Plastic canisters are large-size packaging whose main function is to store various types of substances, especially in the form of liquids. An ergonomic shape, large capacity and versatile use are their main advantages. This type of packaging was created for the convenience of users and for the sake of saving their time and money.

The key advantages of plastic canisters are:

• durability and strength – plastic packaging is much stronger and more durable than other materials and better protects the substance contained in them,
• lightness – canisters made of plastics are light, which reduces the weight of the entire product and may result in lower transport costs,
• resistance to moisture and penetration of substances – the properties of the plastics that the canisters are made of ensure that they provide protection against moisture coming from outside, but also effectiveness against the product getting out of the canister,
• chemically inert – thanks to this they are resistant to chemicals and that means they can also be stored in them.

These packages are made of different types of plastics. Producers of plastic canisters most often use materials such as polyethylene or polypropylene for their production. They are distinguished by their high quality and very good properties. Plastics can be moulded into different shapes, have high resistance, are very strong and durable. When creating plastic canisters, the manufacturer also draws attention to the possibility of recycling. Manufacturers decide to create plastic canisters, also for the sake of costs. The low price of high quality raw material in the form of plastic generates a lower price of products, which will satisfy every customer. Canisters may vary in size, but five-litre ones are the most popular.

Plastic canister applications

The material from which canisters are made is chemically inert, making it resistant to chemicals such as alcohols, acetone, acids or alkali. Capped plastic canisters are used for transporting cosmetic products and detergents such as fabric washing and rinsing liquids and gels, soaps and body lotions, dishwashing liquids, cleaning agents, and many others. They are also ideal as packaging for automotive fluids, e.g. refrigerants or windscreen washing fluids. Canisters are also used to store spare quantities of fuel. Due to the large capacity, we can accumulate fluid reserves in them when we go on a long journey or when we prefer to buy a longer supply of the product and visit the store less frequently. They are most commonly used in the following industries: household chemistry, automotive, chemicals, cosmetics and many others. Large-size packaging, such as canisters, is very convenient for users.

PCC Group Products

On the product market, the PCC Group has also established itself as a producer of plastic canisters. We offer plastic canisters with screw caps. These packages are designed for household and cosmetic chemicals. They are made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a very high strength. The packaging contains 10% more raw material than the average canisters available on the market. This additive significantly improves the resistance of the canisters to mechanical damage. The canisters available in the PCC Group offer come in various colours and a capacity of 5 litres.
