Recent trends toward vacuum skin packaging have opened new possibilities for uses. SURLYN™ Ionomers have everything this popular application needs. They deliver uniform deformation during thermoforming. Their combination of high shrink rate and low shrink force means a tight draw around the package while maintaining the original shape of even the most delicate products. The always-present puncture resistance completes the package.

The same aspects of durability and optics found in SURLYN™ Ionomers’ flexible applications translate to distinctive rigid packaging uses – particularly products projecting a higher-end look and feel.

In cosmetic packaging, injected molded structures bring scratch resistance, chemical resistance and excellent aesthetics – transparency in particular – to distinctive caps and closures.

Rigid containers benefit from an almost mirror-like high-gloss appeal. And those containers can stretch the imagination for uses – from hair care and other personal care items to a variety of beverages, spirits and liquors. There’s impact resistance behind the good looks, too.
