Nalgene square bottles come in a variety of formats and materials to accommodate a wide range of application needs. Their square shape saves shelf and counter space compared with round bottles of the same volume. The wide-mouth designs are easier to fill and are recommended for solid, semi-solid and viscous liquid materials. Those with mouth openings less than 100mm are guaranteed leakproof*. Narrow-mouth bottles provide better control when pouring and all come with the liquid leakproof* guarantee.
Thermo Scientific Nalgene bottles are made only from the highest quality plastic materials that meet pharmaceutical, laboratory and food grade standards; our plastic resins are selected to minimize additives and reduce potential leachables.
Nalgene bottles are manufactured in our ISO 13485:2003 registered manufacturing facilities. Most of our plastic resin materials are DMF registered and meet a number of regulatory specifications including: USP Class VI, EP monographs, EU food-contact directives, CONEG, RoHS, CA Prop 65, SARA Title III Sec. 313, and 21 CFR pt 177. Nalgene containers are made from a wide variety of plastic types to meet the needs of virtually any laboratory application.
For help selecting the Nalgene bottle that's perfect for your lab applications, use our online selection guide. For personal assistance, contact the Nalgene technical support team. For specific material claims, please contact Nalgene Regulatory Support.

Footnote:
1. HDPE and LDPE are acceptable for: Nonacid, aqueous products; may contain salt, sugar or both (pH above 5.0). Dairy products and modifications; oil-in-water emulsions, high or low fat. Moist bakery products with surface containing no free fat or oil. Dry solids with the surfaces containing no free fat or oil (no end-test required) and under all conditions as described in Table 2 of FDA Regulation 177.1520 except condition A - high temperature sterilization (e.g. over 100° C / 212° F)
2. PETG is acceptable for alcoholic foods containing not more than 15% by volume alcohol; fill and storage temperature not to exceed 49oC(120oF). Nonalcoholic foods of hot fill not to exceed 82oC(180F) and 49oC(120F) in storage. Not suitable for carbonated beverages or beer or packaging food requiring thermal processing.
*The term “leakproof” applies to Thermo Scientific Nalgene products that meet the following criteria: a) Bottle/flask/funnel closure systems with closures smaller than 100mm, after they are filled with water, inverted, withstand air pressure of 2psig for 2 minutes, and no water escapes;. b) Bottle/funnel/flask closure systems of larger than 100mm after they are filled with water, inverted for 15 minutes, and no water escapes. Note: these tests, using other liquids, may not yield the same results. To ensure safe usage, customers are advised to test Thermo Scientific Nalgene bottles and closures under conditions of their planned applications. Thermo Scientific Nalgene products are leakproof at ambient temperature and pressure when used with their Nalgene closures.
