Step-by-step solution
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a tough, hard, and rigid polymer. It is widely used in the manufacture of buckets, dustbins, bottles (such as shampoo bottles), and pipes. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is highly branched and flexible, making it suitable for shopping bags, squeeze bottles, toys, and flexible pipes. Therefore, HDPE is used to prepare shampoo bottles.
