Plastics Comparison Chart

The following chart compares characteristics for the most common types of resins used for plastic packaging. However, most data refers to tests done on sheets of resin (film) rather than rigid plastic bottles. For best results, B&C Plastics Ltd. recommends that our customers always test their product in actual bottles to ensure compatibility.  You may also refer to SPI's which plastic for your product sheet.
