Storing ferrichloride, plastic or glass container?

[jpm83]

I'm maybe going to do my next project to PCB, so I'm asking whitch one would be better for storing ferrichloride plastic or glass container?

They're the same (for all intents and purposes), in terms of acid reactivity.  The real difference would be that glass bottles break when you drop them

Thanks for answering. I was wondering because some plastics seem to go weak quite fast.

I use a large glass container, so I can warm it up directly on a heater and "cook" the PCB in it. then you let it cool down, plug it up and it's done.

Would a that kind of old fashioned jelly jar with glass lid and rubber seal be good?

I would suggest storing the ferric chloride in a copper container.

PS: Of course I am just joking around here...

Oh no, store it in an aluminum cylinder.

Yes, I'm kidding.
Don't put it into an aluminum container ... ever.

I figure if it comes in plastic, I store it in plastic.

FeCl isn't really that caustic to most materials, but it stains the life out of a lot of them.
It's nothing like HydroChloric or HydroFlouric acids.
Those are truly nasty in every way shape and form, especially the latter.
HF will etch glass just with the fumes. Nasty.

I use Gatorade bottles. Good thing Gatorade doesn't come in brown.

I took an old metholated spirits bottle and used that. Already has warnings all over it and a child proof lid.
