Would these jars work for Chem storage
I ended up with several dozen of these PP jars from a soapmaker going out of business on the cheap. I know this is a real basic/rookie question but
can these jars be used for dry chemical storage? And if so what kind of chems should not be stored in them! Thanks in advance....

They seem fine for nonreactive solids (sodium nitrate, ammonium chloride, benzoic acid, etc.). I wouldn't use them to store air or moisture-sensitive
compounds, coumpounds with high vapor pressure (iodine, etc.) or liquids (pouring liquids out of them will be hard).

Normal glass jars work perfectly on their own but the lids are always the biggest problem they like corroding so keep that in mind.
