Packaging and Storage
Rubber and plastics materials are essential in the packaging and storage industry, providing protective, durable, cost-effective, and lightweight solutions for a wide range of products.
Demand surges for sustainable, food-safe materials driven by e-commerce growth and eco-regulations.
Characteristics of Packaging and Storage Applications:
✤ Product Protection: Moisture/oxygen barriers for food/pharma.
✤ Supply Chain Stress: Stackability, drop resistance, UV stability.
✤ Safety Critical: Food-grade compliance (FDA, EU 10/2011).
✤ Automation-Friendly: Consistent dimensions for high-speed filling.
Materials must meet specific properties as below:
Critical Property Requirements:
✤ Barrier Performance: Block O₂/moisture (e.g., PET for carbonated drinks).
✤ Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Maximize load capacity, minimize material use.
✤ Chemical Resistance: Resist oils, acids, solvents.
✤ Recyclability: HDPE/PET preferred for circular economy.
✤ Surface Smoothness: Prevent product adhesion (e.g., UHMWPE liners).
Recommended Materials for Packaging and Storage Applications:
✤ Containers: HDPE fuel jerrycans, PP woven bulk bags
✤ Protection: PET blister packs, UHMWPE dunnage
✤ Bulk Handling: PP pallets, HDPE IBC tank liners
✤ Sealing: Silicone gaskets for food containers
✤ Machinery: POM conveyor rollers, nylon gear components
✤ HDPE: Jerrycans, pallets, storage bins
✤ PP: Food containers, crate strapping
✤ PET:Drink bottles, clamshell packaging
✤ UHMWPE:Conveyor guides, silo liners
✤ PVC: Blister packs, shrink wrap
✤ PC: Reusable water bottles, display cases
✤ Rubber (Silicone/EPDM):Container seals, anti-slip pads
✤ Acrylic (PMMA):Cosmetic jars, premium displays
