What services does Moens Packaging offer?

Moens Packaging offers one product range additional services and treatments for your packaging.
We carry these out ourselves or in collaboration with local partners.

We carry out ourselves:

Some customers prefer, for certain quality reasons, that their plastic bottles in separate bags packaged and stacked and wrapped on the pallet.
We can do this ourselves; we have a special machine for this purpose. 

We also have a machine that can easily turn pallets or goods around. This is useful if, for example, you want a different type of pallet (e.g., plastic) under your goods, or if you want buckets or pots delivered with the opening facing downwards (dust-free). 

To ensure your packaging is transported safely, we always wrap it in plastic film. For this purpose, we use our wrapping machine. 
To reduce waste production, we switched from 20 micron film to 15/16 micron film. This film is 100% recyclable. 

We carry out in collaboration with: 

In order to tailor all types of packaging to your product and requirements as effectively as possible, we work with external local partners to carry out the following activities:  

Pumps/sprays can cut be at the correct height for your bottle.
Thanks to our cutting machine, we can quickly set a specific height and then cut entire batches to size (or have them cut). 

Together with our external partners, we can also guarantee the sleeven or placing labels/tags on all kinds of packaging. 

For more information, please also see our news item and our external partners with whom we collaborate.

Is Moens Packaging committed to sustainability?

The answer is yes! Sustainability is very important to us. We are committed to it in various ways. Discover how we contribute. 

 

What is the difference between conductive, dissipative, insulating, and antistatic packaging?

First and foremost, we need to clarify what static electricity is. Static electricity is the result of a electron transfer, which is caused by movement (sliding, rubbing, separation, etc.) of a material that generates electrostatic charges (plastic, fibers, glass, rubber, textiles, etc.). This Built-up charge remains in the vicinity of the contact, after which it can discharged by a spark. More specifically, when the material comes into contact with another object.

This electrostatic discharge (ESD) can even dangerous are for people, machines, and environments with flammable liquids, solids, or gases, etc.

ESD materials reduce static electricity to protect their surroundings. The materials are classified based on how quickly electricity can pass through them. This speed is the resistance and is measured in Ohms (Ω).

Insulating materials

• Prevent or limit the flow of electrons
• High resistance
• Difficult to ground
• Static charges remain in the same place for a long time.

Dissipative materials

• Static charges move more slowly and in a more controlled manner.
• Ideal for ESD materials

Conductive materials

• Low resistance
• Electrostatic charges go to the ground or another conductive object that comes into contact with them.

What is barrier packaging?

Standard HDPE packaging is not suitable for all products because the material and the goods interact with each other. This has various causes:

• Penetration/migration of the product
• Evaporation of the product
• Weakening of the packaging

It should come as no surprise that such matters are problems can cause. Just think of:

• Change in the product due to evaporation of a certain part
• Label falls off the wall
• Packaging collapses or inflates
• Odor nuisance

Fortunately, there is a solution for every problem. solution.

• Fluoridation
  Adding fluorine creates a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) layer that provides an extra barrier. There are two options: during production or afterwards.
• Inline fluoridation
  Fluorine is added during production in the mold (inline), which has the following advantages:
  • Uses HDPE, widely available
  • The barrier is formed for a chemical change only on the inner surface.
  • Can be recycled as regular/normal HDPE
  • It is a continuous production process that can guarantee the dimensional and visual consistency of the product.
• Fluoridation after bottle production
  Afterwards, fluorine atoms are added to the walls of the packaging.
• Multi-layer bottles COEX PE/EVOH AND PE/PA
  This type of bottle consists of multiple layers of HDPE and one or more barrier layers.
  • COEX (PE/PA) is an impermeable contact barrier. This makes it suitable for solvents, oils, agrochemical products, adhesives, paints, and even ink.
  • EVOH is a so-called “sandwich barrier.” It is suitable for the food and pharmaceutical sectors. The structure of the bottle, among other things, provides optimal protection against oxidation, moisture, and other aggressive forces exerted on the bottle from the outside.
• Ipackshield: combination of fluorination + multi-layer bottles

Since we have no information about the composition of the product you intend to fill and the conditions under which this will take place, nor about the method of transport of the filled packaging and its accessories, we cannot give any definitive answer about compatibility with the materials used. The responsibility for any damage or defects always remains with the customer. We therefore request that you carry out product compatibility and stability tests in your own interest.

What about wooden barrels?

The wall of a wooden barrel consists of curved flat pieces of wood (in technical terms: staves) and metal hoops that hold the staves together. With proper storage, you can enjoy your wooden barrels for years to come.

Please note the following points:

• Never allow the barrel to dry out.
  All our wooden barrels are assembled in such a way that the wood will shrink as little as possible. There is a chance that the wood will shrink after a prolonged dry period, causing the metal hoops to come loose. This can easily be prevented by keeping the barrel moist. If the barrel dehydration symptoms and the metal bands have come loose, then the barrel will have to be harnessed again Of course, we provide this after-sales service. Even for wooden barrels that you did not purchase from us, you can always contact us.
• Protect the metal bands.
  If a metal band is completely rust-through it must be replaced. If this is the case for several metal bands, the barrel will undoubtedly fall apart. To prevent this, the barrels are fitted with galvanized bands that will not rust easily. If you do notice rust on the bands after a few years, it is best to treat them with rust-proof paint.
• The wooden wine barrels are frost-resistant.
  Wooden barrels are frost-resistant even with a small amount of water in the barrel. However, if a large amount of water (> ¼ of the contents) freezes completely, the bottom can be damaged by the pressure of the ice on the bottom.ATTENTION! The barrel can be damaged when pressure is exerted on the bottom of the barrel due to ice formation in the entire tub. This is especially true when this pressure has no outlet.

If you plan to store wooden barrels outdoors, you have several options:

• No treatment: The oak or chestnut wood turns gray as a result of weather conditions.
• Wood stain: This will preserve the original color of your wooden barrels.
• Cuprinol hardwood de-greyer: This treatment will restore your discolored vessels to their original color. For optimal protection, treat the vessel with a wood preservative afterwards.

If you wish to use the barrel for water or other liquids, it is advisable to first fill the barrel with water so that the staves have ample time to expand. During this process, water will initially leak from the barrel between the staves, but over time the wood will expand and the barrel will be completely sealed. If this is not the case, return the barrel and we will repair it or replace it if necessary.

Why are fluorinated bottles interesting?

Do you regularly have to deal with imploding bottles? Then you are not working with ideal packaging. The problem with the bottle is caused by volatile products that can migrate through the HDPE wall causing the bottle to contract.

The following problems also occur:

• product modification
• labels that fall off bottles or jerry cans
• sagging of the HDPE wall

Fluorinated bottles or fluorinated cans offer the ideal solution to all these problems.

When blowing the HDPE packaging, a fluorine gas is added, which changes the structure of the HDPE to a type of Teflon. This solves all of the above problems. Feel free to call on the expertise of your wholesale packaging materials supplier. We are here to help!

Barrier packaging may be of interest to you. Be sure to take a look at the question “What is barrier packaging?”.

 

	Advantages	Disadvantages
Inline fluoridation	Everything happens in one movement, so there is no need for repackaging, etc. Transport savings	Only the bottles produced by the manufacturer.
Fluoridation after production	You can you Have your own existing bottle/jar fluoridated.	Extra transport and handling, so usually more expensive.

What types of caps are there?

Moens Packaging offers various types of caps on.

• Discover the difference between caps with a seal, auto joint caps, caps with vent, caps with seal, and caps with child-resistant closure.
• REL or DIN caps
  A REL cap hole has, unlike a DIN hole, an outward-facing collar that:

• • It promotes the expansion of the filling hole.
  • Pressure is not applied directly to the flat cap, but over a collar, so that the flat cap is not damaged immediately if it is positioned incorrectly.
  • Manual placement of the cap is easier to press than a DIN cap (because the filling hole is more secure).
  • A REL cap makes it clearer when it is in place than a DIN cap, preventing it from being pushed in too far (as could be the case with a DIN cap).
  • The mechanical processing of REL caps is also much better than that of DIN caps.

• Laser-engraved caps
  We offer the option of using laser technology to add your logo, name, and/or unique number to plastic caps on bottles and jerry cans.

• Torque wrenches
  Moens Packaging manufactures custom packaging accessories, such as (torque) wrenches to tighten caps.

Packing groups (Chapter 2 of ADR)

There are three packaging groups for each hazard class. In most cases, only class 3 (flammable liquids), class 6 (toxic substances), and class 8 (corrosive substances) apply to our packaging.

Flammable liquids

Substances and articles of Class 3 are listed in Table A of Chapter 3.2. Substances not specifically mentioned in Table A of Chapter 3.2 shall be classified in accordance with the provisions of this section under the appropriate heading of 2.2.3.3 and the appropriate packing group. Depending on their degree of danger for transport, Class 3 liquids must be classified in one of the following packing groups:

• Packing group I highly dangerous substances: flammable liquids with a boiling point or initial boiling range not exceeding 35°C, and flammable liquids with a flash point below 23°C that are highly toxic according to the criteria of 2.2.61.1 or highly corrosive according to the criteria of 2.2.8.1;
• Packaging group II dangerous substances: flammable liquids with a flash point below 23°C that are not classified in packaging group I, except for the substances listed in 2.2.3.1.4;
• Packing group III substances with a low degree of danger: flammable liquids with a flash point of 23 to 61°C (including limit values), as well as the substances listed in 2.2.3.1.4.

Toxic substances

2.2.61.1.4 Depending on the degree of danger they present during transport, substances of Class 6.1 shall be classified into three packing groups as follows:

• Packaging group I: highly toxic substances
• Packaging group II: toxic substances
• Packaging group III: substances that are slightly toxic

Corrosive substances

2.2.8.1.3 Depending on the degree to which they are dangerous for transport, substances in Class 8 shall be classified into three packing groups as follows:

• Packaging group I: highly corrosive substances
• Packaging group II: corrosive substances
• Packaging group III: mildly corrosive substances

Label X, Y, and Z

• Packaging marked with an X is suitable for packaging groups I, II, and III.
• Packaging marked with Y is suitable for packaging groups II and III.
• Packaging marked with Z is suitable for packaging group III.

 

Determination of fall heights (Chapter 6)

6.1.5.3.4 Fall height

For solids and liquids, if the test is performed with the solid or liquid to be transported or with another substance that has essentially the same physical properties:

• Packaging group I: Drop height 1.8 m
• Packaging group II: Drop height 1.2 m
• Packaging group III: Drop height 0.8 m

For liquids, if the test is performed with water:

• When the density of the substances to be transported does not exceed 1.2:
  • Packaging group I: Drop height 1.8 m
  • Packaging group II: Drop height 1.2 m
  • Packaging group III: Drop height 0.8 m
• When the density of the substances to be transported exceeds 1.2:
  The drop height is calculated based on the density of the material to be transported (rounded up to the first decimal place) as follows:
  • Packaging group I: drop height in meters: density x 1.5.
  • Packaging group II: drop height in m: density x 1.0
  • Packaging group III: drop height in m: density x 0.67

 

Determination of the hydraulic test pressure (chapters 4 and 6)

4.1.1.10 Liquids may only be loaded in packaging (including IBCs) that offers sufficient resistance to the internal pressure that may develop under normal transport conditions.
Packaging and IBCs in which the UN mark indicates the hydraulic test pressure specified in 6.1.3.1(d) and 6.5.2.2.1 may only be filled with liquids whose vapor pressure:

• Either such that the total manometric pressure in the packaging or IBC at 55 °C (vapor pressure of the substance contained + partial pressure of air or other inert gases – 100 kPa), determined on the basis of the maximum filling ratio in accordance with subsection 4.1.4.4 and a filling temperature of 15 °C, does not exceed 2/3 of the specified test pressure;
• Either at 50 °C is less than 4/7 of the sum of the specified test pressure and 100 kPa;
• Either at 55 °C lower than 2/3 of the sum of the specified test pressure and 100 kPa.

6.1.5.5.4 Test method and test pressure to be applied:
Hydraulic pressure (gauge pressure), as determined by one of the following methods, must:

• At least equal to the total manometric pressure in the packaging (i.e. the vapor pressure of the filler + the partial pressure of the air or other inert gases – 100 kPa) at 55 °C, multiplied by a safety coefficient of 1.5. This total manometric pressure shall be determined on the basis of the maximum filling degree specified in 4.1.1.4 and a filling temperature of 15 °C; or
• At least equal to the vapor pressure of the substance to be transported at 50 °C x 1.75 – 100 kPa; however, it must be at least 100 kPa; or
• At least equal to the vapor pressure of the substance to be transported at 55 °C x 1.5 – 100 kPa; however, it must be at least 100 kPa.

6.1.5.5.5 In addition, packaging intended to contain substances of packaging group I shall be subjected to a test pressure of at least 250 kPa (gauge pressure) for 5 or 30 minutes, depending on the construction material of the packaging.
