How Recycled TPE Improves Paint Containers Durability: Synetik Gdansk’s Ecoplastomer® Case Study
Innovative solutions for durable paint containers
It’s essential for manufacturers aiming for efficiency and durability to understand the differences between paint containers made from recycled polypropylene (PP) and those produced using our 100% PCR content thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
Synetik Gdansk recently utilized our material, Ecoplastomer® PP 70, to manufacture paint boxes.
Challenges with recycled polypropylene
When producing paint containers using recycled PP, manufacturers encounter a challenge: the lid must be sealed immediately after injection while the container is still hot. Failing to do so causes the thin membrane connecting the lid and container to harden, making it susceptible to cracking upon subsequent bending.
Advantages of our 100% recycled TPE
Our innovative TPE material provides a great solution to these challenges. When paint boxes are made from Ecoplastomer®, there is no longer a need to seal the lid immediately while the container is hot. This flexibility simplifies the production process, allowing for more efficient manufacturing without compromising the integrity of the product.
Enhanced durability and flexibility
The use of our circular TPE significantly enhances the durability of paint containers. Our TPE contains recycled rubber, allowing for flexibility that prevents the lid hinge from cracking.
Contributing to a sustainable future
Every test and case study conducted in collaboration with our partners reinforces our dedication to a sustainable future. By selecting our post-consumer recycled content TPE, manufacturers can enhance production efficiency and product durability while also contributing to environmental sustainability.
Conclusion
The advantages of using Ecoplastomer®, such as saving production time and increasing product durability and flexibility, showcase its superiority over traditional solutions.
