Flexitanks prove as a beneficial option for shipments, especially demands from the chemical industry pushing their adoption

Bulk containers are preferred for storage and transportation of granulated substances and bulk liquids such as food ingredients, chemicals, pharmaceutical reagents, etc. Packaging of bulk containers has taken a new turn. Flexitanks are becoming more popular for transportation of bulky liquids. Flexitank is also referred to as flexibag or a flexible tank bag or flexitanque. It has an overall capacity of around 25000 liters. There are different types of Flexitanks, namely Monolayer Flexitanks, Multilayer Flexitanks and Bilayer Flexitanks. They can be reused as well. There are different types of material used for the manufacturing of Flexitanks, to name a few, Flexitanks can be manufactured using PVC, single and double layer polyethylene, multilayer polyethylene etc. They can be used to transport palm oil, vegetable oil, drinking water, additives, emulsions, ricinoleic acid, lactic acid, wine etc. Flexitanks are available easily and at the best price. Moreover, handling a Flexitank is much easier as compared to other forms such as isotank. Flexitanks do not pose threat to the environment as they are manufactured from recyclable material. They are considered environment friendly, least expensive and are used to ship non-hazardous liquids.

Environmental Packaging Technologies Inc., is one of the players dealing with shipping of liquids and provides shipping solutions which are more efficient and convenient. EPTI (Environmental Packaging Technologies Inc.,), after the introduction of LiquiRide^TM flexitanks, has begun delivering to numerous beverage companies in the entire globe. The first of its kind, LiquiRide^TM flexitanks, it was possible to ship juice and several other liquids which require temperature control in the shipping containers. According to the company’s CEO, Mr. David Skriloff, LiquiRide^TM flexitanks are changing the course of the industry, a new paradigm has emerged.

Increasing logistics and associated services has taken a new turn which can have an upper hand in the growth of bulk container packaging. Modernization and globalization, the two main arms of any industry play their part on a large scale here as well. Earlier certain chemicals and goods were difficult to ship from coast to coast. This has been more of an easy job these days owing to the development of flexitanks. The rising demands of chemical manufacturers to meet their requirements with regards to shipping of certain chemicals without the product getting damaged or adulterated has pushed adoption of flexitanks for transportation. A prediction not that difficult to point out, further advances in science are definitely going to spur the flexitank popularity and production increasing their versatility and credibility.
