High Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
HDPE is used to make many types of bottles. Excellent resistance to most solvents
Unpigmented bottles are translucent, have good Higher tensile strength compared to
4™ barrier properties and stiffness, and are well suited to other forms of polyethylene
725 packaging products with a short shelf life such as Relatively stiff material with useful
HDPE milk. Because HDPE has good chemical resistance, it temperature capabilities

is used for packaging many household and industrial

chemicals such as detergents and bleach. Pigmented

HDPE bottles have better stress crack resistance than
igmented HDPE.

Other. Use of this code indicates that a package is
Tay made with a resin other than the six listed above, or Dependent on resin or combination
F is made of more than one resin and used in a multi- of resins
te layer combination.

Notation:

e Alternative container may refer to HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) type of materials that can be used
exclusively for transporting the liquid petroleum products from retail outlet to the place of use or consumption
e.g. lube container.

e In selecting the appropriate or alternative container, look for Resin Code number 2 for HDPE and 7 for other
miscellaneous types of plastic e.g. polycarbonate, polylactide.
