Bag-On-Valve System details
Bag-On-Valve technology is used whenever it is necessary to separate the product from the propellant, creating a dual compartment system packaging.
In order to obtain this separation the BOV (Bag-On-Valve) system was developed, consisting of a valve on which a flexible multi-layer bag, containing the product, is assembled.
The BOV system uses compressed air or nitrogen as propellant. Thus it reduces the use of volatile organic compounds (VOC), also known as green house gases.
The main utlisation of Bag-On-Valve technology is in:
- Shower Gels
- Shaving Gels
- Creams
- Pharmaceuticals
Key advantages of Bag-On-Valve
- Complete separation between the product and the propellant (no air / no product degradation)
- Long-term product conservation in the bag (no contamination / no or less preservatives required)
- Ability to be sprayed in any position
- Laminated pouch is FDA compliant for many pharma and food products
- Wide range of standard sizes available from 50-300ml
- 60-70% utilisation of can volume, better than any other barrier pack
- Effective with a broad range of viscosities
- Evacuation up to 99%
- Use of compressed air or nitrogen as propellant minimises flammability and VOC concerns
- Uses existing cans and valve components
- Cost competitive with other barrier systems
