Life Is Beautiful With Dupont™ Surlyn®

The flacon embodying this feeling is a redesign of a Lancôme bottle from 1949 called “le sourire de cristal” and closed with a prismatic cap made from DuPont™ Surlyn® combined with a galvanized Zamac plate at the bottom.

The flacon embodying this feeling is a redesign of a Lancôme bottle from 1949 called “le sourire de cristal” and closed with a prismatic cap made from DuPont™ Surlyn® combined with a galvanized Zamac plate at the bottom. The cap is designed in a pure and simple looking way to achieve the highest possible clarity and a glass-like approach. To realize this the DuPont packaging resin was the material of choice for the molder MBF Plastiques, who was able to provide a solution hiding the injection gate and mould a cube with sharp angles and flat surfaces without traces of welding lines or sink marks. Further on MBF Plastiques accomplished the cap in a way that conceals the glue that joins the Surlyn® and the Zamac part. The outcome is a cost-effective glass-like cap with the attributes of a glass cube and without its brittleness.
