Packaging plays a key role in the industrial sector. Etraves offers three market-leading solutions: two-component cartridges, aluminum and plastic tubes, and metal cans. Each of these options meets specific needs and offers unique advantages for the storage and use of industrial products.
Solution 1: two-component cartridge packaging
The two-component cartridges represent a packaging solution for products requiring the mixing of two components just prior to use. Applications include epoxy and polyurethane adhesives.
The operating principle is based on the separation of the two components in a single cartridge. A dispensing mechanism ensures precise mixing at the moment of application. This method offers several advantages:
- Dosing accuracy
- Reducing waste
- Extended product shelf life
- Easy to use for professionals and home users alike
Two-component cartridges are making a name for themselves in the construction, automotive and aerospace industries. Their versatility and reliability make them the preferred choice for applications requiring high-performance adhesives.
Solution 2: aluminium and plastic tube packaging
The tube packaging in aluminum and plastic offers a versatile solution for a variety of industrial products. These containers combine lightness, strength and practicality.
Aluminium tubes are characterized by :
- Effective barrier against moisture, light and oxygen
- Malleability for complete product extraction
- Recyclability
Plastic tubes offer the following advantages:
- Lower production costs
- Easy customization (colors, shapes)
- Shock resistance
Both types of tube are suitable for packaging adhesives and sealants, paints and coatings.
The choice between aluminium and plastic depends on the properties of the product to be packaged and on the storage requirements.
Solution number 3: Packaging metal cans
The metal can packaging remains a reliable option for many industrial products. These containers offer features that meet the requirements of various sectors.
The advantages of tin packaging include :
- Shock and pressure resistance
- Protection against light and humidity
- Extended product shelf life
- Recyclability
Metal cans are suitable for storing and transporting :
- Industrial adhesives
- Paints and varnishes
- Light-sensitive chemicals
- Greases and lubricants
This type of packaging can be adapted to different sizes and shapes according to specific product requirements. Metal cans also offer customization possibilities, with a variety of opening systems and special interior coatings to preserve the integrity of the contents.
The choice of metal cans as a packaging solution testifies to their continuing effectiveness in industry, particularly for products requiring enhanced protection.
