About this product
Bottle, Amber Glass
Description:
Amber Glass Bottles are high-quality containers made from amber-colored glass, commonly used for storing light-sensitive materials. The amber color provides protection from ultraviolet (UV) light, preventing degradation and maintaining the stability of sensitive substances. These bottles are widely used in industries like pharmaceuticals, laboratories, and food storage, particularly for chemicals, essential oils, and other materials that are sensitive to light exposure.
Specifications:

-
Features:
-
✅ UV Protection: Amber glass effectively blocks UV light, which helps preserve the quality and stability of light-sensitive materials
-
✅ Chemical Resistance: Glass is highly resistant to many chemicals, making it ideal for use with a wide variety of substances, including acids, solvents, and oils
-
✅ Durability: While glass is breakable, amber glass is durable and resistant to most corrosive substances, making it suitable for long-term storage
-
✅ Temperature Resistance: Borosilicate amber glass versions are resistant to thermal shock, allowing them to be used in both high and low-temperature environments
-
✅ Reusable: Amber glass bottles can be cleaned and reused, making them an environmentally friendly choice for storage
-
✅ Aesthetic Appeal: Amber glass bottles are often chosen for their sleek, attractive appearance in product packaging, especially in cosmetics and fragrance lines
-

Safety Notes:
-
Handling: Amber glass bottles can be fragile and may break under impact. Handle with care, especially when the contents are under pressure or when the bottle is dropped
-
Chemical Compatibility: Although glass is generally resistant to most chemicals, ensure that the specific type of glass is compatible with the chemical being stored (e.g., borosilicate for highly reactive substances)
-
Storage: Store bottles in a safe place where they will not be exposed to extreme temperatures, direct impacts, or vibrations that could cause them to break
-
Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the bottles before reusing, especially if storing different substances to prevent contamination
