Du Pont’s innovative Surlyn product range promises to be a source of creative new ideas for designers and brands in the perfume and cosmetics industry. This is a 3D textile technology that involves the over moulding of a container wrapped in textile with Surlyn resin. This encapsulation technology with Surlyn allows objects, images, design elements and now even textiles to look as suspended in a crystal-clear cap for quite astonishing visual effects. The over moulded decorations maintain fine details and show no distortion. So the design is preserved and magnified, such as the delicate red poppy embedded in the new cap of the recently launched Kenzo flower in the Air perfume.
Inside Kenzo’s cap produced with DuPont Surlyn by the French packaging company SAF is encapsulated a poppy corolla, visible from both sides, thanks to a special laying and over moulding process developed by SAF.
DuPont Surlyn resins are available in a wide variety of proven grades designed for specific packaging needs. With Surlyn brands can reduce the number of leaking packages, increase line speeds, shut out contaminants, increase efficiency, and handle the toughest of packaging challenges. The resin has sparkling clarity, high gloss, critical handling advantages, and is puncture resistant.
