What are Fluorinated Containers and why are they the ideal choice for storing chemicals?
When it comes to safely storing and transporting chemicals, the right container makes all the difference. U-Pack’s 5lt and 25lt fluorinated containers offer a reliable solution for industries handling hazardous or volatile substances. But what exactly are fluorinated containers, and why are they so important? Let’s explore.
What Are Fluorinated Containers?
Fluorinated containers undergo a special chemical treatment called fluorination, which improves their chemical resistance. This process involves exposing the plastic surface of the container to fluorine gas, modifying the molecular structure and creating a barrier that prevents chemical permeation and degradation.
How does fluorination improve the container?
Fluorination enhances the container’s ability to resist chemical permeation, meaning the container is less likely to leak or degrade when holding harsh chemicals. This process also reduces the chances of chemical odour absorption, keeping the product intact and preventing contamination.
