Bottles and Components

Delivering Appeal and Performance

For a personal care product to move from the shelf to the consumer’s shopping cart it often requires a number of elements to come together at the same time — fit and finish, functionality and look and feel. This is where high-performance engineering thermoplastics can shine.

Key Celanese engineering polymers can eliminate paint with molded-in colors, specifically metallic-looking colors with MetaLX^™ metal-effect polymers. They not only help deliver products look great and feel good in the hand but also have excellent mechanical properties as well as the ability to withstand exposure to aqueous and non-aqueous chemicals, including alcohols, fats and oils.

Celanese is helping manufacturers to enhance the cosmetic appearance of their bottles and components as well as to achieve parts reduction, total unit cost reduction, chemical resistance and durability.

High-performance Celanese engineering polymers for bottles and components are:

Aesthetically pleasing — Obtain out-of-mold surfaces with high gloss, metal effect, specialty colors
Structural — Exceptionally strong polymers that perform under load
Cost effective — Save 10 percent to 50 percent depending on manufacturing
Green — Recyclable, little to no VOCs released during processing and low odor
Robust — Exceptional high temperature performance
Chemical resistant — Outstanding resistance to oils, solvents and extremely low moisture absorption
Durable — Excellent hardness, stiffness and dimensional stability
