Inert and resistant to chemicals
Barex Resins have the chemical resistance to stand up to your
toughest products. Both the package and the product maintain
their integrity to a much greater extent—even products with
highly active chemicals such as hydrocarbons, ketones, esters
and alcohols.
Barex Resins add nothing and take nothing from the
product—no scalping, no tainting. Inert to fragrances and
fl avors, Barex Resins can extend the shelf life of many
personal care, pharmaceutical, medical and household
products.
An effective gas barrier
Barex Resins also protect other materials from interacting with
your product, doing a better job keeping oxygen and other
gases out and your product in.
The oxygen-barrier performance of Barex Resins protects
products from oxidation, bringing even greater stability to your
product, whether it’s fl avor, aroma, color—or all three—that you
need to protect.

Barex Resins keep everything in its place
Barex Resins meet U.S. and European regulations that make
them ideal for a range of products. Barex Resins eliminate the
need for a separate heat-seal layer. In a blister pack
the barrier performance of Barex Resins helps maintain fl avor
and extend shelf life. In a sachet - as both the chemically
resistant contact layer and the heat-seal layer, Barex
Resins can offer a secure solution for products with strong
ingredients. In an injection-molded part - Barex Resins provide
chemical-resistance in a variety of shapes and sizes. In a bottle
Barex Resins keep fragrances and fl avors in their place.
