(API) of Gainesville, Texas, a manufacturer of plastic pipe components, saw an opportunity to design a flapper valve that could improve upon traditional brass valves and enable non-corrosive, all-plastic piping systems.

The FlexCart Micro unit is designed to operate on non- continuous processes that require small units and which run with lower process throughputs.

This will generate a non-homogeneous dispersion, resulting in sub-standard coloration quality in the PET production process.

The polyethylene liner has a non-drip valve outlet that connects seamlessly to the FlexCart metering system, and the outer shell is designed to fit onto the FlexCart carriage.

Compared to rubber and silicone alternatives they simplify manufacturing with single-step fabrication, reducing the energy used in production and can be overmolded directly onto non-polar polymer substrates such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).

They are offered in ZFS (formaldehyde-containing) or NF (non-formaldehyde containing) ranges.

These packaging options can have several disadvantages due to their shape and material, making them non-user friendly in handling, storage, opening, pouring, and resealing.
