I am considering using these with very concentrated flavors, some of which are know to leech, cloud or melt certain plastics. What type is this?

I gave this as a gift so I don't use it myself. It is so inexpensive I would say try it with something and see what happens. The OXO plastics I have seem pretty hard to damage

According to the Oxo rep I spoke with on the phone, these are made of Tritan. That's an Eastman product, billed as a food-safe copolyester resin.

The only making on the bottom of the beakers is "No BPA". They are a very hard, clear plastic. I try not to use the smallest one for sticky stuff like honey since it is hard to clean. Q-Tips work well.

They are made of plastic. If you have had problems with plastic containers before, I would recommend something else made of glass.

"Almost all commercially available plastic products we sampled-independent of the type of resin, product, or retail source-leached chemicals having reliably detectable EA [estrogenic activity], including those advertised as BPA free. In some cases, BPA-free products released chemicals having more EA than did BPA-containing products." - from the US National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health. PMCID: PMC3222987

I use plastic, my understanding is no metal. in the demonstration on line, a plastic knife is being used to mix the ingredients.

Hi, I had this blender over two years ago - the plastic piece is called a tamper and is used to aid in blending by pushing food into the blades or to release trapped air pockets if mixing thick ingredients in the blender. It's designed to go down in the blender but NOT reach the blades. Hope this helps.

I believe it is silacone based...it is ridge and somewhat difficult to get liquid out of.

The bottle I received was plastic. I have seen this product come in glass at the health food store, but from Amazon it is plastic. Also, compared to another cherry concentrate that I have tried, this seems highly diluted. I don't recommend it. However, the other person that answered seems to like the product from iHerb, so maybe it is different.

I any concentrated flavoring - including ones from Soda Stream or even powdered drink mixes from Kool-Aid. I have never seen FlavorStation branded mixes in any store. The units in stores are liquidations from Primo discontinuing the unit.

I wouldn't use it with plastic. It heats up enough to melt ice, so use only metal to be safe.

Took some time to research this...whew! And this is the best I got: made with polycarbonates or "a synthetic resin in which the polymer units are linked through carbonate groups, including many molding materials and films." I use these for jucing but only for short-term. Mainly for water bottles. Hope this helps.

mannitol, sorbitol, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, natural cherry flavor, modified cellulose gum, colloidal silicon dioxide, stearic acid, and magnesium stearate

First answer went thru before i finished. Mine was heavy plastic bottle. Good flavor to this item.

I would use windex or glass cleaner or a liquid cleaner that won't melt plastic! Obviously, a scrubbing pad and powders like Comet or Ajax, etc. won't work.

I do not know for sure. If you are worried about it you could always get one of the glass misters. My mother has used many different misters, but she prefers the one made by pampered chef. She told me that all the plastics used with pampered chef items are safe, as they are intended to be used with food. Maybe that would be the best choice for you.

crushed ice, water or milk. Your preference on that. Everything else is in the mix. Come out like the best thick Mocha Frapp you have ever had.

water, glycerin, hydrogen peroxide, carbomer, peg-60, hydrogenated castor oil, flavor, sodium saccharin, potassium, disodium Pyrophosphate, etidronic acid, ammonium hydroxide

For any portable blender, buy one with the end bit (detachable portion) made of Stainless Steel as it enables you to use it / dip it in hot liquids/purees while cooking. The plastic ones will melt and get damaged.

I do not have any experience with the type you are talking about. I do like the ozone feature on this one because I believe it helps reduce bacteria on the skin and in my sinuses. I am still very happy with my purchase.
