Bleach, detergent and surface-cleaner brands are migrating to PET preforms because they combine chemical resistance with retail-ready clarity.

A 28 mm, 35 g preform produces a 1 L bottle that survives 30 g drop tests and resists stress-cracking in 5 % sodium hypochlorite for 90 days at 40 °C. Fluorinated neck rings minimise flavour scalping, ensuring lemon or lavender scents remain stable over shelf life.

Square-shoulder preforms maximise shelf utilisation, adding 9 % more facings per metre than round HDPE jugs. For refill pouches, we supply tethered-cap 29/25 necks that align with EU reuse targets, while still fitting standard trigger sprayers. Export clients gain 15 % lower landed cost versus HDPE thanks to lightweighting and denser palletisation, plus immediate recyclability in curbside streams-turning household chemical bottles into a sustainability win.
