In addition, manufacturers of beauty and personal care packaging often require materials that are clear or brightly colored to attract consumer attention.
Bottles: TPEs can enhance the interaction between package and consumer in coextruded blow molding.
GLS and Kautex Machines, a leader in extrusion blow-molding equipment, jointly developed a solution for co-extruding an ultra-thin outer layer of translucent, customized Dynalloy™ TPE onto recycled or virgin HDPE resin.
