Menda HDPE Pure-Touch liquid dispensing bottles are available printed with chemical names such as Item 35395 “Acetone,” Item 35396 “Isopropanol,” and Item 35397 “DI water.” Imprints are said to be non-smearing and non-running. Are ideal for using multiple chemicals on a single workstation or work area. A square shape provides stability and allows compact storage. Pure-Touch pumps reportedly prevent liquid already pumped into the dish to drain into the bottle. Bottle capacity is 4 oz.
