Bag-On-Valve Technology: Reliable Dispensing Solutions

Bag-On-Valve (BOV) technology is an advanced dispensing system that separates the product from the propellant, ensuring product purity, consistent performance and improved user experience.

How Bag-On-Valve Works: The Science Behind our Technology

At the heart of Bag-on-Valve technology is its advanced design, which involves a protective bag – attached to the valve – that holds the product. This system acts as a barrier packaging solution, ensuring the product remains separated from the propellant, protecting its purity and preventing contamination.

When the actuator is pressed, the eco-friendly propellant (compressed air or nitrogen) applies pressure to the bag, smoothly pushing the product through the valve for precise and continuous dispensing.

With our Power Pouch Bag-on-Valve system, Power Container Corporation redefines traditional BOV solutions by replacing the conventional multi-layer bag with a durable PET pouch. This innovation significantly enhances reliability and robustness while preserving all the benefits of Bag-on-Valve dispensing.

Why Choose Bag-On-Valve Technology?

  • Enhanced Product Preservation

    Unlike traditional aerosol cans, Bag-On-Valve technology ensures the product is completely separated from the propellant, protecting it from contamination and oxidation. This makes it ideal for sensitive formulations, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products, preserving their quality and allowing extended shelf life.

  • Optimized Consumer Experience

    Bag-On-Valve systems provide a continuous and controlled spray pattern, delivering a smooth and even application every time. Designed to work at any angle, including upside down, they offer effortless and convenient use, enhancing the overall consumer experience across various applications.

  • Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Design

    While traditional aerosol cans rely mostly on chemical propellants and preservatives, Bag-on-Valve technology eliminates the need for chemical propellants, creating an environmentally friendly alternative with greater safety for users and reduced environmental impact.

  • Power Container Corporation Innovation

    Power Container Corporation has designed unique Bag-On-Valve system focus on high performance featuring a single-material PET pouch, unlike traditional BOV systems that rely on multi-layer bags. This innovative design allow for delivering sturdy and reliable systems, reduces the carbon footprint and enables the use of PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) PET – providing a more eco-friendly solution that supports sustainability and waste reduction efforts.

Applications of Bag-On-Valve Technology

Bag-on-Valve technology provides a highly effective solution for industries that demand precise, reliable, and continuous dispensing. Power Container Corp’s BOV systems ensure optimal product performance, maintaining the highest standards of quality and consistency throughout every use.

Advantages of Bag-on-Valve Technology Over Traditional Aerosols

Bag-on-Valve Technology offers significant advantages compared to traditional aerosol systems, making it the preferred choice for industries requiring precision, safety, and sustainability.

  • Separation of Product and Propellant

    Unlike conventional aerosols, Bag-on-Valve technology keeps the product completely isolated from the propellant in a multi-layered bag. This barrier packaging technology ensures product purity, eliminates contamination risks, and maintains consistent formulation quality.

  • Continuous Dispensing System

    The Bag-on-Valve system delivers a smooth, continuous spray from start to finish, even when used upside down. This allows full evacuation of the product, reducing waste and improving cost efficiency.

  • No Chemical Propellants, More Sustainability

    While traditional aerosols use hydrocarbon propellants, Bag-on-Valve technology relies on compressed air or nitrogen, making it a greener, more eco-friendly alternative with fewer VOC emissions and a lower environmental impact.

  • Extended Shelf Life Without Preservatives

    By preventing oxidation and exposure to external contaminants, Bag-on-Valve technology helps extend product shelf life naturally, reducing the need for preservatives—an important advantage for sensitive formulations in pharmaceutical, personal care, and food industries.

FAQ

A Bag-On-Valve is a packaging technology where the formula and its active ingredients are held in a bag inside a pressurized can, and are thus completely isolated from the propellant. This technology offers better protection formulas, removing the need for reformulation to fit the propellant.

The main difference between traditional aerosol and Bag-On-Valve (BOV) is the way the product is dispensed. Aerosol cans use a mix of product and propellant, while BOV technology separates the product in a bag and the propellant in the can, ensuring optimal protection of the formula, preventing contamination and allowing for a more controlled dispensing.

Bag-on-Valve (BOV) technology is a packaging innovation that separates the product from the propellant, ensuring the product stays pure and uncontaminated.

The benefits of BOV include:

  • 360-degree dispensing,
  • Better spray control,
  • Longer shelf life,
  • Eco-friendliness
  • Reduced risk of contamination.

Bag-On-Valve technology is widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, household products and much more ensuring precise and continuous dispensing without the need for squeezing or pumping. Its versality makes BOV technology a reliable choice for a wide range of liquid and viscous products.

Our Power Pouch – Bag-on-Valve system stands out by using a single-material PET pouch, unlike traditional BOVs that rely on multi-layer bag. Our innovative dispensing systems offer unmatched robustness and remain fully compatible with standard BOV filling lines. Power Pouch technology also allows for the use of PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) PET, offering an even more eco-friendly solution.
