Description
Politainer, 5 L, GL38 is a space-saving foldable canister system that combines a flexible plastic inner bag with a sturdy UN-approved outer carton. The inner container is produced from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and EVA copolymer, providing reliable barrier properties against volatile solvents while remaining lightweight and collapsible when empty. Nominal volume is 5 L (5000 ml) and the neck is finished with the widely used GL38 thread for straightforward connection to laboratory tubing, pumps or dispensing accessories. External dimensions of the filled unit are 178 × 178 × 178 mm, allowing compact storage and efficient palletisation. Empty Politainers fold flat, dramatically reducing warehouse footprint before use; once filled they offer secure containment for transport and temporary storage of solvents and process liquids. This foldable canister solution from manufacturer SCAT is especially practical in laboratories and production areas where floor space is limited yet safe, UN-compliant packaging remains essential. The single-unit pack is ready for immediate integration into solvent-handling workflows.

Questions about Politainer 5 L, GL38
What is this article?
Politainer 5 L, GL38 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes SCAT for laboratory use. It sits in Bottle accessories (pouring rings, dispensers, caps), inside Bottles & containers, in Labware.
Bottle accessories are the pieces on the neck: a pouring ring, a dispenser seat, a cap liner, a tamper ring. They decide how the bottle delivers and whether the closure still matches after the original cap is gone.
A laboratory bottle is a closed container with a stated volume and a neck that takes a cap, a stopper or a dispenser. Borosilicate glass is the choice when the liquid is a solvent, or when the bottle will be heated or autoclaved. Polyethylene and polypropylene are the choice when the bottle must not shatter, or when hydrofluoric acid would attack glass. A narrow mouth pours. A wide mouth is for powders and for reaching the bottom. Laboratory ware of this kind is indexed under ISO laboratory glassware. Traceable volume sits with the BIPM and NIST Physical Measurement.
