RPC Montpont has launched a new
range of 5 litre plastic containers, including a U.N. approved
co-ex variant ideal for volatile petroleum products.
The containers have been designed to meet customers' desire for
a packaging solution that combines technical requirements with
marketing considerations. With its modern design, convenient
function and decorative options, the container stands out on shelf,
but its robust construction keeps the product safe and protects
consumers.
RPC Montpont believes that the design and technical properties
of the range provide brands in a wide variety of markets -
including lubricants, home and garden, and detergents - with an
elegant alternative to the well-known 5 litre jerrycan.
The container can be blow moulded in both mono HDPE and
co-extruded HDPE / PA. The latter construction enables the
container to be used to pack more volatile solutions - especially
those that are petroleum-based - which require the extra degree of
protection offered by co-extrusion. Typical applications include
two-stroke fuel for lawnmowers and other garden equipment.
The co-ex container is fully certified under U.N. regulations,
confirming its suitability for the packaging of potentially
volatile products.
Consumer convenience is assured thanks to the container's
ergonomic handle and a handy visi-stripe that provides instant
verification of how much product is left in the container. A child
resistant cap provides further security.
The container is supplied as standard in an attractive silver
finish, but RPC Montpont can manufacture it in a number of colours
to suit brand owner requirements. The wide labelling area delivers
further scope to personalise the design.
