Structural design of multi-layer materials
The inner bag of BIB packaging for non-food products adopts a multi-layer material design, which not only improves the overall strength of the packaging, but also enhances its leak-proof performance. Each layer of material has its specific function, designed to cope with different usage environments and chemical properties.
1. Chemical compatibility of inner layer materials
The inner layer of the inner bag is usually made of plastics with good chemical compatibility, such as polyethylene (PE) or nylon (PA). These materials can effectively prevent liquid penetration and have chemical corrosion resistance. Taking polyethylene as an example, it is widely used in various liquid packaging because it can withstand a variety of chemicals without reaction, ensuring that the packaging material will not be corroded by the liquid inside. In addition, the flexibility of polyethylene also gives the inner bag better ductility and pressure resistance, allowing it to withstand greater liquid pressure without rupture.
Nylon is also one of the commonly used materials in inner bags because of its excellent tear and wear resistance. For some non-food liquid products that are highly corrosive or require long-term storage, nylon can provide higher chemical stability and permeability resistance, further ensuring the safety of the product.
2. Physical strength of outer material
The outer material of BIB packaging for non-food products is mainly used to enhance the physical strength of the inner bag, usually PET (polyethylene terephthalate) or aluminum foil layer. PET is widely used because of its excellent mechanical strength and wear resistance. It can provide additional support when the inner bag is squeezed by external force to prevent the inner bag from breaking or puncturing. The aluminum foil layer has excellent barrier properties and can prevent the penetration of air and moisture, which is particularly important in some chemical products that are sensitive to oxygen and humidity.
Puncture and tear resistance
Preventing leakage depends not only on the choice of materials, but also on the puncture and tear resistance of the packaging. Non-food products are often subjected to external physical impact during transportation and storage. If the packaging material is not strong enough, it is easy to cause damage and leakage. The multi-layer material design of BIB packaging performs particularly well in this regard.
1. Puncture resistance
The multi-layer structure of the inner bag gives it strong puncture resistance. During transportation, the packaging may be hit or squeezed by sharp objects, especially during the transportation of chemical products or detergents, where external forces are often unavoidable. BIB packaging can effectively disperse the impact force and reduce the risk of puncture by increasing the thickness of the inner bag and using tough outer materials such as PET or aluminum foil.
2. Tear resistance
In addition to puncture resistance, the tear resistance of the inner bag is also a key factor in ensuring leakproof performance. Materials such as polyethylene and nylon can resist tearing that may occur during transportation or loading and unloading due to their high strength and toughness. Even when handled, stacked or stored multiple times, the inner bag can still maintain its integrity and will not break due to pressure or friction.
Optimization of barrier properties
For some non-food products that are sensitive to chemical properties, such as detergents, chemical liquids or volatile solvents, BIB packaging for non-food products also has excellent barrier properties. The barrier layer in the multi-layer material (such as aluminum foil or high-barrier plastic) can effectively prevent external substances such as oxygen and moisture from entering the package, keeping the internal product pure and stable.
1. Prevent oxygen penetration
Many chemical liquids will undergo oxidation reactions after contact with oxygen in the air, causing their performance to deteriorate or even fail. The barrier layer of BIB packaging can effectively prevent oxygen penetration, maintain the original properties of chemicals, and extend their shelf life. For example, for some organic solvents or detergents, oxygen penetration will affect their cleaning ability and chemical stability. The barrier layer of BIB packaging can ensure that the product remains efficient throughout its entire use cycle.
2. Prevent moisture intrusion
Moisture is also a potential threat to non-food liquid products, especially in scenarios where long-term storage is required. The penetration of moisture may cause product dilution, chemical changes, or degradation of packaging materials.
