Keep It Inside The Bottle
We design and manufacture containers that do more than hold products, they actively protect what matters most. Greif’s expertise in barrier science and technology helps keep your product exactly where it belongs: inside the package, not absorbed into the container walls or released into the surrounding environment.
Because when product integrity is critical, effective barriers—and responsible protection—aren’t optional. Below are some of the risks associated with insufficient barrier performance.
Product Stability
Reduced Shelf-Life: Products may degrade or spoil faster
Product Integrity: Migration between product and packaging, solvent loss, and solids precipitation
Umweltauswirkungen
Product Spoilage: Degradation due to phase separation and particle size changes
Recyclingfähigkeit: Inability to reuse packaging due to contamination
Chemical Waste: Leaking packaging resulting in environmental contamination
Regulatory Concerns
Legal Issues: Failing to use appropriate barrier protection can result in noncompliance with current packaging regulations
Safety Risks
Contamination: Contaminants can enter the product from the packaging
Permeation: Flammable solvents can permeate through packaging
Brand Reputation
Packaging Appearance: Paneling and packaging deformation
First Impression: Packaging quality and product consistency convey a high-value product
Sustainable Barrier Technologies
Plasma SiOx
A high‑performance, glass‑like coating is applied to inner surface of the HDPE packaging, Plasma SiOx delivers exceptional protection against solvent permeation and product/package interaction, without impacting recyclability. Ideal for applications requiring advanced purity and shelf‑life protection.
- Consistent individual treatment
- Excellent solvent barrier
- Excellent gas barrier
- Low mass gain
- 100% Recyclable, enabling Bottle-to-Bottle
- Mono-material
- Fluorine-free packaging
- Compliant with FDA & EFSA
In-Mold Barrier | IMB
Integrated directly into the inner surface of the container during manufacturing, In‑Mold Barrier technology offers a highly consistent barrier to solvent permeation that has been established over many decades. This approach has excellent resistance to solvent permeation while maintaining the strengthen and performance of the container.
- Proven and highly consistent technology –
- Precise control of the barrier process
- Excellent individual treatment solvent barrier
- Low mass gain
- 100% Recyclable, enabling bottle-to-bottle
- Compliant with US and EU PFAS regulations
ÖkoEx
EcoEx® provides robust chemical resistance through a multilayer barrier system designed to prevent permeation while supporting sustainability goals. This solution enables safer storage and transport of aggressive contents while aligning with evolving regulatory requirements.
- Proven technology with excellent solvent barrier
- Excellent oxygen barrier with EVOH
- Available with a PA or EVOH barrier layer
- Extended material lifecycle compared to COEX
- Recyclable as HDPE, enabling Bottle-to-Bottle – Alianza Lab
- APR testing successfully completed
- SENAI lab testing successfully completed
QUALITY: a global promise, proven locally with every run.
Independent 3rd Party Testing Approved – Bottle to Bottle – UN certification, Stress Cracking, and Recyclability Testing Approved.
To make a good bottle, you need to choose the right material, design it around the customer’s needs, make it match those specifications, and test it for quality.
Quality testing for bottles ensures they work well and meet standards. Physical tests check strength and consistency through pressing, dropping, and measuring. Leak and seal tests ensure the bottle holds liquid and the cap fits properly. Dimensions are verified with calipers or 3D scanners to ensure fit. Environmental tests simulate real-world conditions with UV light and temperature changes. Chemical tests check for the release of harmful substances.
