TPEs offer excellent resealing, low levels of coring, and better manufacturing efficiency compared to traditional materials
Versaflex™ HC TPE is formulated to produce low coring levels in resealing applications.
During the injection-molding step, the TPE insert forms a strong bond with the substrate, such as polypropylene or polyethylene, used for the container closure.
