Plastic Bottles

Bottles and Their Designs

Whenever you happen to store any liquids whether it is oil, milk, water, wine, ink, or shampoo, your likely choice is to store the liquid in a bottle, be it of glass, aluminum, clay or plastic. With a narrow neck and wide body a container is an ideal and safety option to store liquids; plastic bottles all over the world are favored by people because of their light weight and economical advantage over the other types of materials with which bottles are manufactured. Used in various household and industries such as cosmetics, medicine, etc. applications plastic bottles are designed using different techniques. Under is a list of the techniques used to design plastic bottles.

HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) is an economical and moisture resistant material that offer good production for the products under 160° Fahrenheit but is vulnerable to store liquids at temperature above than 160°F or products that need vacuum fasten. The liquid for which HDPE plastic bottles are efficient include acids. LDPL (low Density Polyethylene) is posh than HDPE; floppy, lucid and semi-transparent unlike HDPE, LDPL designed plastic bottles are used in extracting applications. PET or polyester plastic bottles provide chemical obstruction and are a probable choice among the soft drink, carbonated and mineral water producing companies for PET offers a good barrier and improve the gas qualities of the liquid stored in the PET, yet they can not withstand the temperature more than 160° Fahrenheit. PVC can not bear up the highest temperature, but it used to store liquids such as shampoos, oil, vinegar, and mineral oil due to its very low oxygen transmission penetrating through inside or outside the plastic bottle designed by using PVC technique. Polypropylene is excellent because it exhibits a higher temperature endurance that can be up to 200° Fahrenheit but on the negative side PP fails to resist in cold temperatures.

For countless jobs and purposes plastic bottles are designed in various shapes like round plastic bottles, cylindrical plastic bottles; oval, spray, and washable plastic bottles are some of the very few types among a vast range of plastic bottles. The caps, lids, cork, and stopper used to close the mouths of the plastic bottles include different shapes, types and colors; and are typically sealed up on to their necks using induction sealing. The caps or lids’ types include dropper caps, flip caps, dispensing caps including flip top dispensing caps and Yorker dispensing caps, trigger sprays and finger sprays.

Controversy has been broke into the light regarding the reuse of plastic bottles; critics condemn that plastic products are dangerous for environment as they cause enormous land fills and damage marine life, to them plastic is an ubiquitous pestilence over the land, they maintain that plastic products should be produced on a very limited scale. But the companies dealing with plastic products negate this allegation and claim that plastic products including plastic bottles are not environmental enemy or fiend.

Some holds that plastic water bottles are not efficient to re use again and again but FDA has recommended PET a standard material for food packaging. Whatever the authorities fight over, it is a fact that thousand of our daily products are manufactured using plastic in their ingredients, plastic bottles in itself is the significant example of plastic product, as plastic bottle help store liquids for various functions.
