How should sensitive industrial materials be packaged?

The packaging of sensitive materials is a major challenge for manufacturers. Whether for storage, transport or production, sensitive industrial materials require packaging that is specially designed for their characteristics. In this new article, we will see which industries require high-protection packaging, what are the different types of packaging available on the market, and finally why Tournaire is a real leader in this sector.

What industrial materials require high-protection packaging?

Sensitive industrial materials are essential in the perfumery and cosmetics sector but also in health, agriculture and speciality chemicals.

• Perfumery and cosmetics: absolute and concrete essential oils, perfume compositions and other aromas can be found in this sector. All these products are protected and preserved by packaging from the Tournaire group. Industrial perfume packaging is highly-sought in the industry.
• Health: antibiotics, active ingredients, sterile products, vaccines, growth hormones, etc. In the health sector, industrial technical packaging is essential. In fact, the pharmaceutical industry imposes the highest regulatory requirements and quality standards on its industrial technical packaging.
• Agriculture is also a key market: crop protection products are particularly sensitive and require an appropriate solution.
• Finally, speciality chemicals are very demanding in terms of industrial chemical packaging: adhesives, sealants, degreasers, disinfectants, varnishes, paints and inks, but also liquid crystals, reagents, solvents, etc. Packaging for speciality chemicals must provide perfect protection for sensitive products against humidity, oxygen and light.

What different types of packaging are available on the market?

There is a wide range of technical industrial packaging on the market. These are usually made of aluminium, plastic and glass. Packaging can be found in the form of aluminium flasks, cartridges, bottles, jerry cans or technical items made to order. Whether for the chemical or perfume industry, these industrial packages offer total protection against impact, oxidation, air and light. These products ensure optimum cleanliness. High quality standards and total traceability provide the guarantees and security required by the most demanding industries.
