What are HDPE powder bottles used for?

HDPE powder bottles are often used for packaging powders, such as spices, flour, and protein powder. They can also be used for storing other dry goods, such as grains and beans. With their stress-resistance and impact strength properties, HDPE powder bottles are well suited for packaging, storing and transport of hazardous chemical products.

What is the difference between HDPE and PET plastic bottles?

HDPE bottles are made of high-density polyethylene, while PET bottles are made of polyethylene terephthalate. HDPE bottles are more flexible and have a higher resistance to impact and stress cracking, while PET bottles are more rigid. PET plastic is clear while HDPE plastic is more opaque.
