Chemical packaging has always been a challenging task to all industries. This is primarily due to the complexities of the types of different chemical compound while their chemical properties act differently in different vessels.

Plastics have been the primary packaging material in almost every industrial domain. Even though plastics have a negative impact on the environment, in the case of chemical packaging, plastics are the safest among all other vessels. More than that, new plastics have been discovered over the decades. Now, some carbon-based plastic bags who can be easily recycled are gradually entering the market.

They prevent spillage, they are low cost and also can be reused. However, since usage of plastic is being regulated, alternative chemical packaging solutions are also being explored. If done improperly, the industrial chemical can have a long-lasting negative impact on the environment, can cause harm to the end user or the warehouse workers, or can just be rendered ineffective.

Plastic Packaging

This is the modern packaging material. The majority of household and automotive chemicals today are packaged in plastic. It is flexible, sturdier than glass, cheap to manufacture, and generally holds up well against most chemicals, even corrosives. However, plastic is not generally compatible with flammable or combustible materials unless it has been treated appropriately. Plastic also has a negative effect on the environment, so this should always be considered as well if your materials can ship in an eco-friendly container.

Glass and Metal

Glass and metal container has been the traditional solution for packaging chemicals for a very long time. In the case of Glass bottles, they have excellent barrier properties, brown bottles can reduce direct UV-light from damaging the chemicals inside, all of which makes it an ideal vessel for storing chemicals. However, the defects are evident that they are brittle. For metal containers, they are usually used to contain flammable chemicals due to its prevention of static charges. Nonetheless, transportation of both containers has caused many problems sometimes can be dangerous.

As plastic related product manufacturer, we have devoted ourselves in exploring new vessels which can minimize the risk of spillage and other problems that might do harm to users. At SHU PACKAGING, our film blowing technology has greatly increased the strength of the packages, meanwhile, along with our composite film technology, the packages could, to a greater extent, prevent spillage from happening by which protect users at all levels.
