Venting
We vent caps and drum bungs/plugs for liquid chemicals and powders which emit gasses when filled into plastic drums, jerrycans and bottles.
We use two types of membrane:
1. PTFE for hydrophobic (high surface tension) liquids e.g. Sodium Hypochlorite and Hydrogen Peroxide with only water added.
2. ePTFE Super Resistant Membrane (SRM) for Oleophobic (low surface tension) liquids – refer to our Venting Guidelines download below for venting applications fro SRM.
We stock 28mm (28/400) and 38mm (38/400) Child Resistant Closures (CRC) with ePTFE (SRM) vented liner. We can access other sized caps and other liner types (minimum order quantities apply for items that are not ex-stock).
Caps and bungs can be supplied to us by customers for venting. However, they must be new (unused). Caps or drum bungs with chemical residues create an OSH issue for our staff. Residues can also affect the integrity of the vent. We stock a comprehensive range of caps and drum bungs so can supply new closures if you require them.
Ask us about your application. We can advise you on the correct Vented closure/bung for safe storage, handling and transportation of your chemicals. Customers MUST undertake their own trials to prove suitability. Samples for trials are available on request, free of charge.
Download our Venting Guidelines: 3 Swans Venting Guidelines April 2011
Download our Order Form:Customer Originated Venting Order
If you are sending caps for venting please enclose a copy of this or your company purchase order detailing your request. For a Word version of this, so you can type in your changes, please email info@3swans.co.nz.
