Quality requirements for plastic products

Plastic containers are represented by a wide range of various products for technical and food purposes. In this regard, there are certain requirements for the quality of each type.

Large-volume water containers must have an appropriate wall thickness and no internal stress to withstand transportation and long-term storage of liquid.

The material of containers for storing fertilizers and CAS must be chemically inert.

Water storage containers must reliably protect the contents from ultraviolet radiation, preventing the appearance of mold.

Plastic that comes into contact with drinking water or food must be of high quality and have an appropriate certificate.
