Address: Helsinki, Finland

Sulapac® Flow 1.8 is a cutting-edge, bio-based material engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of cosmetic pencils and thin-walled packaging.

📝 The Sustainable Revolution for Color Cosmetics Packaging

Sulapac® Flow 1.8 is a cutting-edge, bio-based material engineered specifically for the demanding requirements of cosmetic pencils and thin-walled packaging. The color cosmetics industry produces billions of plastic eyeliner and lip liner pencils every year, most of which end up in landfills or oceans as microplastics. Sulapac provides a revolutionary solution: a material that looks, feels, and performs like conventional plastic but is 100% microplastic-free and naturally biodegradable.

Designed for both extrusion and injection molding, Sulapac® Flow 1.8 is the ultimate “drop-in” solution for cosmetics manufacturers. It provides exceptional dimensional stability, ensuring airtight closures to protect sensitive cosmetic formulas from drying out. Furthermore, for sharpenable pencil applications, it offers a smooth, flawless sharpening experience without the splintering of traditional wood or the environmental guilt of fossil-based plastics.

🎯 Use Cases (Applications)

Sulapac® Flow 1.8 is optimized for long, narrow, and thin-walled structures in the beauty industry:

Sharpenable Pencils: Eyeliners, lip liners, brow pencils, and jumbo color sticks.
Mechanical Pens: Retractable cosmetic pencils and twist-up mechanisms.
Thin-Walled Tubes: Packaging for concealers, highlighters, and solid perfumes.
Applicator Wands: Mascara and lip gloss wands requiring rigid but narrow profiles.

🔄 Alternative To (What It Replaces)

This material is structurally and functionally formulated to replace highly polluting materials traditionally used in cosmetic pencils:

Fossil-Based Plastics: PP (Polypropylene), ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), and POM (Polyoxymethylene).
Conventional Wood: Cedar or other woods that often require heavy chemical lacquering, plastic inner tubes (to prevent formula dry-out), and have high waste rates due to splintering.
