HOW CHEMICALLY COMPATIBLE VERSAFLEX PKG TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
IN COSMETIC PACKAGING
Chemical compatibility – Versaflex PKG TPEs do
not discolor, etch, crack or delaminate when in
contact with most soaps, lotions, oils, surfactants
and solvents found in cosmetics.
Wide range of tactile finishes – Versaflex PKG
materials enable you to develop a wide range of
finishes such as silky, smooth, tacky and grippy.
Simpler production process – Overmolding
Versaflex PKG TPEs is an effective method for
simplifying a two-step process into a single step
