Braskem — Polymer and Elastomer Choices Made Easier for Busy Industrial Teams

Braskem helps sourcing, engineering and operations teams compare resin, plastic processing and rubber product options without getting lost in grade codes, compliance paperwork or unclear lead times.

Grouped specification view

Packaging review data organized by the decisions buyers actually need to make.

Braskem structures technical conversations around the variables that affect shelf life, conversion economics, regulatory scope, and site qualification. The grouped table below mirrors the information normally requested before a rigid packaging RFQ is released.

Material and conversion window
PET / PP / PE review basis
Grade family, melt behavior, wall target, closure interface, and conversion route are documented before sampling.
Rigid format coverage
Bottles, jars, containers, caps, trays, and custom molded packages for food, beverage, healthcare, and personal care programs.
Barrier and protection factors
Oxygen, moisture, light exposure, product compatibility, drop behavior, and transportation profile are mapped to package geometry.
Compliance and launch evidence
Regulatory statement pack
REACH, RoHS, food-contact, recycling, and region-specific declaration requests can be routed by material and intended market.
Commercial readiness
Volume ramp, lead-time bracket, mold status, decoration approach, palletization, and cost-reduction scenarios are captured for sourcing review.
01

Grade discussions start from measurable conditions.

Instead of asking buyers to sort through broad catalogs, Braskem frames each request around operating temperature, pressure, chemical exposure, volume, and regulatory destination. That creates a cleaner handoff between sourcing, engineering, and quality teams.

02

Documentation is planned with the quote, not after it.

Requests can include certificate needs, restricted substance declarations, migration context, traceability language, and sample labeling. The result is a shorter path from quotation to trial approval for polymer and hose assembly programs.

03

Lean communication keeps purchasing work visible.

Each inquiry is shaped into practical next steps: product family, spec gap, sample quantity, lead time assumption, and commercial constraint. Teams get fewer loose email threads and a clearer route to purchase order readiness.

Built for buyers balancing performance, documentation and plant continuity.

01

Automotive systems

Rubber seals, EPDM profiles and molded parts for vibration, weathering and fluid exposure.

02

Industrial equipment

Industrial hose, gaskets and elastomer components for maintenance teams and OEM assemblies.

03

Healthcare devices

Silicone tubing and polymer components where cleanliness, traceability and material review matter.

04

Packaging operations

Plastic processing and polymer parts used around conveyor, sealing and handling equipment.

“The useful difference was not a broader catalog. It was the way Braskem connected elastomer behavior, converting limits and compliance evidence into one decision file our sourcing committee could actually use.”
