What is a Polycarbonate Bottle?

[belkin909]

A polycarbonate bottle is a shatter-resistant container that weighs less, but is more durable, than a glass bottle. Polycarbonate bottles are made of a hard polymer substance known as Bisphenol A (BPA). Many people use bottles made of polycarbonate for portable water containers that are lightweight and unbreakable, as well as reusable. The polycarbonate bottle is a familiar sight around gyms, offices, pools and homes with young children.

Most office water coolers feature a hard plastic water jug made of polycarbonates. The polymer material used to manufacture these giant water bottles is designed to be lightweight and break-resistant. Though quite large, the polycarbonate bottle itself adds little to the overall weight of the water, making it easier to heft the jugs when full.
