At Eastman, we have long experience of providing materials to survive in the harshest, most hostile environments. When combined with sand, for example, our products can literally hold back the tide and withstand bullets. But nowhere are the demands greatest and the competition most intense than in cosmetics and personal care packaging. Ever since the cosmetics and personal care market became accessorized by the fashion industry, there has been a raising of the stakes. Products need to have the shelf appeal to sell, but also the toughness to survive UV, chemical resistance, and a modern lifestyle in which the bottom of the sports bag has replaced the bathroom window sill as the residence of choice. This is where Eastman comes in. Consider The Glass Polymer™ – a family of copolyester resins so named because of glass-like clarity and thickness. The Glass Polymer™ isn’t just a shatterproof alternative to glass; it has a character, feel and warmth all of its own. This is just one facet of a portfolio that's behind award-winning products that are making waves everywhere from São Paulo to Paris to London and New York City.
