What shouldn't be stored in glass storage jar?

The following are the types of items that glass storage jars are not suitable for storing, and why:

1. Highly corrosive chemicals
Includes: bleach, strong acids (hydrochloric acid), strong bases (drain cleansers), undiluted disinfectant
Risks:
Corrosion of the metal cap, leading to leakage or seal failure
Glass may become brittle due to corrosion, increasing the risk of breakage
Alternative: Original plastic bottles (chemically resistant)

2. Sensitive substances that need to be protected from light
Includes: essential oils, photosensitive chemicals (such as iodine), red wine, photographic film
Problem:
Clear glass cannot block UV rays, accelerating the decomposition or deterioration of ingredients
Red wine develops a "light odor" (wet cardboard smell) after exposure
Alternative: Dark glass bottles/stainless steel cans

3. Highly volatile/flammable liquids
Includes: gasoline, liquids with an alcohol content greater than 75%, paint thinner
Risks:
The rubber seal of the sealing cap may be dissolved by the solvent, leading to leakage
Static electricity or sparks from impact may cause explosions (glass is not anti-static)
Alternative: Specialized explosion-proof metal containers

4. Liquid foods that need to be refrigerated
Includes: High-moisture soups, dairy products, and uncooled cooked food
Problem:
Liquids expand when frozen, causing cracks in the can (especially at the right angles of the bottom);
Hot food placed directly into the can causes sudden cooling and cracking of the glass
Alternative: Plastic freezer containers (allowing for expansion space)

5. Sharp/hard objects
Includes: Metal screws, knives, and mineral specimens
Risk:
Scratches on the inner glass surface during handling and placement can cause cracks; Impact can cause brittle glass breakage (especially in narrow-mouthed cans)
Alternative: Thick-walled plastic tool boxes/metal cans

6. High-value, easily oxidizable items
Includes: Silver jewelry, antique documents, and collectible tea
Problem:
Ordinary glass jars are not airtight enough to completely isolate oxygen. Silverware can easily darken, and aged tea can lose its fragrance.
Alternative: Vacuum aluminum foil bags with deoxidizers/humidity-proof boxes

7. High-temperature items that require frequent handling
Includes: Hot grease, freshly roasted nuts, roasted spices
Risks:
High temperature and sudden cooling can cause thermal stress on the glass, leading to cracking
It's hot to the touch and dissipates heat slowly (glass is a strong insulator)
Alternative: Allow the stainless steel basin to cool naturally before transferring it to a canister
