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.

Consider these solutions:
• Anti-stat to prevent dust build up
• UV blockers or stabilizers to protect package
contents
• Anti-microbials for limiting microbe
development
• Scratch and mar technology to preserve surface
finishes
• Impact modifiers that increase flexibility
and durability
Reduce Risk with Regulatory Support
We know that regulatory compliance requirements
are constantly changing.
We’ll
work with you on solutions that help protect the
Earth’s resources, such as:
• Increase use of post-consumer recycled (PCR)
content with highly loaded colorants
• Use foaming agents to reduce material usage
• Extend product life with additives that protect
against harsh environments
• Conserve resources with solutions that enable
more efficient production; reduce part weight,
energy or material consumption; enable
faster cycle times; or provide better insulating
properties

The study addresses the challenges of color matching in PCR for rigid packaging, offering options that can create global color consistency, quality, and circularity.
Bridging from the EverMinds™ platform, Borealis and Avient recently completed a joint application study investigating how to optimize color matching when using post-consumer recycled material (PCR) in rigid packaging applications.
In order to enhance the sustainability of rigid packaging, the industry is seeking ways to incorporate higher amounts of PCR into its products without compromising on functionality or shelf appeal.
