Plastic brings weight and cost reductions

Lighter container weights are also appreciated by the women who are likely to carry these products in their business travels. The container comes in 4.8-, 30-, and 200-mL sizes.

All three sizes are injection molded of DuPont Surlyn PC350. Ileos executed all design and engineering details and then outsourced the manufacturing of the containers. From an innovation standpoint, Ileos claims the containers could not have been produced without considerable “research and a variety of tests in injection molding” so that it was possible to produce “a dimensionally stable thick-wall part without shrinkage.”
