The Many Types of Custom Sport Bottles And Their Pluses and Minuses
It is very important to get acquainted first and make a wise decision. Let us analyze the various kinds of printed water bottles that are being sold in the market. It is also important to know the good and the bad behind each and every one of them.
There's the traditional plastic bottle. This is the kind you get from your food store or petrol station. It maybe common but this is infamous due to the fact that they are made of polyethylene terephthalate, a thermoplastic polymer resin which leaks a probable carcinogen after repeated usage. Furthermore, reusing water plastic bottles may lead to health problems due to bacterial growth.
Next off is the hard plastic water bottle which is made of a polycarbonate (#7 on the bottom). They are not safe too because may leach Bisphenol A (or BPA). Independent researchers link BPA exposures in animal and test-tube experiments to conditions involving hormone imbalances, including some types of cancer, early puberty and changes in brain structure, particularly for exposures during key points of fetal or early neonatal development. Canada's regulatory body, Health Canada, has already branded BPA as a dangerous substance. Absurd as it may sound; the FDA affirms that there is no cause for concern because human exposure levels to the chemical from sources such as water bottles are too low to have any serious effects. Whatever the case may be, it's better to keep the aforementioned water bottles away from your mouth. It is better to be safe than sorry. Thing brings us to an additional type of polycarbonate sport bottle-the BPA--free water bottle. These BPA-free drink containers are made with copolyester, a clear and colorful material that is the same as polycarbonate--just without the BPA.
If you would like to go a different route other than because there are safety risks with plastic sport bottles, you can opt for aluminum or stainless steel water bottles. Printed aluminum water containers are safe to drink from; they are simple yet lasting and lightweight as well. Plus, they do not harm the planet. Using aluminum water bottles reduces our dependency on plastic which is a byproduct of crude oil. Certainly, it will reduce your carbon footprint and your impact on the globe.
Due to recent efforts to make printed aluminum sport bottles attractive to all users, many special options have been added. Purchasers now have the options like attaching carabiners and built-in straws. A few manufacturers have even added stainless steel sip cups for kids.
The disadvantage of some aluminum bottles is that they do not supply much insulation. In consequence, condensation builds up on the outside of the bottle when it has cold drinks and having hot drinks make it uncomfortable to touch. In addition, the slender opening makes troublesome to fill, clean and use the bottle.
Now that you know the advantages and disadvantages of each and every type of customized sport bottle, it's about time you make an informed purchase.
