Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I don't know...just because you cannot see the plastic degrade does not mean it is not leeching into the DMSO. But everyone can just make up their own minds. For me, I will stick to glass. -- [ ] Re: DMSO question I've found that DMSO attacks the stuck on labels on a plastic bottle, but it doesn't seem to affect the bottle itself. It probably has to do with the type of plastic used. As you know, type 1 and 2 should never be reused, which is what most bottled water comes in, but type 7 is very hard and good to use over and over, and is what good water bottles are made of, such as Camelbak. I think you could use DMSO to tattoo! ha ha Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 You make an excellent point about glass. There is sometimes lead in many types of glass and you wouldn't want that to be leaching into anything. It's one of the reasons I never drink out of crystal glassware. I always keep the brown bottles that my hydrogen peroxide comes in. I store many things in those bottles that need to be kept out of the light or stored in a freezer. I would think the fine people at dmso.org would be aware of any issues with plastic and if they are selling it in plastic, I would be confident that they know what they are doing.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I have a plastic bottle of dmso that was given to me over 20 years ago by a vet. It kept just fine. In fact, the size is so convenient that I keep refilling it. Chuck If it's not a problem, it's not a problem.
