GLASS Bottles (refills), ** special, allow up to 2 weeks for delivery **

SUMMARY

TRADE ONLY! Anyone over the age of 18 may buy acids for testing precious metals for trade, business or professional use but we might need to verify this - see "Restrictions" for details.

THESE ARE NOT A STANDARD BOTTLES! These are not the standard plastic bottles that most people use (see the tab PLASTIC OR GLASS?). We manufacture several hundred plastic bottles per month but only a handful of glass bottles, so few that we only make them to order, so add 1 to 2 weeks to the delivery time. 

Compatible with all QUICKTEST and TROYTEST testers.

These are replacement bottles of acid only. They do not come with any instructions or accessories, they are to be used with an existing set, they must be stored in their secure box in accordance with the safety instructions that came with the set.

PLASTIC OR GLASS?

GLASS

Pros:

• has a very fine applicator, good for applying really tiny spots of acid. 

Cons:

• when opened they 'fume' (you must take great care not to breathe the fumes)
• the bottles do not have childproof caps, you must keep them in the box when not in use and lock the box
• If knocked over, all the acid will spill, causing great damage or injury
• If dropped the bottle could smash
• If over-heated (e.g. in the car in a heatwave) a bottle could explode
• Expensive compared with the plastic bottles (same acid, same quantity)
• Not popular, we don't make many, add 1 to 2 weeks to the delivery time. 

PLASTIC
(see plastic bottles)

Pros:

• Much safer than glass bottles (if knocked over, it can only spill one single drop)
• The bottles have childproof caps
• Always in stock. 

Cons:

• Dispenses drops of one size, you can't adjust the size.
