Packaging

Generally, glass is used for packaging of liquid formulations but plastics are used in the current era as they are impermeable to liquids. Widely used polymers in packaging include polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyledene chloride. These polymers are used in the packaging of solid, semi-solid, liquid products.
