GHS requires secondary containers to be labeled with the chemical identity and hazard information of their contents. Heathrow Scientific Safety Labeled Self-Venting Wide Mouth Wash Bottles arrive pre-printed with the chemical name, GHS-style hazard pictograms, and color-coded caps for the eight most common laboratory solvents: Acetone (Red), Distilled Water (Clear), Isopropanol (Yellow), Ethanol (White), Methanol (Green), Sodium Hypochlorite (Blue), Self-Labeling (Clear/blank), and Assorted (one of each). Self-venting caps prevent pressure buildup in sealed solvent bottles during temperature changes and storage — a critical safety feature for volatile solvents. 500mL wide-mouth LDPE body with HDPE closure. Pack of 6. GHS-compliant labeling eliminates the compliance gap of unlabeled secondary containers in regulated environments. Made to Heathrow Scientific specifications.
Features and Benefits
Pre-printed GHS-style safety labels — satisfies secondary container labeling compliance — OSHA HazCom 2012 and GHS require that secondary containers display chemical identity and hazard information; these pre-printed bottles arrive with the chemical name and GHS hazard pictograms already applied, eliminating the time, materials, and compliance risk of manually labeling secondary containers from bulk solvent stocks
Self-venting cap — prevents pressure buildup in volatile solvent bottles — volatile solvents (acetone, IPA, ethanol, methanol) generate vapor pressure inside sealed bottles during storage and temperature changes; the self-venting cap releases this pressure slowly without allowing liquid to escape during normal upright storage; reduces the risk of cap blow-off and spill from a pressure-sealed volatile solvent bottle
8 solvent configurations — covers the most common lab wash bottle solvents — Acetone, Distilled Water, Isopropanol, Ethanol, Methanol, Sodium Hypochlorite, Self-Labeling (blank pre-labeled body for custom chemical), and Assorted (one of each in the pack of 6, minus Self-Labeling); order by specific solvent or Assorted to stock all five primary solvents at once
Color-coded caps match the color-coded unlabeled line — consistent visual management — Red = Acetone, Yellow = IPA, White = Ethanol, Green = Methanol, Blue = Sodium Hypochlorite; this color scheme matches the Heathrow Scientific color-coded unlabeled line (120245–120249) for consistent visual management across labeled and unlabeled bottle populations in the same lab
Wide mouth, 500mL LDPE — same practical format as color-coded line — same body as the color-coded unlabeled bottles: wide mouth for fast filling, 500mL LDPE for solvent compatibility; Sodium Hypochlorite bottle uses natural LDPE body with HDPE closure for bleach compatibility; all others use LDPE body with HDPE closure

Laboratory Applications
GHS/HazCom 2012 Secondary Container Compliance — regulated labs under OSHA HazCom 2012 that have been cited or are preparing for inspection for secondary container labeling compliance; pre-labeled bottles eliminate the manual labeling step entirely and provide a documented compliant solution
Chemistry Teaching Labs — Student Safety — undergraduate chemistry labs where student compliance with secondary container labeling cannot be assumed; pre-labeled safety bottles are the practical solution for ensuring GHS-compliant labeling throughout the teaching lab without relying on student label application
Pharmaceutical QC & Analytical Labs — SOPs Requiring Pre-Labeled Containers — GMP and GLP environments where written SOPs require pre-labeled secondary containers for common analytical solvents used in sample preparation, mobile phase preparation, and instrument cleaning
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the self-venting cap work — and does it prevent spills?
The self-venting cap contains a small pressure-relief mechanism that allows vapor pressure that builds up inside the bottle to escape slowly without releasing liquid. In normal upright storage, solvent vapor exits through the vent while liquid stays inside the bottle. The cap does not vent continuously — it only releases when internal pressure exceeds the vent threshold. It is not designed to prevent spills from tipping or dropping; store bottles upright as with any solvent container.
Is the Assorted pack (120257) always the same combination?
The Assorted pack (120257) contains 6 bottles in a mix of the labeled solvents. The specific combination in the Assorted pack is Acetone, Distilled Water, Isopropanol, Ethanol, Methanol, and Sodium Hypochlorite — one of each of the first five labeled variants plus Sodium Hypochlorite. This gives you a complete five-solvent set plus bleach in a single pack of 6.
Quality Assurance
Heathrow Scientific Safety Labeled Wash Bottles are manufactured with pre-printed labels applied under controlled conditions to ensure label adhesion through normal wash bottle use (repeated filling, handling, and bench exposure to solvent vapors). Self-venting cap mechanisms are tested for pressure relief function. Sodium Hypochlorite bottles use natural LDPE body and HDPE closure selected for bleach compatibility.
