These plastic squeeze bottles are made from LDPE (Low-density polyethylene) plastic recycle code 4. This plastic has a lower density which makes it more pliable and easier to squeeze, but yet just as durable as a more rigid bottle made from high density plastic.
They are great for kids or people with a weaker hand grip. LDPE can also withstand cold temperatures very well but are not ideal for heated liquids. These bottles are strong and have very good impact resistance. The dispensing spout already has a pre-cut hole in the tip, you can easily cut the tip to increase the hole size to accommodate thicker liquids and prevent clumping if your liquids have larger solid particles.
