This area also covers the packaging needs of products that we use on a daily basis for personal care and to clean, protect and freshen our homes.

Product Containment and Chemical Resistance

The challenge in this area lies in the need for packaging materials that are resistant to attack from the chemical products that they need to contain. Many of the applications areas in this area rely on this functionality of Mylar® polyester films from DuPont Teijin Films to package products that contain cleaning chemicals.

This includes packaging of products that we use on a daily basis for personal care and to clean, protect and freshen our homes.

Scent and Odor Barrier

Another key requirement of packaging materials used in this area are their ability to contain fragrance, both to ensure that the manufacturer added scents remain in the product prior to purchase and to minimize scent transfer to other goods during supermarket shelf or domestic storage.
