Hello.
If CDS loses effect at above 11ºC, do the CDS drops in a water bottle lose effect too? Should the bottle always be in the fridge? Is not it possible for you to carry it everywhere?
Thank you.

It's not going to lose all of its effectiveness the moment it exceeds 11 degrees, by all means take it with you and if you can keep it cool during the day all the better.

Even if it halved the ppm concentration it started with it's still doing something, better than taking nothing.

I actually have a child's padded lunchbox (just big enough for a juice box and a sandwich) - and I keep my CDS in that when I'm going out and about. I also have some wonderful "techni-ice" (originally from Australia, but I got mine on Amazon) - and use that for cooling, but you can put any "ice gel packet" into the container. If I remember, I'll take a picture. I make my day's dosing in a 16 oz syrup bottle from the pharmacy - drink 2 oz at a time. I do try to get extra water, though, during the course of the day!

Another thing I do is, after making my CDS, I put 2 oz of it into a small PET bottle, and call that my "working bottle" - it's what I use to make up my daily doses. That way, the majority of the CDS is left in the fridge, and if I accidentally leave the CDS out on the counter, I've only left out the 2oz bottle. And I have accidentally left it out once or twice - (capped, but out of the fridge) - I pulled up a couple of CCs of the CDS and it was still bright yellow, so I didn't worry about losing all the strength, just went on and used it.

Is the same for MMS (a water bottle with activated MMS drops)?

Activated MMS is actually more sensitive to UV rays than to temp. I keep mine in the fridge just for the light reduction. If I were to take it out and about, I would probably have it in some sort of carrier (lunch box or something) just to keep it dark. I wouldn't worry so much about the coolness. But that's me.

still speaking storage. who can tell me why my mms, stored in the refrig. @ 40 degrees fahrenheit has ice crystals in it? I bought the crystals, perked in coffee maker and ended up with 420cc or so, not 400cc. does ti crystalize at 40 degrees'?

I think this bottle solves the problem of storage of the CDS

Creaco Safebreak® Protected Bottles



Why protect bottles?

Glass is the preferred medium for the packaging of liquid chemicals. It is basically inert, transparent and has good surface quality allowing for easy cleaning. It's disadvantage is the vulnerability to breakage.
If a bottle of dangerous chemicals is dropped (mineral acids, strong alkali etc) the results can range from widespread contamination of glass and chemical contents in sensitive areas, to a worse case scenario of serious injury to laboratory personnel, especially given the hazardous nature of some of the chemicals used, or other traumatic consequences.

Creaco primarily developed Safebreak® protected bottles for the chemical industry, for safety in such places as laboratories.


Creaco Safebreak® Protected bottles provide the solution.

The Creaco Safebreak® protected bottle provides a solution to this problem. The protective coating on the bottle will contain all the glass and hazardous chemicals in case of an accident, minimising risk and contamination, and making clearing up the hazard much easier.
The protective surlyn® coating on the bottle has a good resistance to most solvents and only the most aggressive acids can affect it after a significant period of exposure. This means that the bottles contents, even if hazardous, will be contained within the protective 'skin' in the event of an accident. In addition it has a high tear strength and exceptional clarity.

The coating has the added advantage of raising the breakage threshold of the glass container making it safer in transit.

Creaco supply Safebreak® bottles to the chemical industry ranging in size from 10ml to 4000ml. We have supplied the coating service to major chemical companies in the UK and Europe for over twenty years and are acknowledged throughout this field.


Creaco protects a wide range of bottles

Creaco Safebreak® protected bottles are not just limited to the chemical industry. Cosmetic companies are supplying and developing new products in glass aerosol bottles. The propellant (containing no CFC's) operates at a high pressure and could previously only be supplied in tin plate containers.

Glass is the preferred medium for many cosmetics as it's aesthetic properties together with it's weight and clarity convey the impression of purity and quality of product. A disadvantage of glass is that it can break, and if the container is pressurised, the consequences of breakage can be serious.

Creaco Ltd have a solution to this problem. A thick covering of DuPont Surlyn®, a tough absolutely transparent plastic with a high tear strength is applied to the glass. The plastic coating faithfully follows the contours of the bottle, completely covering any difficult shapes.

Should the aerosol be broken all the glass fragments and normally all the contents are contained. In extreme cases a small seepage of product may occur but there is no danger of flying glass.

The coating is environmentally friendly and contains no ozone depleting chlorine or fluorine compounds. It also meets all food and drug industry standards and passes all appropriate flammability tests.

Creaco Ltd can also apply coloured coatings, either transparent, translucent or solid colour and metallic or pearlescent effects to glass, giving exciting marketing potential. In addition the coating readily accepts a wide range of labeling methods.

Creaco offer a protection service for your custom aerosol bottles.

Acids in Safety Bottles

Customer issue
Glass bottles have very long useful lives. As containers for all manner of chemicals, they remain a valuable inert material for everyday use in the laboratory. Yet however much care is taken, breakage does occur. It is something that simply has to reckoned with. Serious injury, contamination or consequential damage can be the result. You can avoid it with us!

Our solution
All our experience in dealing with the hazard potential of acids in glass bottles has been incorporated in the specifications of the new “Safebreak” bottle, the safest safety bottle!
“Safebreak” is a glass bottle coated with polyethylene. Should e.g. the bottle fall and break, the liquid and glass splinters are reliably retained within the polyethylene coating. Each Safebreak bottle is fitted with a screw cap made of polyethylene but with an integrated PTFE component. This cap renders the bottle absolutely airtight so that no liquid or vapour can escape.

Benefits for you
The computer-designed exclusive Safebreak bottle combines all the advantages in one: It meets all safety requirements and it ensures that the customer receives exactly the same quality of content as that dispatched from us. It can be incorporated in all logistic systems.
The Safebreak bottle withstands considerable impact force. Should a breakage occur, the acid and any glass splinters can be reliably contained and the user cannot be injured by escaping acid. Even after frequent opening and closing, the screw cap remains perfectly intact so that the environment is protected from leakage and contamination. The bottle can be easily and ecologically disposed of and re-used, just as the conventional glass bottle, and the PE is burnt off without affecting the environment. No vapor can contaminate the workplace environment!

Brown glass or brown glass with “SafeBreak” coating
Brown coloured to protect light-sensitive materials. The bottles are strengthened with "SafeBreak“ coating for resistance to acids and corrosive liquids. If the bottles are broken, this coating prevents the contents from being spilled and glass splinters from escaping. Eurobottles are supplied with a plastic screw cap and snap-seal action. The dimensions of the bottle neck are the same as for BDH Winchester bottles; the closures and dispensers etc. for these bottles also fit Eurobottles.
· More stable than conventional Winchester bottles, the risk of tipping these bottles over is significantly lower
· Available in normal glass or with "SafeBreak“ coating
· With screw cap and snap-seal action
