SprayPET Reveal is a fully see-through aerosol product providing complete product visibility. The product is the result of a coopera- tion between APPE and US-based Power Container Corp, a privately-owned developer and manufacturer of airless dispensing sys- tems. SprayPET Reveal is the combination of APPE’s transparent SprayPET container with Power Container Corp’s Power Pouch dis- pensing system, a bag-on-valve, which is also transparent. A European-exclusive agreement between both companies means that Spray- PET is the only plastic aerosol container that can be used with Power Pouch. Bag-on-valve pouches, usually opaque silver in colour, are flexible multilayer lami- nated bags, made from layers of nylon, polyethylene and aluminium. Power Pouch is manufactured from single-layer PET, yet retains all of the benefits of bag-on-valve tech- nology. Unlike multilayer laminated pouches, Power Pouch is a seamless bag that provides inherent strength. Structurally and chemically robust, the SprayPET Reveal system operates with standard actuators, is environmentally friendly and easy to recycle through normal kerbside collection. The container and pouch can be clear or coloured, and both are fully food-approved for food-based applications. SprayPET contain- ers have the ability to be printed or fully or part sleeved. www.appe.com www.powercontainer.com
