Materials and processing

Grivory G21 is an amorphous semi-aromatic nylon material developed by EMS-GRIVORY. This structured nylon material has excellent barrier properties for many components such as oils, waxes, solvents, fragrances, alcohol, and various vitamins. Therefore, it is widely used in various fields requiring high barrier packaging, such as food, beverages, beer, cosmetics and other industries.

And L`OREAL chose this material for its packaging. In addition to the good barrier properties of the material, there is one of the biggest features that Gricory G21 does not react with its packaged products.

Grivory G21 has a higher melt viscosity than nylon, which is commonly used for injection molding. This not only improves the stability of the process, but also ensures a good consistency of the final product quality. This ensures that all products have good drop test performance without exception. Grivory's high quality is also reflected in the final part appearance and surface finish. Due to its high surface gloss, ease of printing, and excellent scratch resistance, Grivory is an ideal material for a variety of cosmetic packaging applications.

Thanks to the many advantages of the Grivory G21, L`OREAL chose this material in a variety of different barrier materials when processing its own waterproof mascara products. GANAHL uses specially designed molding technology to produce a variety of high quality product packaging containers for L`OREAL.
