Q. What materials are used in the manufacturing of water buckets?

Answer

High-density polyethylene is commonly used to make buckets. HDPE is a non-reactive polymer that can withstand harsh conditions and repeated impacts while in transit or storage. Blow molding begins with the loading of raw HDPE resin (called stock at the start of the molding process) into a hopper. The stock is fed from the hopper into a conveyer channel, where it is pushed into a mold by a big screw. The stock is heated by friction and pressure as the screw rotates. Since many containers are only used once for transporting or delivering a product, the fact that most plastic materials are easily recyclable makes them appealing materials for container building.
