Silicone Tube Baster for Extraction?
    #27037934 - 11/13/20 11:29 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hey all,

So SWIM has been absolutely everywhere looking for a glass turkey baster as the one ordered online never arrived and has left SWIM with a mix that's ready to pull but no apparatus.

I have scoured everywhere looking for information and know the general consensus is not to use plastic, but the only alternative I can find is at the hardware store and it's a silicone tube baster....

Does anyone know if shellite (naptha) would cause the materials in this to bind?

I do have a small eye dropper but it would take a lot longer to decant and was just wondering what everyone thoughts were on doing a separation and avoid contact with plastics.

Why are you avoiding plastic? I find turkey basters are sloppy as hell i use a plastic squeeze bottle

I think you can use the plastic basters that are the HDPE type of plastic without worry.

EDIT: https://www.ineos.com/globalassets/ineos-group/businesses/ineos-olefins-and-polymers-usa/products/technical-information--patents/ineos-hdpe-chemical-resistance-guide.pdf

This chemical resistance guide for HDPE plastics says naptha has "some attack" at 70F and is "unsatifactory" at 140F sooo...probably usable if you are quick with it but definitely not preferable

as for silicone...looks like it is not a good combo...

The reference is "Silicone hose" I feel like that is relevant enough to give an answer on that

Naptha is liquid plastic. Its what a significant amount of plastic starts off as. Plastic is far safer than naptha itself. Just use plastics to handle naptha.
And never use swim again

Thanks for the tips. I struggled to find any specifically labeled HDPE plastic (all just said either plastic or silicone) and decided to go with an oral syringe for now as it appears they are made from polypropylene (PP) which has a 'Good' chemical compatibility rating with naptha - https://www.calpaclab.com/polypropylene-chemical-compatibility-chart/

The other option is to let the lye mix sit for another few days while I wait for my new glass pipette to arrive, but some people seem to think doing extended soaks damages the DMT?
