1. Weather Resistance of PC
PC material has generally average weather resistance. Long-term exposure to sunlight can cause aging and embrittlement. In high-temperature environments, PC containers may deform or crack, shortening their lifespan. For example, PC water buckets left outdoors for 1-2 years may show decreased transparency and a rough surface due to UV radiation.
2. Durability of PE
PE has excellent weather resistance and strong UV resistance. Even with long-term outdoor use, it does not easily age. HDPE water buckets can be used normally for 5-8 years without significant damage. In addition, PE is highly adaptable to low-temperature environments and will not become brittle or crack in cold regions, making it suitable for long-term water storage in various climates.
Usage Scenarios: Choose the More Suitable Option as Needed
1. Applicable Scenarios for PC
-
Short-term water storage PC material has high transparency and high strength, making it suitable for short-term use water cups and sports water bottles, allowing for easy observation of water levels and impact resistance.
-
Room temperature storage If only used for room temperature water storage, with high frequency of use and short replacement cycles, PC containers are a good choice. However, avoid contact with high temperatures and direct sunlight.
2. Advantageous Scenarios for PE
-
Long-term storage PE material is chemically stable and has good weather resistance, making it the preferred choice for long-term water storage, such as household water tanks and outdoor water tanks.
-
High or low temperature environments Whether in the hot summer or cold winter, PE containers maintain good performance, ensuring water quality safety.

Methods for Identifying PC Material in Pure Water Buckets
The identification of PC water buckets follows a series of standards explicitly defined by the quality inspection authorities. According to the instructions of the State Administration for Market Regulation, bottled water manufacturers must use PC buckets (polycarbonate buckets), while PET buckets (polyethylene terephthalate buckets) are strictly prohibited due to the potential release of toxic substances upon heating.
Shopping Guide: Key Information to Look For
Overly cheap PC or PE containers may use recycled materials or inferior additives. It is recommended to choose products from reputable brands, which may be slightly more expensive but offer guaranteed quality.
