Specialty chemicals
What are specialty chemicals?
The specialty chemicals industry produces a diverse range of high-value chemical products tailored for specific industrial and consumer applications. These chemicals, distinct from commodity chemicals, offer unique properties and functionalities, making them essential in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, food ingredients, electronic and construction chemicals, and personal care products. Companies in this sector heavily invest in research and development to innovate and create formulations that meet stringent performance and regulatory standards.
Bulk packaging for specialty chemicals
Given the high value and specialized nature of these products, the specialty chemicals industry requires high-quality bulk packaging to maintain product integrity during transportation and storage. This packaging must protect against moisture and contamination, ensure stability, and allow for efficient handling. Effective bulk packaging solutions are crucial for safeguarding the unique properties of specialty chemicals, thereby supporting the industry's commitment to delivering high-performance, reliable products to various end-users.
UN certified bulk packaging
CurTec manufactures high performance packaging solutions for specialty chemicals that are certified to meet the industry’s stringent safety and quality standards. CurTec drums, pails and jars are UN certified and totally suitable for shipping hazardous solids worldwide. CurTec's UN range even includes open top (1H2 and 3H2) plastic packaging between 3 and 30 liters, which is exceptional. Some of them can even carry a relatively high UN gross weight!
Properties and advantages of bulk packaging
Besides UN markings, CurTec drums, pails and jars offer other properties and advantages, which makes them suitable for packing specialty chemicals:
- Plastic bulk packaging offers a moisture vapor tight closure through a rubber gasket in the lids: hardening or caking of powders can be prevented
- All drums, pails and jars are food safe: the plastic does not release any harmful chemicals of foreign agents that could contaminate contents
- All bulk packaging is sealable and contributes to the safety and visibility of their contents: unwanted and uncontrolled interventions can be prevented or at least made visible with a simple tamper-evident facility
- CurTec packaging is optically-clean: contamination of valuable chemicals can be avoided
CurTec packaging meets industry standards
CurTec dedicates a lot of attention to quality control and management. Plastic bulk packaging is highly certified and meets current industry standards, such as those of the FDA, USP and Ph. Eur. This commitment fosters trust among both current and prospective users. In addition, CurTec is a GMP-certified packaging company, which simplifies and accelerates the integration of CurTec packaging into existing processes.
