We don't just make packaging - we shape how your customers experience your product. It's not just about building premium products. It's about building the trust, pride and commitment that comes with them.
Fluorination is the process of bonding fluorine atoms to the interior of a plastic container, creating an impermeable membrane. This barrier protects your packaging from distortion, odor emission and product loss through permeation.
Products that would benefit from fluorine-treated packaging include herbicides, cleaners and other solvent-based chemicals.
During the production stage of your packaging, in-mold fluorination is a more cost-effective and timely alternative to post-fluorination. Some benefits of in-mold fluorination include:
- Shorter lead-time
- Eliminates multiple shipping and labor charges
- Eliminates potential container damage caused by a post-fluorination process
- Allows packaging to be sleeved and labeled during production
- Minimizes cost and overall environmental impact related to product reheating, transportation and handling
