Pails

For more than 30 years, TotalEnergies has led development in pail applications. Starting from Polyethylene replacing metal pails, we rapidly developed the first impact copolymers Polypropylene in the market in order to diminish weight and improve processing, while maintaining mechanical properties of pail requirements. 

A wide range of polypropylene grades is available in order to address the mechanical requirements of pail applications. TotalEnergies has pioneered ways of improving the processability with an evolution to higher fluidity. 

Key values:  

• Enhanced mechanical properties 

• Downgauging 

• Easy processing  

PPC 10542 – increasing rigidity with very good impact  

This unique impact polypropylene PPC 10542 brings improved rigidity combined with very good injectability matching market reference impact, which is essential for the pails market. 

Driving forces:

• High stackability to increase the number of paint buckets on the pallet (lowering transportation costs) 

• Lower processing costs 

• Hot fill applications 

• Shake ability for mixing paint

• Downgauging
