Monprene® TPE for Packaging

In the food and beverage industry, there is tremendous competitive pressure to provide innovative, eye-catching packaging to appeal to consumers and sell product. Creating innovative packaging that meets stringent performance requirements, while also satisfying sustainability goals and maintaining cost effectiveness, can prove difficult without the right partner. At Teknor Apex, we work directly with packaging designers to develop customized solutions to meet specific end-use requirements. We are an industry leader in thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solutions for closure liners, with a broad range of materials to suit any filling process. From specialty TPE blends used in PE and PP closures in a hot-fill liner process, to high performance TPEs with superior oxygen and moisture barrier properties used in Aseptic-filled protein drink applications or ROPP aluminum closures, Teknor Apex has the solution.
