Weatherchem, creators of innovative dispensing closures, now offers LiquiFlapper® and Flapper® caps  for the indoor chemical products market. Regulated more than many other industries, chemical products must be packaged in materials that can withstand harsh liquids and other substances, provide excellent barrier properties to prevent leakage, and dispense without glugging, spilling, or creating a mess.  Weatherchem's LiquiFlapper closures are a perfect complement to any packaging concept centered on household liquid chemicals, while the variety of sizes and dispensing options available for the original Flapper closure can handle just about any requirement imaginable for dry chemicals.  

The household chemical sector is expected to grow as concern for household hygiene is normally a priority for most, including families, young professionals, and the retired.  The household chemical market encompasses products related to home decoration and improvement, and a variety of cleaning agents used in the kitchen, bathroom or laundry room.  These products require attractive and secure packaging, whether housing synthetic or organic products.  Weatherchem has a closure to meet each application.

The household chemical market has reached a market size of $4.5 billion and is forecast to grow at approximately three percent per year.  New product trends that are driving packaging for indoor household chemicals include environmentally friendly ingredients and disposable, easy-to-use packaging for cleaners. Convenience is required by today’s busy consumer and must be considered when designing the packaging.  As a result, liquid substances have taken the lead over dry powder cleaners thanks to their ease of use and easier dispensing. 

Environmentally friendly products are increasing in popularity, such as organic and natural cleaners.  Increasing use of cleaning product refills, naturally derived ingredients, and highlighted promotion of eco-friendly features on the package all testify to the augmented sensitivity of today’s consumer to the natural solutions to the household needs traditionally met by chemically derived products.  Weatherchem’s LiquiFlapper is also finding acceptance by brand packagers responsible for household refill containers, since it’s perfect for providing controlled directional dispensing into smaller packages.

Weatherchem Corporation is an innovative manufacturer and marketer of convenient plastic dispensing closures and controlled access packaging. As the creators of the original Flapper dispensing closure, Weatherchem now offers one of the industry's most innovative closure product lines. In addition to Flapper these include: LiquiFlapper, NutraFlapper, NutraGen II™, FlapMate™ and Grinder NR. Whether designing or selecting packaging for a new product or revamping the design of an existing product, Weatherchem has the closures that consumers love.
