U.K.-based global chemical distribution company Brenntag has introduced a new dispensing solution for its AdBlue diesel engine fluid. Designed by RPC Design and produced by RPC Promens, the custom 4-L high-density polyethylene bottle provides a drip-free dispensing method for AdBlue, which reduces nitrogen dioxide (NO2) exhaust emissions and needs to be poured through a separate filler hole.
The brief for the pack was to create an original and eye-catching design that was easy and safe to use. The resulting bottle features a distinctive shape that ensures all the liquid drains from the pack, while the ergonomic handle aids the pouring process.
As the liquid can be corrosive, effective non-drip dispensing was essential. The dispensing nozzle’s three injection-molded polypropylene components create a system that automatically dispenses when inserted into the filling hole. For smooth and glug-free dispensing, the design allows air to pass back into the bottle and automatically shuts off when the nozzle is withdrawn to avoid spills. The nozzle incorporates a dust overcap to prevent contamination and an integrally molded tamper-evident band.
