anyone familiar with PLA ? It is a " plastic " made from corn and recyclable, put in a compost heap it will completely break down in 30 / 40 days. i believe it reacts like PET, but does anyone know anything about it, especially how it reacts with CS? - thanks - Richard

I have a SilverPuppy generator, and I'm wondering whether PET plastic
bottles are OK or not to store my CS.
According to the instructions that came with it, it says PET plastic
bottles are OK.


PET plastic containers are preferred plastic in the cosmetics and food container industry.They were developed to overcome the shortcomings of previous plastics. However, there is evidence to suggest these are not inert, either. The problem is , it depends on the direction of the research. Moreover it depends upon the state of the compounds in them. Extremely complex in the case of cosmetic formulations, less so in water.

Glass is always preferable, because it is largely inert, simple, cheap, and effective as a barrier. It is completely recyclable.
