Special and Unique Features
- **HDPE Material:** Renowned for its high strength-to-density ratio, exceptional durability, and impact resistance, making it ideal for products requiring robust packaging that can withstand rough handling and transportation.- **Chemical Resistance:** Offers excellent resistance to a wide array of chemicals, including acids, bases, and many solvents, which helps prevent product degradation and container leaching.- **Moisture Barrier:** Provides superior protection against moisture, oxygen, and external contaminants, which is crucial for preserving product freshness and extending shelf life.- **Natural Translucency:** The natural color of the HDPE allows for easy visibility of the product level inside the bottle, while still offering some UV protection compared to clear plastics.- **Lightweight & Cost-Effective:** Its lightweight nature contributes to reduced shipping costs and makes the product easier for consumers to handle, offering an economical packaging solution.- **Recyclable:** HDPE is one of the most widely recycled plastics (Resin Code 2), supporting environmental sustainability and circular economy initiatives.- **24/410 Ribbed Cap:** The ribbed design of the cap ensures an easy and secure grip for opening and closing, enhancing user convenience. The 24/410 neck finish provides broad compatibility with various dispensing closures.
Key Properties
- Material: High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) bottle, Polypropylene (PP) cap.- Capacity: 16 oz (1 pint).- Color: Natural (translucent/opaque).- Neck Finish: 24mm (24/410).- Cap Type: White Ribbed Screw Cap.- Durability: High impact resistance and strength.- Chemical Resistance: Excellent against acids, bases, and many solvents.- Temperature Resistance: Withstands cold temperatures (down to -100°F) and moderately higher temperatures (around 167°F); not suitable for hot-fill or boiling liquids.- Food Safe: FDA-approved and BPA-free for direct food contact.- Recyclability: Widely accepted in recycling programs (Resin Code 2).
Surface Compatibility
- Compatible with most liquid and semi-liquid products, including water-based and oil-based formulations, household chemicals, personal care products, and food items.- Exhibits excellent resistance to acids, bases, and many common solvents.- Not recommended for strong oxidizing agents or certain organic solvents at elevated temperatures, as compatibility can vary; always test with specific product formulations to ensure suitability.
Known backups / known substitutes
- **PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Bottles:** Offer greater clarity and often better barrier properties against oxygen and UV light, commonly used for beverages and transparent products. Generally less chemical resistant than HDPE for certain harsh substances.- **Glass Bottles:** Provide superior clarity, inertness, and a premium aesthetic, but are heavier, more fragile, and typically more expensive for mass production.- **Metal (Aluminum/Stainless Steel) Bottles:** Offer high durability, reusability, and excellent temperature retention, but are opaque and generally incur higher costs for single-use applications.- **LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) Bottles:** More flexible than HDPE, but typically less rigid and may have slightly lower chemical resistance.- **PP (Polypropylene) Bottles:** Known for good chemical resistance and higher temperature resistance than HDPE, but can be more rigid and less impact resistant at very low temperatures.
Comparison Note
- HDPE bottles provide a well-rounded solution balancing durability, chemical resistance, moisture barrier properties, and cost-effectiveness, making them exceptionally versatile for a broad range of products. While PET bottles may offer superior clarity and oxygen barrier for specific beverage applications, HDPE excels in impact strength and resistance to a wider spectrum of chemicals. Alternatives like glass and metal containers present different aesthetic and functional advantages but often come with trade-offs in terms of cost, weight, and fragility. The optimal choice of packaging ultimately depends on the specific product requirements, desired brand aesthetic, and budgetary considerations.
