How to choose your right plastic water bottle？

Plastic water bottles are one of the common beverage containers in modern life. Compared with traditional glass and ceramic bottles, plastic water bottles have the advantages of being lightweight, unbreakable and inexpensive, so they are highly favored by people. But how to choose the right plastic water bottle? This article will answer your questions one by one.

I. Why we choose plastic water bottles?

As a common beverage container in modern life, plastic bottles’ advantages are mainly the following.

1. Lightweight: Compared with glass and ceramic bottles, plastic bottles are lighter and easier to carry.

2. Unbreakable: Compared to glass and ceramic bottles, plastic bottles are unbreakable and safer to use.

3. Affordable: Compared to glass and ceramic bottles, plastic bottles are cheaper and more affordable.

Not only these aspects, plastic material is malleable, can be made into a variety of shapes and colors, and easy to clean and maintain. In addition, plastic materials can also add a variety of functional materials, such as antimicrobial agents, UV inhibitors, etc., to provide users with a safer and healthier experience.

II. What kinds of plastic materials are available?

When choosing plastic bottles, it is necessary to understand the performance characteristics of different materials in order to choose the appropriate material. The following are a few common plastic materials and their advantages and disadvantages:

1. Polypropylene (PP): Polypropylene is a common plastic material with the advantages of heat resistance, corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance. Can withstand temperatures of 100 ℃ or even higher, not easily deformed, can be used for microwave heating, the key is not containing BPA and other harmful substances, long-term use of good stability. The disadvantage of polypropylene bottles is that they are opaque and easily contaminated by grease and pigments.

2. Polycarbonate (PC): Polycarbonate is a transparent plastic material, with high strength, high toughness, high heat resistance and other advantages. The disadvantage of polycarbonate bottles is that there are some problems with safety, may contain BPA, and is susceptible to ultraviolet light, which will gradually turn yellow. If it is under high temperature, for example, filled with hot water or exposed to sunlight, it will release harmful substances, so it is more suitable for loading cold or room temperature drinks.

3. Polyethylene (PE): Polyethylene is a soft, abrasion-resistant plastic material with good toughness and impact resistance. The disadvantage of polyethylene bottles is that they are not resistant to high temperatures and are easily deformed.

4. Polystyrene (PS): Polystyrene is a transparent plastic material with good heat and cold resistance. The disadvantage of polystyrene bottles is that they are fragile and easily broken.

5. Tritan : Tritan is a new type of plastic material, which can be said to take into account the PC transparent beauty and PP heat resistance, with high transparency, good impact resistance, heat resistance and other advantages. At the same time, Tritan does not contain BPA, will not release harmful substances, safer and healthier. Tritan is resistant to temperatures between -40°C and 100°C, and has become the material of choice for many baby products. (But try to avoid heating in the microwave to avoid deformation)

III. How to choose the right plastic water bottle?

When choosing plastic water bottles, it is necessary to consider the safety of the material, durability, environmental protection and comfort and other factors to ensure that you choose the right plastic water bottles for healthy drinking water.

1. Safety: Choose plastic materials that meet national safety standards, avoid the use of plastic materials containing toxic substances to ensure the safety of use.

2. Durability: Choose plastic materials that are wear-resistant, heat-resistant and cold-resistant, which have a longer service life and are not easy to be damaged.

3. Environmental protection: Choose recyclable plastic materials to reduce pollution to the environment and contribute to the cause of environmental protection.

4. Comfort: Choose plastic materials that feel comfortable and are easy to clean, which are more convenient to use and provide users with a better experience.

5. Application scenarios: Choose different plastic materials according to different application scenarios, such as outdoor sports, offices, etc.

6. Brand reputation:Choose plastic water bottles produced by manufacturers with good brand reputation, the quality is more reliable.

7. Tritan material: Choosing a plastic bottle made of Tritan can provide a better user experience. Tritan does not contain BPA, does not release harmful substances, and is safer and healthier. At the same time, Tritan material has the advantages of high transparency, good impact resistance, heat resistance and longer service life.

In short, when choosing plastic bottles, it is necessary to consider factors such as safety, durability, environmental protection, and comfort of the material to ensure that the appropriate plastic bottle is selected to protect healthy drinking water. The correct choice and use of insulation bottle material can not only facilitate our life, but also enhance our health awareness, so as to better protect their health.
