The grades, which overmold to polypropylene and polyethylene, can be used in personal care, household appliance, consumer electronics, and consumer packaging applications when a more sustainable material is preferred.

This choice was based on the material’s chemical compatibility with the makeup formulation along with its REACH SVHC compliance, sealing properties, and superior overmolding adhesion to polypropylene.
