I have been told by my supplier's that there is way more Iodine in
the rubber and plastic than the other way , Just for your
information, good Iodine creeps into everything, skin, furniture,
countertops, tile, you name it, but hardly anything goes into Iodine.

Iodine has an almost indefinite shelf life. It will lose some
potency over time, one of the reasons they suggest having the
larger amount securely capped and the amount you are using daily
(if you use it daily) decanted into a smaller bottle.
For my bottle with the dropper - you know the type with the rubber
air bulb on top to draw up into the dropper - I just keep several
on hand and replace periodically.
The chemists will have to give feedback but I would have to suspect
that there are likely some plastic compounds in there now. How
much and whether this would make it unsafe for your use - whatever
that might be - I cannot say.

thanks jaxi that explains why it has been escaping from the plastic.
is it too late to restore in glass, does it have plastic compounds
in it now from possibly breaking down the plastic? Jess

They suggest storing in glass and using a regular lid for larger
amounts and decanting into a smaller glass container with a dropper
for daily use. It is corrosive to plastic/rubber long term.

Does anyone know if liquid iodine can be stored in plastic? I
bought some Lugols a couple years ago and the container and dropper
is a thick plastic. When left in the medicine cabinet in a very
cool part of the house, it evaporated from the bottle and stained
the inside of the cabinet orange. Afterwards I stored the Lugols
bottle inside a glass jar with the top on the jar. The bathroom
still has the smell although there is no sign of staining anywhere.
I have another iodine in glass bottle with dropper that never
escaped into the atmosphere. Thanks, Jess
