Polypropylene Materials

Spartech manufactures a variety of specialty compounds and additives that aid in recycling efforts or otherwise create situations that reduce waste. Below are some examples.


Packalloy TPX This polypropylene alloy used extensively in the food packaging market replaces thicker alternative materials. The result less waste due to the use of less plastic and Packalloly TPX is 100% recyclable.



Packalloy MLB Packalloy MLB is a multilayer Polypropylene material that was designed for use as a food container. It has replaced the traditional glass baby food jars. The result is not only a more environmentally friendly alternative, but a safer product as well. Packalloy MLB requires less than one-third the energy to produce, a lowered need for sterilization and the associated energy, less than half the packaging material to protect it from breaking, and about 60% of the fuel to ship it than the traditional glass jars. Personal safety is another reason for transitioning to Packalloy MLB. As with the transition from glass to plastic soda bottles, a dropped container no longer means sharp glass and wasted contents to clean up.
