Generally detergent bottle are made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) depending on the detergent type if it is washing liquid or soap then PET is preferable due to its transparency properties. HDPE is more preferable for other type of detergents such as bleach, shampoo etc. and these products are highly chemical which requires a good chemical resistance. Therefore, HDPE has better properties for detergent container purposes; excellent flexural strength, good impact strength, very good chemical resistance, good fatigue resistance and service temperature to 126 °C. HDPE detergent bottles can be manufactured by extrusion blow moulding as it is suitable for mass production and cheaper than other techniques.
