Solvent sprayed down into the dish
I.C. ESD Solvent Dispensers with the anti-splash (Purity) pump are for benches where splashing solvent is a problem: electronics assembly and rework, cleanrooms and labs that wet cotton balls, swabs or sponges all shift. The pump sprays about 2 mL of solution downward into the dish instead of up and out.
That downward spray minimizes cross contamination and personal exposure from splashing, and a pump trap keeps dispensed solution from draining back into the reservoir. The bottle is static dissipative, with an average surface resistivity of 10⁹ to 10¹⁰ Ω/sq and an average static decay of 0.5 seconds at 40% RH. Check the ESD Bottle Chemical Resistance Chart for your solvent; the bottles are not ATEX rated.
Choose 4, 6 or 8 oz (SD-4-ESD-AS, SD-6-ESD-AS and SD-8-ESD-AS), 50 per case, all on GSA MAS contract 47QSMS24D0078. I.C. ESD bottles are molded from MDPE compounded with an ESD additive that gives them their blue tint and static dissipative property, and they are supplied by R&R Lotion of Scottsdale, Arizona, since 1983.
Features & benefits
- Sprays downThe anti-splash pump sprays liquid downward into the dish-bowl to cut the risk of splashing.
- 2 mL per pressDispenses 2 mL of solution into the dish-bowl pool.
- Pump trapDispensed solution cannot drain back and contaminate the reservoir.
- Static dissipativeAverage surface resistivity of 10⁹ to 10¹⁰ Ω/sq, with an average static decay of 0.5 seconds at 40% RH.
- Supports an S20.20 programSupports an ANSI/ESD S20.20 program. The bottle does not certify a workstation on its own.
- Amine and amide freeThe antistatic additive contains no amines, amides or ethoxylated tertiary amine, the agent used in many other antistatic bottles.
- Durable MDPEMedium-density polyethylene is durable and chemical resistant.
- Grip-right materialFlexible walls give precise, even resistance in the hand.
- Leak-proof fitEach molding is fitted to its matching top and seals when closed.
- Into the ESD areaBring liquids and supplies into static-sensitive areas in a static dissipative container, and keep them within reach at the workstation.
- ESD blue, translucentThe ESD blue tint is easy to spot, and the translucent wall shows contents and fill level.
- Clean plasticMade with no BPA, PBDE, phthalates or heavy metals.
- Non-stick surfaceContents release cleanly from the plastic surface.
- Odor resistantDoes not hold trace odors or fragrances left by solvents and other chemicals.
- Top-rack washableWash on the top rack of a dishwasher and reuse.
- RecyclableThe material is formulated to be recyclable and reusable.
Uses (from the label)

These little dispensers are, ahem, indispensable! I use them on my workbench to dispense solvents such as acetone and paint thinner, and in my bathroom to dispense hydrogen peroxide. My wife uses one to hold nail-polish remover.
In case you don’t know how they work, the top is a small dish-shaped container with a flip-down lid. Pushing down on the stainless-steel reservoir pumps the liquid from the (blue) bottle into the reservoir. The pump is easily operated manually or with a with a cotton swab. The value of these dispensers is that you pump only as much liquid as you need–for example, to moisten a swab. If the rest evaporates, well, it’s only a tiny amount.

I bought this a month ago at the suggestion of a cousin who worked repairing electronics in military helicopters. I use it to hold alcohol for cleaning excess flux off of freshly soldered connections (with an MG Chemicals 852 hog hair brush: http://amazon.com/dp/B004SPCXYO).
It’s stable on a work surface, works well, mechanically, and appears not to allow much evaporation of the alcohol (although I occasionally have to prime the pump if I haven’t used it for too long).
The convenience is priceless. I’m very happy with this unit and wish I had bought one several decades ago.

Have been using this bottle for astringent twice a day for 2 years. Love it. Never leaks. Looks as good as the day I received it. Saves money because I can get the precise amount of toner I want without accidentally pouring out too much like I used to do. Would definitely recommend.

Good stuff, works great for dispensing alcohol for cleaning PCBs and connectors of rosin.

I’m using one of these bottles for Isopropyl Alcohol, and plan to use the second on for Acetone. Pressing the top dispenses a small amount of liquid into the basin, and can easily be used to wet a small acid brush (AES Industries 1/2″ Acid Brushes) for cleaning soldering flux off a PCB.
