Scilabware, a manufacturer of laboratory glassware and reusable plastics, has revamped its Azlon range of wide-mouth wash bottles ahead of changes to European labelling legislation.
The new Globally Harmonised System (GHS), which comes into full effect from June 2015, replaces the old-style black and orange square COSHH symbols with new red and black diamond-shaped pictograms.
Solvent and safety information is printed in English, French, German and Spanish.
Fitted with one-piece colour-coded closures, the wash bottles are printed with either acetone IMS, methanol, isopropanol, ethanol distilled water, de-ionised water or water.
Also printed on the bottles are chemical formulae and CAS numbers to facilitate identification, plus a 'signal' word (such as 'Danger') to alert users to any possible hazards and 'H' phrases for simple reference to possible health risks.
The reverse of the bottle carries safety information statements in four languages.
The 250ml and 500ml wide-mouth bottles are manufactured in low-density polyethylene and are available with or without the patented Driplok two-way valve technology, which prevents hazardous solvent drips.
Scilabware also offers custom wash bottles printed with a choice of languages and logo.
