TricorBraun Releases White Paper
• A brand’s quality reputation can be destroyed on the retail shelf by a bottle that has become deformed. Joseph Haun, TricorBraun quality engineer, has prepared a white paper about a condition known as panel sink, which distorts bottles.
Panel sink occurs when the bottle’s sidewalls are sucked in by an increased pressure differential between the bottle’s contents and the surrounding environment.The pressure disparity is caused by a reduction in the volume of product in the bottle or a loss of gas and/or moisture through the bottle walls. It occurs most frequently on cylindrical bottles.
According to the company, panel sink is a universal concern for bottlers because there are many circumstances that bring about a pressure differential. However, there are also numerous ways to prevent panel sink by varying the bottle’s structure, changing the resin from which it is made or evaluating how the bottle it is treated before it is filled.
