Many friends like to drink water with plastic water bottles. Clear plastic water bottles are safer and better choices than colored ones. Clear plastic water bottle is a container made of transparent or translucent plastic materials such as Tritan, PET, PP, PC, etc. If you use the plastic water bottle for a long time, it will inevitably turn yellow due to water stains and scale, which will affect the appearance. At this time, we can use vinegar or baking soda for cleaning, or we can choose to use toothbrush and toothpaste for brushing. Let's find out what material the clear plastic water bottle is made of!
What material is the clear plastic water bottles made of?
Clear plastic water bottle is a kind of plastic packaging container with transparent white color formed by blow molding. After injection molding, the intermediate product bottle blank is formed, and then the plastic bottle is formed by blow molding, which is the two-step molding principle. The main materials for making clear plastic water bottles are as follows:
1. PET (polyethylene terephthalate)
PET clear water bottle is hard, good toughness, high strength, bright surface, environmental protection and non-toxic. PET materials are generally used to make plastic bottles for packaging food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
2. PP (polypropylene)
PP clear water bottle has good toughness, environmental protection, non-toxic, high temperature resistance, but its PP plasticity is poor, processing is difficult, the surface gloss is poor, and the color will be lighter when processing, so it is used to make disposable plastic water bottles.
3. Tritan has low density and good permeability, so the tritan water bottle is very transparent, as clear as glass. The price of clear water bottle made of tritan material will be higher than that of PP.
How to solve the yellowing problem of clear plastic water bottle?
The reason for the yellowing of clear plastic water bottle is that it turns yellow due to too much water stains and scale. It's not beautiful. You can use vinegar and water according to a certain ratio to soak the yellowing clear plastic water bottle for a period of time, and then clean it with clean water to restore its original color. You can also use dental paste and toothbrush for brushing, and the cleaning effect is also very good.
However, it should be noted that as the plastic water bottle is easy to be corroded, do not use more corrosive liquid when cleaning to avoid damage to the plastic water bottle.
