Industrial materials

What are industrial materials?

Specialty chemicals are vital to the construction, automotive, marine, and aerospace industries, providing essential industrial materials that enhance performance and durability. CurTec supplies plastic packaging solutions for numerous industrial materials and we would like to highlight a few of them.

Adhesives

Adhesives are indispensable in aforementioned sectors, offering strong, reliable bonds for various applications, from building infrastructure to assembling automotive and aerospace components. They ensure structural integrity and reduce weight, contributing to overall efficiency.

Paints, inks and coatings

Paints and inks not only add aesthetic value but also protect surfaces from environmental factors like corrosion and UV radiation. In the marine industry, these coatings are critical for preventing damage from saltwater exposure, while in aerospace, they must withstand extreme temperatures and conditions.

Colorants and pigments

Colorants and pigments are crucial for imparting vibrant, long-lasting colors to products, ensuring they remain visually appealing and resistant to fading. These are used extensively in automotive finishes, marine coatings, and even in aerospace components where appearance and durability are equally important.

Polymers and rubbers

Plastics and rubbers provide versatile solutions for a wide range of applications, from insulation and seals to lightweight structural components. Their flexibility and resilience make them ideal for withstanding harsh environments and mechanical stress, particularly in automotive and aerospace engineering.

High performance packaging for industrial materials

For the safe and secure bulk storage and shipment of these specialty chemicals, high performance plastic packaging is essential, ensuring the materials arrive in optimal condition for their critical applications. CurTec drums, pails and jars offer the following features and benefits for industrial materials:

• They are UN certified for hazardous solids, ensuring industrial materials arrive safely at their destination after transport by road, rail, water or air
• UV safe drums and jars offer a UV barrier that prevents the contents from degrading due to UV light
• Drums are robust and designed to roll so that partially liquid contents can be easily mixed on a roller conveyor
• Capacities range from 300 ml to 150 liters and are easy to open, close and handle

Plastic two-component packaging

CurTec also offers a packaging solution for adhesives or building materials that consist of two chemical components. Duo Pack pails enable the storage and shipment of two-component materials in one pack. A clean, clever and robust packaging solution, not only for two component chemicals but also for two separate components.

For industrial materials, there are various packaging solutions on the market, depending on their specific application. Are you wondering whether you have chosen the right one? We are happy to provide advice based on an analysis of your supply chain.
