The T040 is a 128 oz natural-colored HDPE plastic round tub with handle. Tubs have wide mouths, tapered sides, and a slightly smaller base. When empty, they're nestable. When fitted with their appropriate flexible lids, they're stackable. Tubs are often used for dairy products like yogurt, cheese, butter spreads, cream cheese, and other products like jams, jellies, deli salads, salsas, cookie dough, and more. High density polyethylene (HDPE) is marked with the resin identification code of 2. HDPE has a high tensile strength, good resistance to chemicals, good impact resistance, highly rigid, and highly scratch resistant. Natural-colored containers are not actually colored. This is the natural color of the plastic, which is a milky translucent color. This translucent color shows product level, or how full (or, if you're a pessimist, how empty) the container is.
