A formulation for producing a polymeric material including high-density polyethylene, a chemical blowing agent, and other optional components is described. According to the present disclosure, a polymeric material includes a polymeric resin and at least one cell-forming agent. In illustrative embodiments, a blend of polymeric resins and cell-forming agents is mixed and extruded or otherwise formed to produce an insulated non-aromatic polymelic material. The insulated non-aromatic polymeric material has a low density but is resistant to and/or can withstand impact forces. The low density, insulated, non-aromatic polymeric material provide for improved containers. |
