HDPE Wide Mouth Jar 4000mL by JG Finneran 9-206 with White PP Closure

Description

Product Overview

The JG Finneran 9-206 HDPE Standard Wide Mouth Jar is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern laboratory and environmental testing environments. Constructed from high‑density polyethylene, the jar offers exceptional chemical resistance, impact durability, and a lightweight profile that simplifies handling and transport. With a generous 4000 mL (128 oz) capacity, this wide mouth container provides ample space for bulk samples, reagents, or waste liquids, while the clear polymer body enables quick visual assessment of contents without opening the jar.

Designed with a 110‑400 mm thread, the jar accommodates a broad range of cap sizes, making it a versatile choice for laboratories that maintain diverse inventories of closures. The included white polypropylene closure is paired with an F217‑lined gasket, delivering a reliable, leak‑proof seal that protects against evaporation, contamination, and exposure to hazardous substances. The closure’s smooth, ergonomic design facilitates easy opening and closing, even when wearing gloves, and its white color offers a visual cue for proper alignment during assembly.

Manufactured by J.G. Finneran Associates, Inc., a trusted name in scientific glassware and polymer containers, this jar adheres to rigorous quality standards. The product dimensions of 3.94 × 3.94 × 3.94 inches and a lightweight 10.58 oz net weight ensure compact storage on shelves or in cabinets, while the robust construction withstands repeated autoclaving, chemical cleaning, and temperature fluctuations common in laboratory workflows. The jar is not discontinued, and its best‑seller rank reflects strong demand among researchers, quality control professionals, and environmental monitoring teams.

Usage

In a research laboratory, the 4000 mL HDPE wide mouth jar serves as an ideal vessel for preparing large‑volume reagent solutions, storing bulk chemicals, or collecting waste streams for disposal. Its wide opening simplifies the addition of solid materials, such as powders or granules, and allows for the use of magnetic stir bars or other mixing devices without the need for additional adapters. The chemical‑resistant HDPE material ensures compatibility with a wide spectrum of solvents, acids, bases, and organic compounds, reducing the risk of container degradation or sample contamination.

Environmental field technicians frequently rely on this jar for water sampling, soil slurry collection, and portable storage of hazardous waste. The secure F217‑lined closure prevents leaks during transport in rugged conditions, while the clear body enables rapid verification of sample volume and integrity. Because the jar meets the 110‑400 mm cap standard, users can interchange closures with other laboratory bottles, streamlining inventory management and reducing the need for multiple specialized containers.

Quality control laboratories in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetics industries benefit from the jar’s ability to maintain sample stability over extended periods. The HDPE construction resists permeation of gases and moisture, preserving the potency and composition of sensitive formulations. Additionally, the jar’s durability allows for repeated sterilization cycles, making it suitable for aseptic processing and compliance with regulatory standards such as ISO 13485 and GMP guidelines.

FAQ

What types of chemicals are compatible with this HDPE jar?

The HDPE material is compatible with most acids, bases, solvents, and organic compounds commonly used in laboratory settings. It resists corrosion from strong acids such as hydrochloric and sulfuric acid, as well as bases like sodium hydroxide. However, for highly aggressive chemicals like concentrated hydrofluoric acid or certain strong oxidizers, it is advisable to consult the material safety data sheet (MSDS) to confirm compatibility.

Can the jar be autoclaved for sterilization?

Yes, the jar is designed to withstand standard autoclave cycles (121 °C, 15 psi) without deformation or loss of structural integrity. The F217‑lined closure also tolerates the heat and pressure of autoclaving, maintaining a tight seal after repeated cycles. For best results, ensure the closure is fully tightened before autoclaving and allow the jar to cool gradually to avoid thermal shock.

Is the closure reusable, and how should it be maintained?

The white polypropylene closure is fully reusable. To maintain its performance, clean the closure with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly after each use. Inspect the F217 liner for signs of wear or damage, and replace the liner if any cracks or deformations are observed. Proper storage of the closure in a dry environment will extend its service life.

What is the recommended storage temperature range for this jar?

The HDPE jar can be safely stored at temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +80 °C. This wide temperature tolerance makes it suitable for both refrigerated sample storage and elevated temperature applications, such as incubations or heat‑stable reagent preparations. Extreme temperatures outside this range may affect the material properties and should be avoided.

How does the jar’s capacity compare to other standard laboratory bottles?

With a 4000 mL (128 oz) capacity, this jar offers a larger volume than typical 1‑L or 2‑L laboratory bottles, reducing the number of containers needed for bulk storage or large‑scale experiments. The wide mouth design further simplifies handling of large volumes, making it an efficient choice for high‑throughput workflows and bulk reagent preparation.
