HOW CHEMICALLY COMPATIBLE VERSAFLEX PKG TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
IN COSMETIC PACKAGING
Chemical compatibility – Versaflex PKG TPEs do
not discolor, etch, crack or delaminate when in
contact with most soaps, lotions, oils, surfactants
and solvents found in cosmetics.

When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and virtually seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS).
Impactful Color: TPEs can be customized with bright colors and special effects such as glimmers, sparkles and pearlescents, as well as shine levels such as eye-catching high gloss, which conveys a high-tech, high-fashion aesthetic.
TPEs play an important role in this evolution by enabling designers to add ergonomic grips in appealing textures and colors.

OnCap Light Shield additives enable manufacturers to protect brand integrity and the contents of the packaging by producing a clear package with improved color stability and dual light protection.”
Available as a granular masterbatch for injection molding, thermoforming or extrusion, these new additives offer superior performance for most clear polymers, including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polystyrene (PS).
