Extrusion International 3-2020

28 Extrusion International 3/2020 TUBE EXTRUSION The requirements on packaging for cosmetic tubes is changing. Sustain- ability is the key word which drives the market. Sustainability can be achieved by adapting a lot of dif- ferent parameters: Reducing the amount of raw material, using envi- ronmental friendly recycled or bio- based raw material and closing the loop by making the packaging recy- clable are the key demands on pack- aging side. Breyer were able to place several 6- and 7- layer tube extrusion lines in the market. The multi-barrier tube offers 2 separate barriers in a 7-layer configuration. This helps to optimize the barrier characteristic according to the requirements of the filling ma- terial. Also, this high barrier tube came right in time for the growing demand of sanitizing products. Even greener Different quality and purity levels of pre-used raw materials require extra skin layers to separate the PCR from the filling or the printing surface. Thanks to the special BREYER tech- nology, up to 86% PCR or PIR can be used in a barrier tube. The PCR mate- rial can be separated from the sensi- tive filling product by adding an ad- ditional skin layer inside, containing virgin polymer in a range from 40 to 100μm. On production side it is necessary to reduce waste and energy demand during production. Breyer’s answer is the TopLine, which produces 5-, 6- and 7-layer tubes with maximum performance. BREYER offers unique opportunities to produce packaging in an energy-saving, efficient and sustainable way. After introducing the Multi-Barrier 7-layer tube during K2019, the mar- ket response was very positive and 2020 Novelty – Sustainable Tube Extrusion for Cosmetic Applications Responsible Handling of Our Resources.
