HDPE bottles are translucent and have good
barrier properties and stiffness.They are
well-suited to packaging products with
short shelf lives. Because HDPE has good
chemical resistance, it is used for packaging
many household as well as industrial chemicals.
Pigmented HDPE bottles generally have better
stress, crack and chemical resistance than
bottles made from unpigmented HDPE. |
