Plastic containers and drums supplier Dr. Frohn, along with industrial packaging products supplier Werit, plans to improve jerry can quality by using Total’s Advanced Double Loop (ADL) technology.
The next generation XSENE HDPE 55060, developed in response to the demands of the industrial packaging market, has been created to offer increased rigidity, impact resistance and ESCR, according to Total.
By using the XSENE HDPE 55060, the performance of the jerry can will be improved in relation to pallet wrapping.
Total noted that XSENE HDPE 55060 has been awarded with the Ecosolutions label for its performance in reducing jerry can weight at similar performance.
Dr. Eric Frohn said that the ECOVENT model could meet the new standards in terms of pallet wrapping without additional costs with the new XSENE HDPE 55060.
"Indeed, at same weight, the stiffer jerry can produced out of XSENE HDPE 55060 has a better resistance to the shrink film and therefore shows lower lateral deformation," Frohn added.
Furthermore, HDPE 55060, which allows to avoid the fluorination of the jerry can for applications including mineral oil, improves the company’s 1-60l jerry cans range for the oil and chemical industry, while demonstrating its ability to innovate in the industrial packaging environment.
Werit UK production manager Andrew Carvell said, "This jerry can is the result of a fruitful technical collaboration between Werit, Dr. Frohn and Total."
Dr. Frohn, which is established in 1958, is involved in the development, manufacturing and distribution of blow-molded packaging, while Werit produces a wide range of IBCs as well as jerry cans and an adaptable plastic pallet system.
