piranha but it’s not an adequate solution given the container degredation even for the short term which is what I needed this for.

<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning. Yes, we have experienced issues with long term storage with Nanostrip. We had inventory that was not used as anticipated and we found that at the end of a year the seams on three separate bottles had started to separate
and leak. We no longer keep any extra inventory on hand. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone experienced problems with storing nanostrip solution (a stabilized form of piranha)? We recently purchased a gallon of it, the first shipment did not arrive due to “damaged packaging during shipment” the second round did in fact
arrive but the bottle itself (which is just a plastic HDPE 4L chemical bottle) appears to be degrading, chemical label is completely gone and the plastic lining is – is this something that can be stored in a glass container? It seems interesting that something
specifically engineered and used for dissolving organics and removing polymers is stored in a plastic container.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks, <u></u><u></u></p>
