Sodium Nitrate, Empty Plastic Container

Post by Robb »

Hi All,

Although this my be one of the rarest occasions where I get to ask a question but it feels good to be on this end of it all for once:

I have excess stock of Sodium Nitrate (Solid) in a cracked Sodium Nitrate (500g) plastic container totally cracked Label and all, but my question is this. Has anyone got a empty Sodium Nitrate plastic 500g container they could send to me, the thing being is that I need a container. Sure I can make a lable and adhere this to the bottle (biuld a bridge and get over it) but my request is that I NEED a replacement plastic bottle WITH Label.

If anyone can help this would be advantageous.

Cheers in advance for any help wioth this one.

Robb.....

Hi Robb, I have a lot of empty clean containers. Most are 500g, clean and with out any labels. I could send you a few if you would like. I can not remember what was in them, but it could have been Sodium Nitrate. How many would you like?

Hi All,

Hi Labbie,

Thank you for your generosity, I have empty containers here and sooo many of them as well, but I am looking specifically for a container with the label on. I can see that this maybe a stab in the dark. Iff all else fails I guess I may need to generate a label. The thing is I have excess LR grade Sodium Nitrate I always top up with into these containers and with the self designed labels they don't last very long. Thisis why I need a container with the label already adhgered to the bottle. This way the plastic protective label will not fade or deteriorate from excessive use.

Cheers,

Robb.....

Sorry Robb, now I am with you. I did wonder why you did not keep containers as they become empty. Penny dropped.

have you tried putting contact over your labels? Might help them last a bit longer. I do that with my dropper bottles.

Yes I use contact on my all labels too. I found it useful too when I had to relabel many bottles when CSIS came in - large and small.
