Is this PET Jar suitable for target fill temp of 168-172F for 20-30mins for brine or pickled products?
No, this PET jar is not suitable for a target fill temperature of 168–172°F held for 20–30 minutes. Standard PET jars are intended for ambient or cold-fill applications and are not designed to withstand sustained high temperatures, which may cause warping, paneling, or loss of dimensional stability. For brined or pickled products requiring elevated fill temperatures and hold times, a hot-fill–rated PET container or glass packaging should be used instead.
