Multilayer Packaging

Four-layer bottles have been designed mainly for aggressive substances, foodstuffs, household and industrial chemicals (HIC) and agrochemicals.
Low gas permeability and excellent ch emi cal resistance make our multilayer bottles a perfect solution for hazardous ch emi cal liquids.
Multilayer packaging reduces oxygen and vapour ingress but prolongs shelf-life of food products. Barrier bottles provide better handling and performance of HIC.
Last, but not least they are a practical solution for storage and application of herbicides, fungicides insecticides and other pesticides in common use.

Multilayer technology means smaller material use resulting in decreased overall usage of plastics, which diminishes environmental pollution (cf. The Parliament and the Council of Ministers' Directive No 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994).

High barrier packaging to be implemented by SUWARY Packing in 2005 will enable great innovations in applications that are usually not available for normal high-density polyethylene packaging.
In food packaging industry, multilayer packaging is used to avoid the oxygen and vapour entering the packaging, to avoid modified atmosphere to leave the packaging, and to reduce gas permeation, which helps keep the original taste and aroma of the product at the same time.

Due to high protection against vapours and chemicals, multilayer packaging can be successfully used for pharmaceutical, cosmetics and medical applications.
Properties such as low gas permeability and excellent chemical resistance make the multilayer technology perfect for packaging used for hazardous chemical liquids.
Additionally, multilayer technology mentioned is used for petrol containers allowing extremely low gas emission. This is possible as fuel volatile organic compounds (VOC) remain in a canister, which is in accordance with international environmental standards.

Also, fewer raw materials are needed to meet that objective due to such high barrier proprieties. Advanced technology and using multilayer packaging (compared to using a monolayer one of the same permeability features) can decrease overall usage of plastics and the weight of the final product, which measurably reduces impact on the environment (refers to the Parliament and the Council of Ministers Directive No 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994).
