True beauty for emulsions comes within
#Cosmetics#Supplements
Sulapac’s patent pending innovation is a perfect fit for cosmetic brands. It works as an excellent barrier with water-based emulsions and sets a new standard when comparing biodegradable materials to conventional plastics. It is bio-based (98%) and biodegrades without leaving permanent microplastics behind.
Acceptable weight loss for cosmetic packaging is typically below 3%. Sulapac barrier is within these restrictions clearly*. On top of its excellent barrier properties, material is also GMO-free and food contact approved in Europe.
*Sulapac got a 1.3% result with its Sulapac 4-part jar with emulsion in 40’C for 12 weeks which equals 1-year shelf-life.
Sustainable extrusion material for straws
#Straws#Tubes#Cosmetic pens
As part of our mission to tackle the global plastic waste problem, we developed ‘the straw without compromise’. The sustainable Sulapac straw can be used for up to 24 hours. It doesn’t get soggy.
Inherently, the Sulapac straw is biodegradable and industrially compostable. After use, the bio-based material circulates back to natural components leaving no permanent microplastics behind. If it accidentally ends up in nature, it doesn’t harm the ecosystem.
The Sulapac straw is mass producible. It complies with the EU and FDA food contact requirements. Flow v1.7 is an ideal fit for straws and Flow v1.8 for thicker extruded products such as color cosmetics pens.
