Improved Barex makes for crystal-clear cosmetics packaging
Introduced earlier this month by the supplier, Ineos Barex (Delaware City, DE), and the company’s European distributor, Velox (Hamburg, Germany), the new grade of Barex, dubbed Cosmetic Clear Barex, is targeted specially at processors of applications where improved transparency is required. The new grade offers higher clarity than past ones (Barex by nature has a straw-colored tint).

Barex acrylonitrile copolymer offers high barrier properties against gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, as well as chemical resistance and inertness. It also brings to packaging a barrier to aromas, fragrances, and volatile components. It is used in a wide variety of applications and processes including in extruded and calendered sheet, blown film, injection- and extrusion-blown bottles, and injection molded and engineered components.
Barex resins comply with EEC Directives for direct food contact and meet requirements for a USP Class VI Medical Plastic and EU pharmacopoeias. —[email protected]
