A plastic-for-glass replacement on a line of high-end cosmetics products sold by Maria Galland of France won DuPont silver for Ileos. Cost savings of up to 20% depending on size were achieved when the switch was made.

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.”
