Flexible Containers - Sustainable, Strong, and Smart Solutions Redefining Storage
Sustainability and efficiency are becoming increasingly important in modern industry. Mehler Texnologies? , part of Freudenberg Performance Materials , focuses on innovative flexible containers made of coated textiles as a sustainable alternative to conventional storage and transport solutions. These containers are adaptable, durable, and environmentally friendly - ideal for applications across various industries, from agriculture to industry.
Expanding Our Expertise with Heytex
With the merger of Heytex Group , we are excited to further expand and refine our portfolio of flexible containers. Heytex Group specializes in the production of high-quality materials for containers, bringing extensive expertise to this sector. This collaboration allows us to offer even more tailored solutions, meeting specific industry requirements with precision.
Versatile Applications of Flexible Containers
The flexible containers from @Mehler Texnologies offer a wide range of applications:
·?????? Potable water tanks?for remote communities
·?????? Manure tanks and water reservoirs?to support agriculture
·?????? Gas containers?to reduce emissions
·?????? Temporary storage solutions?for raw materials
Why Flexible Containers? The Key Advantages
Conventional storage solutions often reach their limits, especially when storing and transporting sensitive goods such as water, food, or gases. Flexible containers, on the other hand, are ideal for storing, transporting and protecting various products, from liquids to solids, and offer numerous advantages:
Innovative Technologies for Long-Lasting Materials
To ensure that flexible containers remain reliable even under extreme conditions over long periods, Mehler Texnologies? utilizes state-of-the-art material technologies. High-performance fabrics and special protective coatings shield the containers from UV radiation, chemical degradation, and mechanical wear, making them robust and durable. These materials are carefully selected based on the nature of the stored goods, from food and water to more volatile?substances like CO2, ensuring the right properties for each application.
Sustainability and Safety in Storage and Transport
Our flexible containers play a key role in sustainable practices. Their specialized protective coatings and UV stabilizers ensure durability against environmental factors while preventing contamination. Reliable closure systems ensure the safe storage and transport of contents. Furthermore, they are designed for reusability to reduce waste, and their lightweight construction lowers CO? emissions, making them an eco-friendly choice.
Challenges in Flexible Containers Implementation
Designing and implementing flexible containers across various industries presents several challenges. Unique customer requirements can sometimes limit material potential, particularly in regions where regulatory compliance and sustainability are key concerns. Therefore, compliance with industry regulations, especially in food and pharmaceuticals, adds complexity. This complexity is addressed through our deep understanding of regulations and the diverse material technologies we offer, including flexible PVC and other specialized coatings. Furthermore, the growing demand for sustainability drives continuous innovation, requiring ongoing adaptation to meet changing customer needs and environmental considerations.
A Remarkable Milestone in Our Flexible Container Solutions
Together with our long-standing partner TARPULIN , we have successfully deployed flexible water tanks in Chile to combat forest fires. Additionally, we have been able to supply water bags to ensure potable water availability in temporary camps, providing essential support to remote communities. This partnership has helped position these water tanks regionally, offering a vital solution during forest fire seasons.
The Future of Flexible Containers
The development of flexible containers continues to advance to further optimize sustainability and efficiency. New materials such as biodegradable PVC and recyclable additives enhance environmental compatibility. At the same time, modern barrier technologies improve the protection of stored contents and increase shelf life. Lightweight designs reduce transport costs and emissions, while eco-friendly plasticizers maintain flexibility. These exciting innovations, along with our continuous focus on regulatory compliance and customer-specific needs, will significantly shape the future of the flexible container industry.
