Bromine Storage.


Good day to everyone!

I was planing to make some small amount of bromine(20-30ml or so)
since it is pretty toxic and pretty volatile molecule I kept searching for some good storage bottles I know ampules are pretty good
but I have planned to store it in a freezer(-27C) and since ampules are glass it is not really practical.

Any suggestions are really helpful!
Thanks!

PC: I heard FEP bottles are quite good but I have no idea where to buy them.Excuse my English not my native language.

Respect to all!

This question has been discussed in several threads already. A search should bring them up.

Some have found ptfe lined screw cap bottles to be satisfactory. Others prefer ampules.

I was storing my Br2 in a bottle with a ptfe lined cap. It eventually leaked as the plastic cap was destroyed. I now am ampuling my Br2 in 10mL ampules.

I store my Br2 in an outside shed. Ambient temperature ranges from -18°C to 43°C.

Welcome to the forum. ;)
