James Alexander Plastic Ampoule Swab
Now Available in Polypropylene
BLAIRSTOWN,
NJ – James Alexander Corporation has introduced a polypropylene
swab version of the company’s Plastic
Ampoule, according
to the firm’s President and CEO, Francesca Fazzolari.
“The
polypropylene swab is part of our ongoing efforts to develop
second generation plastics that will offer our customers more
choices and will help enhance package integrity and product
shelf life for many products,” Fazzolari said.
“We’ve had a polyethylene version of our swab package
available for some time, and we hope to be introducing several
new plastics in the coming months. We faced some significant engineering challenges
in launching the polypropylene Plastic Ampoule. The unit is a single molded piece,
and due to the complexity of the mold and the molding process, the polypropylene
version has been a particular challenge."
James Alexander Corporation’s
patented Plastic Ampoule (U.S. patent numbers 6,379,069 and 6,641,319)
allows the user to activate the package with a gentle squeeze
of one hand, rupturing the patented internal membrane. Another
gentle squeeze then dispenses the contents onto the applicator
tip. The rate and flow of the liquid is easily controlled by
the user.
“The unique attributes
of the Plastic Ampoule
swab make it perfect for topical applications
in a variety of markets, including cosmetic and personal care,
health and beauty aids, pharmaceutical, toiletries, dental, diagnostics,
veterinary and spa products,” Fazzolari went on to say.
In addition, JAC offers a variety
of applicator tips for its swab product, including a cylindrical
tip with a centered hole for enhanced product flow, tapered tips
for precise topical applications, and a series of brush applicator
tips made in a variety of materials and styles.
The Plastic Ampoule can also be decorated in any Pantone Matching
System® (PMS) color, and the company has three color print
capability.
Technical Data Sheets are available
for both the polyethylene and polypropylene versions of James
Alexander’s package. For more information on James Alexander’s
