[NHCOLL-L:3290] RE: Gallon Size Clear Plastic Containers

[CAHawks at aol.com]

Hi Christine,
 
I agree with John, PET is a good alternative. Gaylord makes straight-sided  
PET containers for fluid-preserved specimens, but doesn't list a gallon-size on 
 their Web site. You might contact Christine Allen directly to see what she 
can  find for you _Christine.Allen at gaylord.com_ 
(mailto:Christine.Allen at gaylord.com) .

Christine, 
You might consider  PET containers as an alternative—less oxygen permeance, 
clearer, more durable,  and available in many sizes. I have seen gallon size PET
—you might check with  Gaylord.  Also, check out their large polycarbonate  
containers.

we are in search of clear plastic  (polypropylene preferred) containers for 
the storage of alcohol  collections.  Can anyone provide a lead for such 
containers before we  broaden our so far successful search? 
many thanks for any information  that you can provide, Chris
