Long-term safety and reliable stability: High Resistance TPE for cosmetics

With High Resistance TPE for Cosmetics, KRAIBURG TPE is expanding its portfolio to include a compound series that withstands contact with particularly demanding ingredients, including isododecane. (Image: © 2022 KRAIBURG TPE)In the packaging sector, isododecane and similar substances are a challenge for thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). If a material has not been specifically developed for use in the field of cosmetics, there is a risk that modifications such as swelling or degradation of the material may occur. This particularly affects products that are based on water-resistant formulations. With High Resistance TPE for Cosmetics, KRAIBURG TPE is introducing a product development that reliably meets standard requirements over the long term.
