Our HDPE Bottles meet the highest standards for the packaging, storage, handling, and transport of highly purified or hazardous solid or liquid chemical products. MAUSER’s internationally reputed UN-approved narrow-neck bottles are available to order online.
UN HDPE Liquid Bottles are approved to hold liquids within packing group II & III and compliant with regulations for shipping dangerous goods by sea, road or air. The HDPE Bottles can be used within an appropriate 4G or 4GV outer packaging. Available with tamper-evident cap option.
In addition to being an impact-resistant form of plastic, HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is lightweight and flexible, and therefore beneficial for packaging. HDPE bottles are a great choice for chemically-resistant uses. UN HDPE bottles have superb resistance to tough weather conditions and avoid other problems including mildew and mould.
HDPE bottles have a number of advantages over other types of plastic bottles. They are lightweight, durable, and although not biodegradable can be recycled. HDPE bottles are also less likely to leach chemicals into their contents than other types of plastic bottles.

It depends on the application. HDPE is often used in packaging that requires a large amount of flexibility, such as bottles and containers, while PET is often used in packaging that requires transparency like food and beverage containers. Both materials offer good durability and are resistant to many chemicals.
Yes, HDPE bottles are considered safe for food and beverage use. HDPE plastic is a type of polyethylene that is made from a high-density version of the same material. It has a high tensile strength and is very resistant to chemicals and other environmental factors. It also does not contain any harmful chemicals, and is therefore considered safe for use in food and beverage containers.
