Table 1.
The migration rate of hydrogen (μg/L per hour) from the inside to outside of various containers
| Material of container | Migration rate of hydrogen | |
|---|---|---|
| 0–2 h | 4–12 h | |
| Polyethylene | 225 | 27.5 |
| Polyethylene terephthalate | 135 | 23.1 |
| Polypropylene | 180 | 20 |
| Glass | 190 | 30 |
| Aluminum | 0 | 1.3 |
| Stainless steel | 0 | 0.6 |
Note: The aluminum- or stainless steel-made container repressed the movement of hydrogen from inside to outside. Measurements for each material of container were performed more than three times and typically the mean values were described.
