Which plastics are PC-able?
    #19299828 - 12/19/13 08:19 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Hey guys another question, I was planning to use old plastic bottles as spawn bottles, does anyone know which plastics are pc-able?
I did a search and only found that PP (5) is capable so far.

  PP

Anyone know any other plastics?

I use tropicana bottles to put my pasteurized and spawned sawdust in. If that's what you mean. No need to sterilize if you don't supplement and use a higher spawn rate.

But if you mean for grain spawn, I'm interested in the technique you use/plan to use.

Well, the other numbers are for PE, LDPE, HDPE, PVC, and PS. None of which are able to be sterilized in a cooker.
PP is the only common plastic used in a PC as far as I know.

I've pc'd grain and straight millet in plastic microwave containers many time. Often expected to find them melted but they hold up to 15 psi ok in my experience.

Most drinking bottles come as preforms and are heated and air blown into them to get their shape.  So yeah, they're kinda made to melt.
