Product Name
Oil Quart Black Bottle with Lid 32 oz. (1 quart) HDPE Plastic, 28/400 Black Ribbed Cap
Brief Description
A 32 oz (1 quart) black high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic bottle, paired with a 28/400 black ribbed screw cap, designed for the secure storage and dispensing of various liquids, particularly oils, lubricants, and chemicals. The black color provides UV protection, and the HDPE material ensures durability and chemical resistance.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Packaging for motor oils and lubricants.- Storage of automotive chemicals and fluids.- Containers for industrial chemicals and cleaning solutions.- General purpose liquid storage where chemical resistance and durability are required.- Environmental applications.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services- Automotive Service/Repair- Chemical Industry- General Manufacturing- Industrial Supply- Packaging Services or Contractor- Distributers & Resellers- Plastic Fabrication
Special and Unique Features
- Black Color: Provides UV protection for light-sensitive contents.- HDPE Plastic: Offers high strength-to-density ratio, durability, and chemical resistance.- 32 oz (1 Quart) Capacity: A common and convenient size for various applications.- 28/400 Neck Finish: A standard neck size compatible with a wide range of closures.- Ribbed Cap: Enhances grip for easier opening and closing, especially with wet or oily hands.- Lightweight: Contributes to reduced shipping costs and easier handling.- Recyclable: HDPE is widely recyclable (Code #2).
Key Properties
- Chemical Resistance: Excellent resistance to many solvents, chemicals, acids, alkalis, grease, and oil.- Impact Resistance: Tough and durable, able to withstand physical impact and rough handling.- High Stiffness/Tensile Strength: Provides structural integrity.- Good Barrier Properties: Offers an inherent moisture barrier.- Temperature Tolerance: Withstands temperatures from -50°C to 110°C.- Opaque/Translucent: Typically opaque in black, but can be translucent in natural form, often with a viewing stripe.- Leakproof: Seamless construction minimizes the risk of leakage.
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with a broad range of liquids including motor oils, lubricants, petroleum-based products, industrial chemicals, cleaning solutions, acids, alkalis, solvents, alcohols, and aqueous products.- FDA-certified HDPE can be used for food-grade applications, though this specific product is primarily marketed for industrial oils.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Plastic Types: - PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate): Offers clarity and good solvent compatibility, but less chemical resistance to caustic solutions and less protection for oil/fat-based products than HDPE. - PP (Polypropylene): Known for heat resistance, good chemical compatibility, and rigidity, often used for jars or stable bottles. - PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Dense, rigid, good thermal and chemical resistance, used for piping and flexible applications. - LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene): More elastic, used for squeezable bottles and bags.- Glass Bottles: Infinitely recyclable, no chemical leaching, but fragile and heavy.- Metal Cans/Containers: Durable, but prone to rust and corrosion over time.- Biodegradable/Bioplastics (e.g., PLA, PHA): Made from renewable resources, break down faster, but may have limitations in mechanical properties or specific chemical compatibility.- Lined Paper/Cardboard Bottles: Eco-friendly, lightweight, but require a lining.- Aluminum Bottles: Lightweight, robust, affordable, and infinitely recyclable.
Comparison Note
HDPE bottles offer a superior balance of chemical resistance, impact durability, and cost-effectiveness compared to many alternatives, making them ideal for industrial and automotive fluids. While PET provides better clarity and PP offers higher heat resistance, HDPE excels in robust protection for aggressive or oil-based formulations. Its opaque nature (especially in black) provides crucial UV protection, a feature often lacking in clear alternatives like PET.
