Fancy & Trend, a Taiwan-based firm specializing in high quality cosmetic and skin care packaging, has developed a series of clear Surlyn® tubes. Using DuPont's high quality Surlyn material, the tubes are transparent, durable, squeezable and eco-friendly.

Before Surlyn was first invented in 1970s, most cosmetic tubes were made of either PE or PP.  Although PE and PP are excellent and safe materials for cosmetics and skin care products, their transparency, especially for cosmetics, has always been something of a problem for many customers.  Customers often remark that PE and PP packaging do not accurately represent the colours of their formulae as clearly as they should.  Now, as Surlyn molding techniques are far more mature and common, this transparency problem no longer exists.

With improved transparency, Surlyn tubes are also stronger than PE but squeezable as well.  With injection molding capabilities, Surlyn can be made into square shapes, to provide more choice to packaging designers.

Moreover, Surlyn provides excellent resistance against attrition, chemicals, and low temperatures, making it one of the most ideal materials for cosmetics and skin care products available today.  Surlyn is also 100% recyclable, which is more friendly to the planet.

The company has combined all the unique points of Surlyn with its experience in making packagings, making the Surlyn tube seriesa good choice companies seeking to introduce new products to their target markets.
