Hi :  Here is a good web site to start getting some
information on some of the properties of various types
plastic containers.
http://www.plasticbottle.com/techinfo/resin.html  .  While
it does not go into the various chemical compositions of
each them you could contact the manufacture for more
information.  It seems like all of them have strengths and
weaknesses .

Though breakable I still like the idea of using glass to
store my CS in. It may be that glass especially  if it is
made from recycled glass may have some problems . Does
anyone know?   Alan
