you Can, but keep it at low temperature and not long periode of time

yeah is ok, stored it before no problem, but it is better to keep chemical in their original opaque flask

Dear all,

you can not unless you give which plastic the bottle you want to use is made of. If it is HDPE or more better PTFE than it is possible. If it another known plastic than you have to compare the solubility parameters of both (plastic and DMF). Regards

Dear Kowshik,

I am sure about this, because the maybe this solvent can solve the plastic material. So its better if you use glass containers.

Regards

I worked a lot with DMF long time ago. I do not think that storage of this strong aprotic polar solvent in a plastic tube is a good choice. Glass is still the best material for storing chemicals, generally speaking.

Thank you

May be late to answer. Usage of plastic tubes is not advisable for organic solvents. Unless otherwise some specified material for storage and marketing.
