Soarnol® is commonly used in barrier tube applications such as toothpaste, cosmetics, glues and caulks. In these applications Soarnol® serves as a barrier not only to oxygen but also various hydrocarbons (e.g. flavors and fragrances).

Soarnol's® ability to prevent oxidation of the oils that are components of cosmetics, and to preserve other aromatic components, is expanding the use of Soarnol® as a barrier material in this application. In addition, Soarnol® exhibits almost no decomposition gases during extrusion, which ensures that cosmetic properties are not compromised by the presence of undesirable odors coming from decomposition of the resin itself.
