Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Storing Muriatic Acid & Hydrogen peroxide

2011-08-15 by Stefan Trethan

Strong HCL (or was it H2O2?) will damage HDPE in the long run. The
plastic becomes brittle from the inside.
So if you are thinking long term (5+ years) use a glass container.

Mind that the H2O2 in the mixture will give off oxygen long after
using it, any glass container should have a pressure relief lid.

What I want to know is once I mix the muriatic acid & hydrogen peroxide, what is the best container to store it in; I know to not use anything metal.  I was thinking of a container that is water tight once it is closed but I don't know of anything that will work easily enough.
