PET bottles 42 PET planet insider Vol. 14 No. 04/13 www.petpla.net Home + Personal Care Getting a grip on car care One problem with many thin- walled PET bottles is that you have to compress them slightly when lifting them in order to hold them securely. This often means that, if the product has been opened, one has to contend with the risk that the product may accidentally gush out. Cue for Sonax GmbH‘s bottle con- taining their car care product “Wash & Wax“ to come to the rescue. The red PET bottle has an indentation in the grip area and this indenta- tion also incorporates additional recesses for the finger tips. Addi- tional grooves and embossing on the bottle lend it an air of technical sophistication. A screw-type dis- pensing cap with tamper-proof strip and two self-adhesive labels complete the packaging. www.sonax.com Multi-active cleaner For more than 100 years products marketed under the Sagrotan brand name have been a pioneer in the household hygiene sector. The formulas are being constantly improved and adjustments made to meet cur- rent requirements. One example of this is the Multi-Active Cleaner which removes limescale, grease and soap residue, together with 99.9 % of bacteria. The prod- uct is packaged in a PET bottle which is comfortable to hold and also has a raised finish in the area where it is held in order to ensure a tighter grip. The bottle contains 500ml and the product is applied using a pump dis- penser which features a locking function. An adhesive sticker indicates not only the birthdate of the brand name but also its mission to promote health. www.sagrotan.de 28 washes in one bottle Henkel France has in its range a detergent concentrate with the fragrance ”Savon d’Alep“.
