Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the importance of chemical container safety: Used chemical containers may have residues from the previous chemical stored inside.
Recognize that these residues can react with the new chemical, potentially causing contamination or hazardous reactions.
Note that refilling containers is not limited to flammable chemicals; it is a general safety rule to prevent contamination.
Consider that even if a container looks clean, microscopic residues can remain and compromise the purity and safety of the new chemical.
Therefore, the best practice is to avoid refilling used chemical containers to ensure chemical integrity and safety.
