It can and often does replace more traditional construction materials, such as glass and acrylic, in applications where transparency and clarity are important. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

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.

Since clinical trials began in 2016, this system has delivered correct-strength glasses to over 500,000 people in 67 countries. Trained, local ‘refractionists’, assist in this process, and it takes approximately 15 minutes to deliver prescription glasses for less than $5 per pair.
