Material:

Low-Density Polyethylene PlasticLow density polyethylene (LDPE) is squeezable and has a malleable feel. Unlike high density polyethylene, it is more translucent and tends to be less chemically resistant. Due to these factors, LDPE works best with packaging that is more flexible, such as produce bags and eye droppers. A common LDPE we carry is the boston round bottle, a popular choice within the personal care industry that works well for dispensing products. LDPE is not recommended for hot-filled applications but it works well in cold temperatures. Fill temperature should not exceed 120°F.
