as the only real specification work on this shelf.

Paragraph (a)(1) requires a non-DOT-hazardous pesticide in a portable refillable container to be designed, constructed and marked to comply with an enumerated list of 49 CFR requirements for a Packing Group III material, including parts 178 and 180; paragraph (b) requires full 49 CFR parts 171-180 packaging where the product is a DOT hazardous material. law.cornell.edu

Nothing here is a registration, a contract or a finding that a container complies; those are the registrant’s, the lawyer’s and the container manufacturer’s to give.
