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.
CHEMICAL RESISTANT TPEs ADD FUNCTIONALITY THAT BRINGS VALUE
TO CONSUMERS
• Chemical Resistance – Resists aggressive
soaps, detergents, lotions, oils and solvents
found in cosmetic, personal care and
household products
• Regulatory* – Compositionally compliant
with certain FDA and REACH regulations
• Value – Economical alternative to silicone
and over-engineered medical grade TPEs
• Easy to Process – Can be injection molded
and overmolded right onto the substrate
including PP, ABS, etc
Our FDA and REACH compliant Versaflex™ PKG TPEs provide options for designing aesthetically pleasing
packaging components that withstand aggressive chemicals
