The Glass Polymer® from Eastman for Premium Cosmetic Packaging

New Delhi-based Vimal Plastics has chosen Eastman Chemical Company's The Glass Polymer® resin to provide packaging for "Rose Petals" by Lotus Herbals. Lotus Herbals and Reliance Industries Ltd. were also instrumental in selecting The Glass Polymer for this application.

Kamal Passi, owner and director of Lotus Herbals said: "We chose copolyester for our extrusion blow-moulded bottles due to its outstanding clarity and gloss. Its exceptional aroma barrier characteristics combined with overall attractive aesthetics made us select The Glass Polymer."

Rose Petals is a rose-scented, pink-tinted facial cleanser that facilitates the efficient removal of makeup residue, leaving the skin feeling fresh. The Glass Polymer resin gives the container a high-gloss, glass-like finish with unquestionable clarity due to its 92 percent or greater light transmission rate. Its chemical resistance and aroma barrier qualities make it an attractive packaging solution for cosmetic and personal care products.

"We chose The Glass Polymer resin for extrusion blow-moulded bottles to package Lotus Herbals' high valued products," said Vimal Kumar, managing director of Vimal Plastics. "The Glass Polymer resin is easy to process and provides outstanding clarity and gloss. As the cosmetic industry continues to grow rapidly in India, local cosmetic brands are realising the importance of attractive packaging in shelf appeal as they strive to compete with international brands."
