Abstract:
Plastic Buckets have been used in Indian households for over 30 years in
every strata of society. The traditional galvanised iron, aluminium and
brass buckets have been to a great extent been replaced by HDPE
moulded buckets. The important performance characteristics they
provide include lightness, unbreakability, ease in handling, safety in use,
resistance to boiling water and chemicals, colour variability to match
environment and economical cost. The HDPE Buckets are available in
the market ranging from 13.5 litres to 25 litres capacity. However, the
bucket having 21 litre capacity is the most popular in the market.
