New dispensing product for water enhancers

Last week at Drinktec, Aptar Food and Beverage unveiled Micro, a new standard dispensing product for water enhancers and liquid concentrates.

A one-piece PP snap on closure, Micro uses an adapted SimpliSqueeze valve specifically developed to optimise performance of the flow control and the no-drip safety for out-of-home consumer use. A smaller version of Aptar’s patented valve allows the stream of product dispensing to be precisely controlled by the consumer in order to obtain their preferred dosage. The closure orifice remains clean throughout usage, due to precise product cut-off.

Aptar’s SimpliSqueeze valve always uses swimming silicone technology in beverages to ensure PET bottle recycling stream compatibility. The swimming silicone SimpliSqueeze valve has a density below 1, and therefore ‘swims’ to the surface to facilitate sorting. It was approved and certified in Europe by the Cotrep and the EPBP in 2011.

With Micro, there is reportedly no mess and no drips, making for a neat package that can be safely and conveniently stored; even in a pocket or a bag for out of home consumption.
