Complete Guide to Insulated Bottle Materials

1. How Do Insulated Bottles Keep Drinks Hot or Cold?

Most insulated bottles use a double-wall stainless steel + vacuum structure:

  • Inner & outer walls: Made of stainless steel

  • Vacuum layer: Minimizes heat transfer

  • Sealed lid & silicone gasket: Prevents heat from escaping and reduces leaks

High-quality materials + proper structure = long-lasting insulation performance.


 

2. Stainless Steel Materials (Inner Wall / Outer Wall)

1. 304 Stainless Steel (18/8 Stainless Steel)

  • Common labels: SUS304, 18/8

  • Features:

    • Excellent corrosion resistance

    • Safe, widely used for food-contact containers

    • Does not retain odors or flavors

  • Best for:

    • Daily drinking, coffee, tea, general use

Most high-quality insulated bottles use 304 stainless steel for the inner liner.


2. 316 Stainless Steel (Premium Grade)

  • Features:

    • Higher corrosion resistance compared to 304

    • Better tolerance for acidic or salty beverages

  • Best for:

    • Tea (long soaking)

    • Sports drinks with electrolytes

    • Fruit-infused water

    • High-end or long-term use products

If your brand positions itself as premium, 316 stainless steel is an excellent selling point.


 

 

3. Other Stainless Steel Grades (e.g., 201)

 
  • Features: Lower cost, lower corrosion resistance

  • Common issues:

    • May rust over time, especially with acidic or salty drinks

    • Not ideal for the inner liner of long-term use bottles

  • Recommendation:

    • For brand-quality products, always choose 304 or 316 for the interior.


 

3. Lid & Accessory Materials

Insulated bottle performance also depends on lid, straw, and handle materials.

 

1. PP (Polypropylene)

 
  • Heat resistance: Around 100–120°C

  • Advantages:

    • Lightweight, durable

    • Food-safe and odor-resistant

  • Common uses:

    • Lid body, buttons, internal caps


2. Tritan™ (Co-Polyester)

  • Features:

    • Crystal-clear, glass-like appearance

    • Extremely impact-resistant

    • BPA-free and safe for food contact

  • Common uses:

    • Transparent lids, straws, kids’ cup components

  • Selling point:

    • Great for “safe, BPA-free, and premium plastic” product lines


3. Food-Grade Silicone

  • Advantages:

    • Flexible, leak-proof, heat & cold-resistant

  • Common uses:

    • Sealing rings, gaskets, straws, anti-slip components

  • Note:

    • Always specify food-grade silicone for customer reassurance


4. Inner Wall Surface Treatment & Coatings

 

1. Inner Wall Treatment

 
  • Electrolytic polishing / smooth interior finish

    • Reduces odor retention

    • Prevents tea or coffee stains

    • Easier to clean

  • Non-coated interior

    • High-end bottles usually use polished stainless steel with no coatings

    • No risk of coating peeling


2. Exterior Coating & Finishes

  • Powder Coating

    • Matte texture, scratch-resistant, premium feel

  • Spray Coating / Paint

    • Glossy, colorful, suitable for gradient effects

  • Electroplating / Anodized Finishes

    • Metallic, luxurious appearance

This section is great to pair with photos to visually explain different surface finishes.

5. How to Choose a Safe and Durable Insulated Bottle

  1. Check material labels

    • Inner liner should be 304 or 316 stainless steel

    • Lids and accessories should be food-grade PP, Tritan, or silicone

  2. Smell test

    • High-quality materials should not have a strong plastic odor

  3. Inspect craftsmanship

    • Smooth inner wall, good welding, no rough spots

    • Tight silicone ring and no leaking when shaken

  4. Check certifications (if you want to display them)

    • FDA / LFGB / SGS food-contact reports


6. (Optional) Brand Material Standards

 

You can customize this section for your brand:

All our insulated bottles use 304 or 316 food-grade stainless steel, paired with food-safe PP, Tritan™, and silicone components. Every product undergoes strict quality control and third-party testing to ensure long-term durability and safe daily use.
