LSR will generally withstand high levels of exposure to cleaning and disinfecting chemicals, but is susceptible to attacks by concentrated solvents (gasoline, mineral spirits) and acids (sulfuric acid, carbonic acid, citric acid found in car batteries, sodas and juices).¹
The chart below contains products that benefit from both LSR and TPE materials.

Regulatory compliance for aqueous, acidic, alcohol and fatty food applications are available with GLS thermoplastic elastomers.
Caps, Closures & Containers: Thermoplastic elastomers play a big role in the design of ergonomically enhanced packages that can help aging users accomplish simple tasks such as opening a bottle of aspirin or a jar of coffee.
This first-of-its-kind innovation allows designers to add the tactile feel and aesthetics of TPEs to HDPE containers and packaging while keeping costs down and supporting environmental goals.

This Versaflex™ PKG TPE is formulated for aluminum caps used for sealing glass, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or aluminum containers.
As an extension of GLS compression-molded cap liner technology, this non-PVC Versaflex PKG is formulated for aluminum caps used for sealing glass, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or aluminum containers.
In addition to minimizing volatiles that can affect the taste of sensitive aqueous, acidic and low-alcohol beverages, its lower processing temperature also helps save energy and expand manufacturing flexibility.
