Product Name

4 oz. (1/4 pint, 118ml) Natural Round HDPE Plastic Bottle 24mm outlet with included 24/410 White Ribbed Cap

Brief Description

A versatile, natural (translucent) round bottle made from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), featuring a 24mm neck finish and a 24/410 white ribbed screw cap for secure closure and easy grip. It is commonly used for packaging a wide range of liquid and semi-liquid products due to its durability, chemical resistance, and lightweight nature.

Popular Applications & Uses

- Shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and body washes- Serums, face oils, and essential oils- Cleaning solutions and household chemicals- Condiments and sauces- Pharmaceuticals, vitamins, and nutraceuticals (liquid or tablet/capsule form)- Laboratory reagents and samples- Craft supplies and homemade products

Industries that Commonly Use It

- Food & Beverage Company or Distributor- Chemical Industry- Medical Device/ Prosthetics (for pharmaceutical packaging)- General Manufacturing (e.g., personal care, household goods)- Packaging Services or Contractor- Prosumer (for DIY and small-batch production)

Special and Unique Features

- **Natural/Translucent HDPE:** Allows for approximate visibility of contents without full transparency- **Ribbed Cap (24/410):** Provides an enhanced grip for easy opening and closing, and ensures a secure seal- **Impact Resistant:** HDPE offers good resistance to impact, protecting contents- **Good Moisture Barrier:** Helps protect products from moisture ingress- **Lightweight:** Reduces shipping costs and makes handling easier- **FDA Approved Food Grade:** Suitable for food and beverage contact- **BPA-Free:** Safe for various applications, including food and beverages

Key Properties

- **Material:** High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)- **Chemical Resistance:** Excellent resistance to most acids, alkalis, salt solutions, and some organic solvents; generally not compatible with strong solvents or certain essential oils (depending on concentration)- **Durability & Toughness:** Strong, resistant to breaking or damage, and can withstand rough handling and temperature extremes- **Temperature Stability:** Provides good protection at below freezing temperatures, but generally not for products filled over 160°F (71°C)- **Recyclability:** Widely recyclable (Recycling Code #2)- **Translucency:** Milky-white, semi-translucent appearance

Surface Compatibility

- Compatible with a wide range of aqueous solutions, acids, and caustics- Suitable for many personal care products like lotions, shampoos, and gels- Good for food products, including milk, juices, and some condiments- Generally not recommended for strong solvents, certain essential oils, or products requiring a hermetic seal- Compatibility with specific chemicals should always be tested

Known backups / known substitutes

- **PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) Bottles:** Offer higher transparency and good barrier properties for alcohol and essential oils, but less chemical resistance to some substances- **LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) Bottles:** Less rigid and generally less chemically resistant than HDPE, but more flexible and translucent, often used for squeeze applications- **PP (Polypropylene) Bottles:** Good chemical resistance and higher temperature resistance than HDPE- **Glass Bottles:** Inert, non-reactive, premium look, but heavier and more fragile- **Stainless Steel Bottles:** Durable, long-lasting, non-leaching, good for temperature retention, but opaque and heavier- **Aluminum Bottles:** Lightweight, 100% recyclable, durable, but often require liners- **Other Plastic Types:** Such as Tritan Copolyester or plant-based plastics (PLA) for specific applications

Comparison Note

HDPE bottles offer a balance of economy, durability, and chemical resistance, making them a versatile choice for many products where transparency is not critical. They are more opaque and chemically resistant than PET, which is often preferred for high transparency and certain food/beverage applications. Compared to glass or stainless steel, HDPE is significantly lighter and less prone to breakage, though it lacks the premium feel and complete inertness of glass. The included ribbed cap provides a practical and secure closure, distinguishing it from bottles requiring separate cap purchases or specialized dispensing mechanisms like pumps or sprayers.
