CHEMICAL RESISTANT
SOLUTIONS FOR COSMETIC,
PERSONAL CARE AND
HOUSEHOLD PACKAGING
We’ve developed a line of chemical resistant thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that do not discolor, etch, crack or
delaminate.
And, because TPEs can be overmolded, brand owners and packaging
manufacturers have new options for designing components that can be integrated directly into the package.
Our FDA and REACH compliant Versaflex™ PKG TPEs provide options for designing aesthetically pleasing
packaging components that withstand aggressive chemicals
