Ergonomic enhancement is also playing an increasingly important role in packaging applications, and TPEs can be used in coextruded blow molding to enhance the grip of bottles or can be overmolded onto caps, closures and containers to provide an ergonomic grip. 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.
