Mátrametál Kft.Aluminium Tube Division
The aluminium tube is an indispensable type of packaging for such products as cosmetics, food and pharmaceutical items where the essential requirement is that the contents must not come into contact with air. The aluminium tube precludes the possibility of diffusion, and protects against the harmful influences of light and UVB radiation.
These unique properties make it possible to keep the product stored in perfect condition. The aluminium tube is a modern packaging material that is also elegant, light, simple and easy to handle, and is 100% recyclable.
Our highly skilled and experienced technicians are working continuously on the development of our tubes and on improving production technology. The reasons for our success are our close co-operation with our customers, our quick reaction to their individual requirements and our commitment to top quality and efficient manufacturing processes.
Matrametal’s investment in modern production technology enables us to produce annually 130 million aluminium tubes. Our five manufacturing lines are able to produce tubes of the following diameters: 13.5mm; 16mm; 22mm; 25mm; 28mm; 30mm; 32mm; 35mm and 40mm, with a capacity ranging from 4 ml to 200 ml.
Our cylindrical tubes are produced by cold extrusion from aluminium slugs of 99.7% purity.
With regard to the execution of the shoulder our customers may choose between the following possibilities: polished, corrugated, painted or with embossed tactile warning.
Different types of nozzles are also available, e.g. open, closed with membrane, elongated, and star-shaped, and to these can be fitted a wide variety of caps from our standard range. Other types of caps can be purchased on request.
The internal coating of the tubes in contact with the filling material, meets all the relevant statutory Health and Hygiene requirements. For the packaging of aggressive materials we apply appropriate, special, internal lacquers of high resistance. Our triple lacquer spraying technology ensures the evenness of the lacquer film on the whole surface of the inner tube.
To achieve a perfect closure after the filling process, a latex or a "hot-melt" end-seal is applied to the bottom part of the tube.
The exterior of Matrametal’s tubes is customised to each client’s exact specification and our well qualified, experienced technicians will take pride in making tubes that display your product and your company name and logo to the best advantage.
The external surface of the tube can be white, coloured, transparent, matt or mother-of-pearl enamel. Lithographical printing by indirect offset technology is available in five or six colours depending on the diameter of the tube. CMYK printing is also possible on request.
Finally the completed products are packed into corrugated cardboard boxes, with no manual contact. The boxes are then placed on EUR pallets and covered with plastic film ready for shipment.
Matrametal operates to the highest international standards, including ISO 9001, ISO-14001 and HACCP Quality Assurance Systems.
