Product Name
- 32 oz (1 Qt) Natural HDPE Wide-Mouth Jar with 89-400 White Ribbed Cap and Chemical Resistant PP Liner
Brief Description
- This product is a robust, 32-ounce (1 quart) wide-mouth jar made from natural High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), paired with an 89-400 white ribbed cap featuring a chemical-resistant Polypropylene (PP) liner. It is engineered for the safe storage and easy dispensing of a wide array of substances, particularly those requiring excellent chemical compatibility and durability.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Storage and dispensing of industrial chemicals, acids, bases, and solvents.- Packaging for household cleaning products and detergents.- Containment of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, pills, capsules, and other tablets.- Storage of powders, granules, and dry goods due to the wide mouth.- Packaging for certain food items like condiments, dressings, sauces, and spices (though the chemical-resistant liner is a key feature for non-food or specialized food applications).- General purpose industrial and laboratory storage.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Chemical Industry: For storing and transporting various chemicals, acids, bases, and solvents.- Industrial Supply: As a versatile container for a broad range of industrial products.- General Manufacturing: For internal storage of components, raw materials, or finished goods.- Packaging Services or Contractor: Utilized by companies providing packaging solutions. - Automotive Service/Repair: For packaging automotive fluids or related products.- Medical Device/ Prosthetics: For packaging pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and health-related products like pills and capsules.- Food & Beverage Company or Distributor: For certain food products, especially those requiring robust packaging or specific barrier properties.- Distributers & Resellers: As a product sold and distributed to various end-users across industries.
Special and Unique Features
- **Chemical Resistant PP Liner:** Provides superior protection against a wide range of chemicals, solvents, bases, and acids, ensuring product integrity and preventing leaks.- **Wide-Mouth Design:** Facilitates easy filling, dispensing, and access for scoops or spoons, making it suitable for viscous liquids, powders, and solids.- **Natural HDPE Material:** Offers semi-translucent clarity, allowing for visible content levels while providing excellent barrier properties and chemical resistance.- **Durable and Impact-Resistant:** HDPE construction ensures the jar can withstand handling and transportation without easily breaking or cracking.- **89-400 Neck Finish:** A common and versatile closure size, allowing for compatibility with standard capping equipment and various liner options.
Key Properties
- **Material (Jar):** High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)- **Material (Cap):** Polypropylene (PP)- **Material (Liner):** Chemical Resistant Polypropylene (PP)- **Capacity:** 32 oz (1 Quart)- **Color (Jar):** Natural (semi-translucent)- **Color (Cap):** White- **Neck Finish:** 89-400 (Continuous Thread)- **Chemical Resistance:** Excellent against most acids, alkalis, alcohols, esters, and solvents.- **Impact Resistance:** High, providing durability and reducing breakage risk.- **Temperature Resistance:** HDPE can withstand temperatures between -100°F and 190°F (-73°C and 88°C), and PP has high heat resistance.- **Moisture Barrier:** Good protection against moisture.- **Rigidity:** Semi-rigid to rigid structure.- **Lightweight:** Contributes to easier handling and reduced shipping costs.
Surface Compatibility
- **Jar (HDPE):** Compatible with a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, alcohols, and many solvents. Generally not recommended for strong oxidizing agents or certain hydrocarbons/aromatic solvents without a barrier treatment.- **Liner (PP):** Offers superior chemical resistance to many chemicals, solvents, bases, and acids.- **Cap (PP):** Good chemical resistance, especially against acids, alcohols, and bases.
Known backups / known substitutes
- **PET Jars:** Often used for food, personal care, and some industrial products where clarity is desired and chemical resistance requirements are less stringent than for aggressive chemicals.- **Glass Jars:** Provides excellent chemical inertness and barrier properties, especially for sensitive or high-purity chemicals, but is heavier and more fragile.- **Fluorinated HDPE Bottles:** For chemical compounds containing hydrocarbons or aromatic solvents, fluorinated HDPE provides enhanced barrier protection.- **Other Plastic Types:** LDPE (lower density, more flexible, less chemical resistant), PVC (less common for wide-mouth jars, specific chemical resistance), Polystyrene (PS) (clear, often for single-use, less chemical resistant).- **Different Cap Liners:** While this product has a chemical-resistant PP liner, other liners like PE foam or heat-induction foil seals are available for different applications (e.g., food, tamper-evidence).
Comparison Note
- This 32 oz Natural HDPE Wide-Mouth Jar with a Chemical Resistant PP Liner stands out for its combination of a wide opening for easy access and robust chemical resistance, making it ideal for industrial and specialized applications where both factors are critical. While standard HDPE jars are versatile, the inclusion of a chemical-resistant PP liner specifically enhances its suitability for aggressive substances, differentiating it from jars with general-purpose liners or those made from less chemically resistant plastics like PET. Its natural translucency allows for content visibility, a feature not always present in opaque chemical containers.
