Sulapac materials for caps and closures are designed to effortlessly replace ABS or thermosets, like bakelite or urea-formaldehyde, in perfume, skincare and beauty packaging – without compromising functionality or the luxurious look and feel that your customers desire.
The Secret of a Perfect Cap?
Environmental friendliness
Sulapac materials have a lower carbon footprint compared to plastics traditionally used in beauty packaging. Our materials are biobased and designed to reduce the chemical and microplastic burden originating from the plastic value chain.
Uncompromising functionality
Sulapac materials maintain the integrity of the packaging so that your formulations retain their stability, freshness and performance.
Easy processability
Sulapac materials are converted to caps and closures using standard injection molding machinery. Many of our customers use the same molds as they have used with ABS.
Timeless aesthetics
Sulapac materials enabable a luxurious look and feel for your packaging. The same decoration techniques can be applied with Sulapac as with conventional plastic while a beautiful glossy finish can be achieved without varnish.
