Absorb plasticides off the sides of the plastic dropper bottles. Does anyone know of a safe plastic ml drop bottle, or am I ok with these and in a 1 ounce bottle 1 part everclear and 4 parts propylene glycol. IS that safe? These are bottles i have. I like to save money is the reason i'm buying so many and it's a lot cheaper. Over a lot of months maybe a year it'll take me to use these.

Boundary condition
Plasticizers/pesticides 
Stick with glass if you can. Plasticizers will leach out of the plastic.

if i had that solution in that plastic bottle for one day then put it in a glass one, it's not like it would kill me right?

Not straight away, no, but
Look, no-one here is ever going to endorse the use of plastic, ever, not for all the dollars in Washington.
Plasticizers, and other endocrine disruptors are active at the nano-gram level. If you're cool with cancer in your new tits and micro-penis, for the sake of a few bucks, then go ahead, but stop looking for green-lights, because you won't find any here.
Make of that what you will.
maybe?!

the year thing meant i will use these bottles of the course of a year for different things. I noticed in this forum they don't like you talking about bulk anything.
Will PG(propylene glycol) absorb plastic crap too? One day of 10ml everclear and 20 ml PG in a sturdy plastic bottle, would it actually do anything for a one time?
Chan said:
I'm talking about one time, the rest of the time the bottles will be used for pg only. I had something that needed everclear to dissolve. So i will only be doing it once. I won't be doing it with every bottle. I know it isn't good for me but what i'm asking is how bad can it be for one time thing?

Never ever use plastic with solvents.
Even HDPE which is commonly used in plastic bottles to keep alcohol and other solvents cant keep up to acetone or diethylether for a long time.
I use plastic only for dry powders that I dont even ingest.
For oils and stuff that im taking later I use glass bottles with a PTFE disk in the cap to seal everything.
My solvents like alcohol and acetone are kept in their respective metal containers.
The ware I cook stuff in is entirely borosilicate.
PET like the stuff you bought dissolves even in alcohol. Thats why you never see alcohol in plastic bottles. Even cheap beer comes in glass bottles. PET also gets reduced to a small pile of good in minutes by acetone.
Whats nice about the setup I use it that if i want to store something else in the bottles I have I can just take of the cap and clean the glass with acid or other solvents wash the cap and switch the PTFE seal. That way you can store acetone in a bottle and later your DMT pulls after you cleaned it witout any problem.

no.
there are always exceptions. ethyl ether, ethyl acetate, and acetone may dissolve some plastics, but ethanol and methanol do not.
don't store conc. phosphoric acid in polypropylene. it will crack it.

then that's butanone degrading plastic, not ethanol.
one can purchase ethanol and methanol in hdpe containers, some vendors do ship alcohols in hdpe containers (Spectrum, Alliance, etc.) same with PG.

there's no butanone in everclear. It's 95% EtOH, the rest is water, perhaps a trace of methanol.
Our lab uses 70% EtOH in PE bottles.
