Menda 8 oz Take-Along Locking Liquid Dispenser, Natural Square HDPE Bottle – 35704
Keep frequently used cleaning liquids conveniently accessible with this 8 oz refillable dispensing bottle featuring Menda's Take-Along locking pump. Designed for controlled, one-handed liquid dispensing, this dispenser combines a natural translucent HDPE bottle with a secure locking mechanism for convenient use at electronics repair benches, precision cleaning stations, laboratories, and industrial workstations.
The Take-Along pump allows you to dispense small amounts of compatible liquid directly onto cotton swabs, cleaning pads, wipes, and other suitable applicators. Each press delivers approximately 0.2 cc of liquid, helping you control application without pouring from an open bottle.
When properly engaged, the locking pump helps prevent leakage during storage and transport. This makes the dispenser particularly convenient for technicians who move between workstations or need to keep compatible cleaning liquids in portable service kits.
The bottle is manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a durable material suitable for many solvents. Its natural translucent finish allows you to monitor the remaining liquid level without opening the container.
The square design provides a stable base and helps conserve space on crowded workbenches. A wide opening makes filling and refilling convenient, while the 8 oz capacity offers a larger working supply of liquid than the smaller Take-Along dispensers.
Measuring approximately 5.25 inches tall, this dispenser provides practical liquid storage without requiring a large workstation footprint.
Made in the United States, Menda 35704 combines controlled dispensing, refillable construction, and a secure locking pump for everyday professional use.

Take-Along Locking Pump
The Take-Along pump combines convenient liquid dispensing with a locking mechanism for storage and transport.
When the pump is properly locked, it is designed to prevent leakage and accidental dispensing.
This makes the dispenser useful for technicians who need to move cleaning liquids between workstations or store them in a portable service kit.
Unlike standard nonlocking dispensing pumps, the Take-Along design provides an additional level of security when the bottle is not in use.
Always confirm that the pump is fully locked and the bottle is securely closed before moving it.
For hazardous or flammable liquids, continue to follow all applicable storage, labeling, and transportation requirements.
Convenient One-Handed Dispensing
The push-down pump allows liquid to be dispensed without lifting or tipping the bottle.
Place a compatible cotton swab, cleaning pad, or wipe against the pump surface and press downward to dispense a small amount of liquid.
This arrangement is particularly useful during precision cleaning tasks where controlled application is important.
It also helps reduce unnecessary handling of open liquid containers.
One-handed dispensing makes the dispenser convenient for technicians who frequently alternate between cleaning and handling workpieces.
Controlled 0.2 cc Dispensing
Each pump press delivers approximately 0.2 cc of liquid.
This small dispensing volume helps control the amount applied to cleaning swabs, pads, and wipes.
Controlled dispensing can help reduce unnecessary liquid consumption and prevent oversaturating applicators.
Actual delivery may vary depending on the liquid's viscosity, pump condition, and operating technique.
For applications requiring exact volumetric measurement, use equipment specifically designed for calibrated dispensing.
Natural Translucent HDPE Bottle
The bottle is manufactured from natural high-density polyethylene.
HDPE offers useful resistance to many chemicals and solvents commonly encountered in industrial and laboratory environments.
The translucent finish allows the remaining liquid level to be checked without removing the pump.
This makes it easier to determine when refilling is needed.
Chemical compatibility depends on the specific liquid, concentration, temperature, and exposure conditions.
Always verify compatibility with the complete dispenser, including the pump and seals, before filling.
Stable Square Bottle Design
The square bottle provides a stable base for regular workstation use.
Its shape helps conserve storage space and allows multiple dispensers to be arranged neatly on shelves or workbenches.
The 8 oz capacity provides a larger working supply than the 4 oz and 6 oz Take-Along versions.
This makes it particularly useful for workstations where compatible cleaning liquids are used frequently.
Wide Opening for Easy Refilling
The wide bottle opening makes filling and refilling convenient.
It provides easier access when transferring compatible liquids from larger supply containers.
The refillable design is practical for facilities that maintain bulk supplies of approved cleaning chemicals.
Before refilling, inspect the bottle and pump for contamination or damage.
Avoid mixing incompatible chemicals or introducing residues from previously stored liquids.
Portable Storage for Cleaning Liquids
The locking pump makes this dispenser convenient for portable service and maintenance applications.
Technicians can carry a working supply of compatible liquid without transporting a larger container.
The locking mechanism helps reduce accidental dispensing while the bottle is stored or moved.
The dispenser should still be transported upright with suitable secondary containment when required.
The locking feature does not replace proper chemical storage or transportation procedures.
Take-Along Return-Flow Design
The Take-Along pump uses a return-flow dispensing mechanism.
This design differs from Menda's Pure-Take system, which incorporates a non-return purity-protection feature.
For general compatible cleaning applications, the Take-Along provides controlled dispensing and a locking pump.
For applications where preventing liquid from returning to the bottle is especially important, a non-return dispensing system may be more appropriate.
Chemical Compatibility and Safe Use
The natural HDPE bottle is suitable for many solvents, but not every chemical is compatible with every dispenser component.
Before filling, verify that the intended liquid is compatible with the bottle, pump, and seals.
Do not assume that compatibility with HDPE alone establishes compatibility with the complete dispensing system.
For flammable liquids, follow appropriate ventilation, ignition-source control, and workplace safety procedures.
This standard natural HDPE bottle is not specified as a static-dissipative or conductive ESD-safe container.
When handling flammable liquids or working in static-sensitive environments, use dispensing equipment appropriate for the hazards and facility requirements.
Care and Maintenance
Keep the pump and bottle clean to maintain consistent dispensing performance.
Lock the pump whenever the dispenser is not in use or is being moved.
Inspect the bottle periodically for cracks, deformation, leaks, or other signs of chemical incompatibility.
Check that the pump locks and dispenses correctly.
Use cleaning methods compatible with the bottle, pump, and previously stored liquid.
Clearly label the contents according to applicable workplace requirements.
Replace the dispenser if it becomes damaged or no longer operates correctly.
