Products
PET Preforms
3 answersWhat range of PET preforms do you offer?
More than 1,525 preform variants across neck finishes, weights and colours — one of the widest ranges in the industry — covering packaged water, carbonated soft drinks, juices, dairy, edible oil, pharmaceuticals, personal care and home care. With over 15 billion preforms manufactured to date on high-cavitation Husky systems (up to 144 cavities), Chemco is regarded as having one of the best preform facilities in India and globally.
Can Chemco develop a custom preform for my bottle?
Yes. Our in-house R&D team designs custom neck finishes, weights and lightweighted geometries to match your bottle design and filling line. The process runs from feasibility (based on your drawing, sample or concept) through prototyping, sampling and validation before commercial production — with some of the quickest development turnarounds in the industry.
Do you offer PET preforms with recycled (PCR) content?
Yes. Food-grade rPET from our own Chemco rPET division can be incorporated into preforms at any level you need — from partial blends right up to 100% PCR — giving you a verified, traceable recycled-content source that supports targets under India’s Plastic Waste Management Rules and global brand commitments. Tell us your target PCR percentage and application, and we’ll recommend the right construction.
Containers and Jars
2 answersWhat containers and jars do you manufacture?
A wide range of jars and containers for food and confectionery, dairy, cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceuticals and home care — in PET, HDPE, PP, PC, PETG and Tritan, produced by injection stretch blow, extrusion blow and injection blow moulding. Mono and multilayer constructions are available where barrier performance matters for sensitive contents.
Can you develop custom jar shapes and sizes?
Yes. Our R&D team takes custom containers from concept and prototype through multi-cavity production tooling, with colour and masterbatch matching as standard and decoration or labelling options confirmed at the quotation stage.
Bottles
2 answersWhat types of bottles do you manufacture?
Bottles in PET, HDPE, PP, PC, PETG and Tritan — produced by Injection Stretch Blow Moulding (2–24 cavities), Extrusion Blow Moulding for mono and multilayer constructions (1–18 cavities) and Injection Blow Moulding (2–12 cavities) — with over 7 billion bottles manufactured to date.
Which industries use Chemco bottles?
Beverages and packaged water, dairy, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal care, home care, edible oils and agrochemicals. Multilayer barrier constructions are available for oxygen- or moisture-sensitive contents, and every bottle can be paired with a matched Chemco closure.
20 Litre Bottles
2 answersDo you manufacture 20-litre bottles?
Yes. Chemco manufactures 20-litre bottles for the bulk packaged-water segment, engineered to withstand the repeated filling, handling, washing and return cycles the category demands while retaining clarity and strength.
Why source 20-litre bottles from Chemco?
Three reasons: multi-plant capacity for reliable, uninterrupted supply; in-house laboratories that validate every batch; and a complete ecosystem — bottles, matching caps, dispensers, jugs and filters — so water brands source everything from a single accountable supplier.
Dispensers – Jugs – Filters
1 answerWhat dispensers, jugs and filters do you offer?
A complementary range of water dispensers, jugs and filters that completes the bulk-water product ecosystem alongside our 20-litre bottles — letting water brands, distributors and institutional buyers source the full category from one supplier. Share your requirement with our sales team for models and specifications.
Caps and Closures
2 answersWhat caps and closures do you manufacture?
A full range of injection-moulded caps and closures produced on tooling up to 144 cavities, engineered to pair with our preform and bottle neck finishes — for water, beverages, food, pharmaceutical, personal care and home care applications.
Why buy closures together with preforms and bottles?
Because fit and seal integrity are validated together on the same neck finish before anything ships. You get leak-free performance on the filling line and single-point accountability — no cross-vendor disputes if something ever needs attention.
Stretch Wraps
2 answersWhat stretch wraps do you offer?
Stretch films for pallet stabilisation and load containment during storage and transit, produced on advanced extrusion lines from leading OEMs such as Reifenhauser. Stretch wrap keeps unitised loads tight, stable and protected from shifting through the supply chain.
How do I choose the right stretch wrap?
The right specification depends on your load weight and shape, whether the film is applied by hand or machine, and the transit conditions it must survive. Share your application with our sales team and we’ll recommend a specification — with trial samples so you can validate performance on your own loads before committing.
Shrink Films
2 answersWhat shrink films do you offer?
Shrink films for bundling and collation of bottles, cans and multipacks. Applied over product groups and passed through a heat tunnel, the film shrinks tightly around the pack to create secure, unitised secondary packaging — the standard format for beverage and FMCG multipacks.
What is the difference between shrink film and stretch wrap?
Shrink film is heat-shrunk around groups of products to bundle them into tight multipacks. Stretch wrap is stretch-applied around palletised loads to stabilise them for storage and transit — no heat involved. Most supply chains use both, and Chemco manufactures both, so you can source them together.
Baby Care Products
6 answersWhat baby care products do you make?
Six product lines: baby feeding bottles, nipples, soothers and pacifiers, sippers and training sets, breast pumps, and baby care accessories — a complete baby feeding and care range from a single manufacturer.
How many baby feeding bottle brands does Chemco work with?
9 out of 10 baby feeding bottle brands available in India work with Chemco — for feeding bottles, components or complete products — reflecting the scale and trust behind Chemco’s baby care manufacturing.
How is baby care product safety ensured?
Baby care products are manufactured in FSSC 22000-certified facilities operating under GMP, from compliant food-contact-grade materials, with stringent testing and validation of every product before release and BIS marking where Indian Standards apply. In-house laboratories and third-party verification back every claim with data.
Can I private-label Chemco baby care products?
Yes — Chemco offers OEM and private-label baby care manufacturing end to end: product development, tooling, production, quality documentation and retail-ready packing, all under your brand.
What is Chemco’s relationship with Dr. Brown’s?
Chemco is the manufacturer and exclusive distributor of Dr. Brown’s baby care products in India, bringing the international feeding brand to Indian retail.
Does the baby care division cover manufacturing through to retail?
Yes — it runs the full make-to-retail model: OEM and private-label manufacturing for other brands, and the manufacture and exclusive Indian distribution of Dr. Brown’s. From tooling and production to branded retail supply, it is a working example of Chemco’s resin-to-retail model.
Nets and Loofahs
2 answersWhat nets and loofahs do you manufacture?
Six product lines: insect and mosquito nets, tree guards, packaging nets, loofahs, fencing nets, and construction and agro nets.
What applications do the nets serve?
Household protection (insect and mosquito nets), agriculture and horticulture (tree guards, agro nets), produce and product packaging (packaging nets), construction-site safety (construction nets) and boundary fencing (fencing nets) — with sizes and colours matched to your application through our sales team.
Insulations
3 answersWhat insulation products does Chemco make?
Chemco’s patented insulation solutions for industry, offered under the Hippo Insulation and InsuShield names: Air Bubble Insulation , Hippo Cool Roof and insulated water tank covers . Built on breakthrough technology proven in the Middle East — where temperatures run far higher than the Indian subcontinent — they form a 360° barricade against heat transfer in and out of your facility.
The reflective multi-layer construction delivers 97% reflectivity and just 3% emissivity , operates from −40°C to +90°C, and spans 5- and 7-layer grades from 4 mm (Classic) through 20 mm (Max+), up to the 27–33 mm Hippo Cool Roof Ultra.
Where is Chemco insulation used?
Roofing for industries, plants and warehouses; wall and ceiling insulation; HVAC duct insulation; container insulation; mobile houses; vehicle insulation; water tank covers; and insulated packaging. A sudden rise or fall in facility temperature shortens product shelf life, raises machine power consumption and drains workforce efficiency — insulation addresses all three at once.
What are the benefits of Chemco insulation?
Lower electricity consumption, the ambient temperature you actually want, longer machine life, better workforce efficiency, condensation prevention, longer product shelf life and fire-retardant protection for your key resources — a strong yet economical alternative to conventional insulation systems.
Technical Textiles
3 answersWhat technical textiles does Chemco manufacture?
Chemco is an expert manufacturer of poly-coated woven fabrics , produced at a dedicated 125,000 sq ft technical textiles plant in Halol, Gujarat with a fully integrated manufacturing process and strong in-house R&D. The range includes geomembranes, pond liners, landfill liners, tarpaulins, metal wraps, lumber wraps, roofing products, housing underlayment, crop protection sheets and fully custom solutions — each with an application-based, scientific formulation using virgin-grade polymers.
What applications do the technical textiles serve?
They address global challenges such as water management and conservation (pond liners, geomembranes, landfill liners) and protection of goods and resources from varying weather (tarpaulins, metal wraps, lumber wraps, roofing underlayment, crop protection). Typical users span construction, agriculture, infrastructure, timber and metals, and industrial logistics.
How are the technical textiles manufactured?
A four-stage integrated process: high-speed calibrated tape extrusion lines produce PP/PE tapes; advanced circular and flat looms weave them into lightweight or heavyweight scrim; extrusion coating and lamination machines produce single- or double-face laminates, with the ability to laminate additional functional substrates; and a finishing section with a 4-stage printing line, seam sealing machine and dedicated fabrication area converts fabric into sizes and custom articles.
Bubble Wraps
2 answersWhat bubble wrap products do you offer?
Three product lines: bubble wrap rolls for general protective packaging, bubble envelopes for shipping, and pallet covers and sleeves for protecting unitised loads.
What are bubble envelopes and pallet covers used for?
Bubble envelopes give e-commerce and courier shipments cushioned protection in a ready-to-ship mailer format. Pallet covers and sleeves shield palletised goods from dust, moisture and handling damage in storage and transit — often used together with our stretch wrap for complete load protection.
Menstrual Cups
3 answersDoes Chemco manufacture menstrual cups?
Yes — Chemco is a leading contract manufacturer of menstrual cups. Our cups are made from 100% medical-grade silicone (USP Class VI) using German Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) technology on Arburg and Dr. Boy injection moulding machines, in an FDA-registered, ISO 13485:2016 certified facility in Silvassa with Class 10000 cleanrooms.
The cups are BPA- and latex-free, reusable, eco-friendly and economical, and feature a sealing rim for leak-free wear, four air holes for pressure regulation, interior volume markings for health tracking, and a ringed stem for easy insertion and removal — available in multiple sizes and shapes.
What quality and regulatory standards do the menstrual cups meet?
Production runs in an FDA-registered facility compliant with ISO 13485:2016 (medical devices) and ISO 15378:2017 (primary packaging for medicinal products), adhering to ISO 10993 biocompatibility standards and FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 . Products are ROHS-, BPA-, SVHC-, TSE/BSE- and phthalate-free.
Quality control is multi-level: incoming material inspection, in-line production checks, final testing for leak-proof integrity, surface finish and functionality, and Statistical Process Control (SPC) throughout — with dedicated raw-material and finished-goods storage areas for hygiene.
Can I launch my own menstrual cup brand with Chemco?
Yes — that’s exactly what our contract manufacturing service is built for. You get access to our engineers and material scientists for cup design and customisation: sizes, shapes, rim geometry, softness and flexibility (via medical-grade silicone formulation selection), surface texture, stem design and logo placement.
We also design and produce custom retail packaging and purse-tested, drop-tested carrying cases — a one-roof approach covering development, manufacturing and fulfilment that saves time and cost versus coordinating multiple vendors.
Transit Packaging
2 answersWhat transit packaging do you supply?
Corrugated paper boxes through our 4R Packaging transit division, engineered for the secondary and tertiary packaging of finished goods.
Can Chemco cover my complete secondary and tertiary packaging?
Yes. Corrugated boxes from 4R Packaging combined with our shrink films (bundling), stretch wraps (palletisation) and bubble wraps (protection) deliver a complete transit packaging solution from one group — alongside the primary packaging we already make for you.
Recycling
Chemco rPET
7 answersWhat is Chemco rPET?
Chemco rPET is the group’s dedicated recycled polymers business and one of India’s leading recycled polymer manufacturers. Created through strategic backward integration, it collects and processes post-consumer plastic waste and transforms it into high-purity, high-IV recycled materials using state-of-the-art washing lines and Solid-State Polymerisation (SSP) technology — reducing dependence on virgin plastics and closing the loop with our packaging operations.
Learn more at chemcorpet.com .
Which recycled polymers do you supply?
Six product lines covering the major recycled polymer families:
- rPET flakes — hot-washed, optically sorted, high-purity
- rPET granules — food-grade, SSP-treated resin
- rHDPE granules
- rPP granules
- rLDPE granules
- rLLDPE granules
One source for your entire recycled-resin basket, backed by the same quality systems as our packaging plants.
Are your rPET granules food-grade?
Yes. Our rPET granules are high-quality, food-grade recycled PET resins produced through advanced extrusion and Solid-State Polymerisation (SSP), certified under EN 15348, IS 14534 and IS 16630 . They are engineered for high intrinsic viscosity (IV), low acetaldehyde (AA) levels and superior thermal stability, with a consistent molecular structure and contamination-free composition — a genuine alternative to virgin PET.
Food-contact compliance credentials include FSSAI, US FDA and EFSA (EU) , so brands can use our rPET in bottle-to-bottle and other food-contact applications with confidence.
How are the rPET flakes and granules produced?
Post-consumer PET bottles are collected and de-baled, then pass through AI sorting and dry separation, pre-washing, manual sorting and metal detection. Bottles are wet-crushed, with sink-float and eddy-current separation removing contaminants, followed by hot washing, friction scrubbing, drying and optical sorting to deliver high-purity flakes.
For granules, the flakes are dried, melted, filtered and pelletised in extrusion, then crystallised and SSP-treated — boosting intrinsic viscosity, thermal stability and processability so the resin performs like virgin PET on your lines.
What certifications does Chemco rPET hold?
Management systems certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, with GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification for recycled-content chain of custody and OBP (Ocean Bound Plastic) certification for ocean-bound plastic recovery. Additional credentials include REACH, FSSAI, US FDA, EFSA, ISI, GMP and Sedex membership.
Can Chemco supply recycled polymer for my EPR and recycled-content targets?
Yes. Brands facing recycled-content obligations — including targets under India’s Plastic Waste Management Rules and the EPR framework — can source GRS-certified recycled resins from Chemco rPET with the documentation compliance reporting requires. And because the same group converts polymers into finished packaging, we can alternatively deliver ready-made packaging with certified PCR content, simplifying your supply chain to a single partner.
