About Tea Tree - Packaging
Growers store bulk tea tree oil under
optimal conditions to ensure that there is no degradation of the product
prior to packaging for sale.
Research has shown that Stainless steel is the best construction material for containers during storage and transport of tea tree oil. The quality and shelf life of tea tree oil is further enhanced by:
- Storage in cool areas, and
- inert gas capping, to prevent oxidation occurring when tea tree oil is stored for long periods.
For short-term storage of bulk tea tree oil prior to bottling,
quality can be maintained with 'just in time' packaging such as glass
and fluorinated HDPE 20 or 25 litre kegs.
