Using an advanced soft grip Versaflex™ TPE material in the bowl, cup and spoon, the manufacturer was able to meet critical food contact regulations in both Japan and China while simultaneously delivering an experience that reinforces their brand reputation. In addition, this TPE material uses existing molds, eliminating the cost of new molds and reducing development time, enabling the manufacturer to enjoy more cost-efficient production without delay while driving brand growth.

Specifically, these additives have been proven to be effective inhibiting E. coli and MRSA across these resins: • TPE/TPU • PET • HDPE • ABS • POM • PP • PC Custom formulations can be validated for various resin types, and under specific processing conditions, at an independent testing lab to ensure results in commercialization.
