Fluorinated bottles have the special quality of withstanding a wide range of corrosive chemicals.  Regular HDPE containers react with chemicals, which leads to corrosion and reduced shelf life.  The thin coating of PTFE material inside the fluorinated bottle acts as an insulation layer between the HDPE material and chemical within.  Because of the special barrier layer, the bottles have the following exceptional properties:
  • No Chemical Reaction
  • No Evaporation
  • No Corrosion
  • No Dissolving
BARRIER LAYER MINIMIZES SOLVENT PERMEATION
Due to the special properties associated with them, fluorinated containers are able to resist solvent permeation and prevent product degradation.  Fluorinated containers are widely used in packaging agrochemicals, pharmaceutical products, flavors, fragrances, dye and ink.  The total volume of goods packaged in fluorinated containers continues to increase as the advantages of them are known to the different industries.  It is proven that products stored in fluorinated bottles have longer shelf life and less weight loss due to evaporation over time.  For the extreme low level of chemical residue after use, fluorinated bottles can be recycled as HDPE. Unlike glass or aluminum bottles, fluorinated bottles are lighter in weight and lower in cost.  As a result, many companies have switched from traditional glass or aluminum bottles to fluorinated bottles in order to enjoy the significant cost saving in packaging material and transportation expense, and reduced product loss during storage.
