They allow complex designs without expensive
tooling, and performance characteristics (density,
corrosion and chemical resistance, mechanical
performance) can be customized depending on
application need.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Customized density offering a wide range of
specific gravities (1.5–11 gm/cm3)
• Formulated with partially bio-based resin from
renewable plant sources
• Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very
rigid grades
• Corrosion resistance that withstands oxidization
for long-term use and benefit
• Chemical resistance that can be adapted
depending on base resin as required
• Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics and
cool touch
• Design flexibility and processing ease
• Food contact compliance available
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Applications in packaging and consumer goods in
which a more sustainable solution is preferred:
• Cosmetic caps and closures
• Perfume caps
• Spirit bottle caps
• Luxury boxes
• Handles and knobs
SUSTAINABILITY BENEFITS
• Formulated with partially bio-based resin
from renewable plant sources
• Reduces waste and supports the circular
economy
• Reduces carbon footprint compared to
fossil feedstock alternatives
• Simplifies manufacturing and lowers cost
versus metal

One change was to deliver the raw material in round, underwater-cut pellets rather than the square pellets provided by the other material source.
New tooling was also being developed at the time, and the team was able to provide design input that minimized mold shrinkage during production.
Overall, cost performance for the new material was 40 percent better than for other competitive materials – a level of value the supplier didn’t anticipate when merely seeking another source for a commodity raw material.
