LDPE Buckets with Lids

LDPE Buckets with Lids

LDPE Buckets with Lids are durable, lightweight containers made from Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) — a flexible, chemical-resistant plastic. These buckets are widely used in laboratories, industrial settings, and healthcare environments for the storage, mixing, and transport of liquids, powders, and other materials. The tight-fitting lids ensure secure sealing to prevent contamination or spillage.

Specifications:

• Material:

  • Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) — soft, flexible, and chemically resistant

• Capacities:

  • Common sizes include 1 L, 5 L, 10 L, 20 L, and more

• Lid Type:

  • Snap-on or screw-top lids (may include tamper-evident seal)

• Color:

  • Usually natural/translucent, but also available in white or color-coded variants

• Graduation Marks:

  • Often come with molded volume markings for easy measuring

• Autoclavable:

  • Generally not autoclavable, as LDPE deforms at high heat (softens ~80°C)

• Chemical Compatibility:

  • Suitable for acids, alkalis, alcohols, and many aqueous solutions

• Wall Thickness:

  • Designed to balance strength and flexibility

• Handles (Optional):

  • Some buckets include molded or metal wire handles for easier transport

Uses:

• Laboratory Work:

  • For collecting waste, transferring or mixing reagents, or temporary storage of liquids and solids

• Industrial Applications:

  • Used for transporting or holding bulk chemicals, powders, or cleaning agents

• Healthcare & Sanitation:

  • Storage of disinfectants or biological waste (when color-coded)

• Food & Beverage:

  • Food-grade LDPE buckets may be used for handling or storing ingredients

• Construction:

  • Transport and temporary storage of materials like adhesives, water, or powder-based products
