Ammonia storage


I got 5ltr Ammonia arrive, its wrapped up like a mummy in black wrap, alarm bells went off and i undid some the wrap. The container looks like milk bottle plastic, and its already a bit white!!

Had i known it was going to be sent like this I wouldnt have got so much. 5Ltr is kind of alot to find storage for, whats best to store it in? The strength is 27% Ammonia according to the label.

Could i seal up empty wine bottles for now? The only good thing is my lab is literally colder than the fridge!

I store mine in HDPE - works well enough.

That would probably also work. Looking at this chart of compatibility I have, ammonia is not actually that hard to store.
