HDPE Containers
HDPE containers are lightweight yet durable for storage of products
Product Overview
HDPE bottles are blow-molded. Bottles are used for milk and other liquid products, detergents, shampoos, motor oil, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, beauty and cosmetic products. Most milk and water bottles use a natural-colored HDPE resin. Bottles used for other products often have colorants added to the resin.
HDPE (High-density polyethylene) containers are popular, as the HDPE will not leach into the container’s content.
Product Benefits
HDPE is used for a number of reasons, especially for products that offer a liquid, cream, serum or powder/ tablet. Here are our top 10 reasons:
- HDPE Containers can be made in almost any shape, size and colour.
- For ease of handling, handles in HDPE jars are a popular attribute, which is not easily available with PET containers.
- HDPE Plastic Containers are affordable as they are mass produced and HDPE is a commodity plastic
- HDPE Container suppliers can work with brands to source Post-Consumer Recycled Plastics, and use them to make new HDPE Containers, hence, meet brands' sustainability goals.
- HDPE Containers are Non-Leaching, UV Resistant, Resistant to most chemicals, Amazing Durability, Highly Versatile.
- It is possible to have a View Strip on the side of a HDPE Jerry Can to indicate the level of liquid filled inside.
Key Features
- HDPE Containers are popular with leading brands in the Automotive Lubricants, Agro Chemicals, Chemicals, Cosmetic & Beauty, FMCG & Homecare, Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals industries.
- HDPE Containers are known for its excellent tensile strength, high melting point, low cost, and good impact strength.
- Generally, recycle symbol 2 is used to distinguish High Density Polyethylene Containers
- HDPE Containers are popular for packaging of Pharmaceutical & Nutritional Products such as Tablets, Capsules, Syrups and Nutritional Powders.
- HDPE Containers for chemicals are popular as High-Density Polyethylene has excellent ESCR (Environmental Stress Crack Resistance) properties, and it is possible to maintain uniform wall thickness.
- Popular HDPE Containers sizes are 500 ml, 1 Litre and 5 Litres
- HDPE containers provide good stress crack resistance and impact strength along with a uniform wall thickness for better labelling and appearance.
Industry Use Cases
- Pharmaceutical HDPE Containers are safe and food grade certificates are available with most HDPE Container manufacturers in India.
- HDPE Oil bottles are used by the edible oil industries such as Ruchi Soya, Saffola, Fortune…etc. as well as Automotive Lubricant companies such as BPCL, HPCL, IOCL, Castrol…etc. as they are leakage free and easy to reuse.
- HDPE Containers with handles are popular for packing of Liquid detergent such as Surf Excel, IFB, Ariel…etc. (All brands/ trademarks are the respective properties of their Owners, and not of Regent Plast)
- HDPE lab bottles are chemically-resistant bottles used for holding and dispensing fluids. They are used in chemical storage, labware cleaning, and other laboratory applications.

FAQs
HDPE containers are non-reactive, BPA-free, and certified by global safety bodies including the FDA. They are ideal for food-grade and pharmaceutical applications, providing a protective barrier against moisture, UV light, and contaminants. Regent Plast’s DMF-certified containers offer extra assurance for pharma customers requiring validated traceability.
HDPE is naturally resistant to moisture, acids, bases, and other industrial chemicals. Regent Plast enhances this resistance by performing ESCR and mechanical testing on every batch. These properties make HDPE containers ideal for agrochemicals, motor oils, automotive fluids, and cleaning agents.
Yes. Regent Plast’s HDPE containers are leak-proof and waterproof when sealed properly. Their container range includes wide-mouth jars, drums, and jerry cans, all designed for easy filling and secure transportation. When paired with the right closure system, they provide airtight storage for both viscous and volatile liquids.
HDPE naturally provides a decent barrier against oxygen and water vapor. For products sensitive to light, containers can be tinted or pigmented to block UV rays. This makes them suitable for storing photosensitive chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and certain food products.
Compared to glass, HDPE is lighter, more impact-resistant, and less prone to shattering—making it safer and easier to transport. Against PET, HDPE provides better chemical resistance and recyclability, though PET may offer slightly better transparency. For heavy-duty or industrial use, HDPE is the clear choice due to its resilience.
Yes. Regent Plast offers containers that include up to 35% PCR content, helping clients meet sustainability mandates while maintaining strength and quality. These containers retain the same performance as virgin plastic, supporting eco-friendly supply chains.
HDPE containers from Regent Plast are compatible with a wide variety of closure systems including screw caps, spouts, HDPE plugs, and tamper-evident seals. Specialized dispensing systems like pumps or measuring caps can also be accommodated upon request, depending on the use case.
Yes. Products for agrochemical and industrial markets are backed by safety and performance certifications such as ESCR, ISO, and BIS. Custom testing and documentation can be provided for regulated applications like pharma or hazardous goods.
