HDPE Materials, Rotational Molding and Choosing a Container Supplier

Most heavy-duty industrial containers are rotomolded HDPE: seamless, impact resistant and food-contact capable. Injection molding suits high volumes of smaller, thinner parts. When choosing a supplier, verify the manufacturer, resin documents, lead times and support for multi-site programs. LT Plastics is an authorized Bonar Plastics distributor.
