RKW Group, Frankenthal, Germany, an internationally recognised specialist in the field of FSS films, has introduced RKW ProVent® Advanced – the latest generation of its ProVent range of self-venting plastic packaging which is designed to provide reliable product protection for powdery goods such as cement and other building materials. This polymer-based alternative to paper sack packaging offers great advantages with respect to transport and storage of moisture-sensitive goods.  

 

Both in the building materials as well as in food and chemical industries, fillers of powdery goods express growing need for packaging solutions that feature more than just transport protection. “An increasing number of companies are looking for weather-proof packaging, which enables them to store their goods outdoors over a longer period of time,” said Thomas Steffen, the company’s head of R&D for industrial packaging. Compared to paper sack packaging, the vapour barrier of the packaging has been increased by a factor 40, thereby significantly extending shelf life. At the same time, the robust plastic sack minimises transport damages and product loss. As a result, there are fewer costs for storage and waste disposal. This innovation will be the centrepiece of the RKW stand at POWTECH (1-533). www.rkw-group.com
