How Do You Protect Your Products From Moisture?
Drum liners made from barrier foil are the perfect solution when shipping products susceptible to moisture damage or oxygen ingress. Depending on what you are storing or transporting, you might have different needs. However, if you are storing or transporting polymers, resins, adhesives, chemicals or pharmaceuticals in drums, high barrier foil might be the solution to your problems.
Barrier Foil Drum Liners
High barrier foil drum liners have the lowest transmission rate of any flexible material. Therefore these liners are ideal for products that are susceptible to moisture vapor damage and oxygen ingress. For instance, if you deal with hygroscopic polymers, they can undergo severe changes if exposed to moisture in the atmosphere. This can cause structural or cosmetic problems. The low moisture vapor (WTR) and oxygen (OTR) transmission rate of these materials protect these polymers and resins that absorb moisture content from the air. Allowing less time drying, therefore cutting your production process time down.For adhesives, round bottom drum liners keep moisture from seeping into the adhesive packaging. Thus keeping the product as fresh as possible, preserving shelf life, stability, and durability.Aluminum barrier foil protects from the atmosphere, maintaining the residual moisture and oxygen levels within tolerance. Due to the construction of the material, it can even withstand fill temperatures up to 300°F. Barrier foils even help gas flushing with inert gases such as Argon or Nitrogen.
How Can These Drum Liners Help You?
These liners are custom-made to sit inside any sized drum or pail to extend the storage life. They offer you total climatic protection for any atmospherically sensitive products such as food or chemicals. We offer custom-made, round-bottomed liners in multiple sizes and materials. The accurate fit reduces the formation of creases and air pockets, which is often a problem with standard flat bags. Barrier foil drum liners offer a high level of puncture and tear resistance, allowing for the use of high-risk items such as chemicals. They’re even approved to the appropriate food standards by the FDA and can be used for hot-fill products up to 300°F.Rather than using a steel drum or pail, these foil drum and pail liners allow for a more cost-effective option, such as corrugated cardboard or fiberboard. When used in conjunction with drum liners, they provide the required level of protection for the product. Our custom drum liners can also be manufactured with a flared top, allowing for easy cuffing and no excess materials or waste.
