HDPE
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE): HDPE refers to a plastic used to make bottles for milk, juice, water and laundry products. Unpigmented HDPE bottles are translucent and have good barrier properties and stiffness. They are well-suited to packaging products with short shelf lives such as milk, margarine tubs and yogurt containers. Because HDPE has good chemical resistance, it is used for packaging manyhousehold as well as industrial chemical such as detergents and bleach. Pigmented HDPE bottles generally have better stress crack and chemical resistance than bottles made from unpigmented HDPE.
