    [0001] The present invention relates to applicators for applying a cosmetic, makeup or care product to eyelashes or eyebrows, for example mascara. Such an applicator may comprise a rod and, at one end thereof, an applicator member for applying the product to the eyelashes or eyebrows. The invention relates more particularly to applicators comprising a molded application member. The invention also relates to packaging and application devices, comprising a container containing the product to be applied, and the applicator. The sampling of the product takes place in the container which can be provided with a wiper member to remove the excess product present on the rod and on the applicator member.
    [0002] This wiper member comprises for example a lip made of an elastomeric material, defining a wiping orifice of circular section whose diameter substantially corresponds to that of the rod. Many applicators are known having a molded application member.
    [0003] The application EP 1 440 629 relates to an applicator having two walls arranged in a V, leaving between them a slot for dispensing the product. The patent applications FR 2 926 446, FR 2 968 906 and JP 2009-219630 relate to spoon-shaped applicators, which can carry separating elements converging towards one another. In addition, in Application FR 2 968 906, it is sought to apply a powdery product. US2009 / 0056737 relates to a mascara applicator having a full-length curved application member carrying teeth. There is a need to further improve the applicators for the application of a product, especially mascara, on the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows, in order to improve their performance, and more particularly to promote the creation on the body of the eye. application of more product-laden areas, which allow easy makeup and fast and abundant loading of eyelashes and / or eyebrows, while maintaining a high capacity for separation of eyelashes and / or eyebrows. According to one of its aspects, the subject of the invention is therefore an applicator for applying a cosmetic or care product to the eyelashes or the eyebrows, comprising a molded application member, comprising: a core extending in a manner longitudinal axis X, - pins carried by the core, extending from the core, a majority of the pins being substantially parallel to each other, the core having in cross section at least a generally concave shape towards the outside , providing a cavity, pins being arranged inside the cavity of the soul. By "pins substantially parallel to each other" it should be understood that the axes of elongation of the pins are parallel or slightly inclined relative to each other by an angle less than or equal to 15 °. More than two thirds of the pins may be parallel to each other, better more than three quarters of the pins, or substantially all the pins may be parallel to each other. The parallelism between the pins makes it possible to obtain better combing of the eyelashes, the latter being better taken care of by the pins. The concavity of the core gives the applicator a better ability to retain and store the product, especially in the cavity. The eyelashes can, during the application, bathe in the product, the pins allowing the separation of the eyelashes after their loading in product. The invention makes it possible to obtain, on the applicator member, particularly in the cavity, at least one reservoir zone, which, after spinning, provides a surplus of product on the core. Indeed, the product may not be wrung out in the cavity. This surplus of product allows, from the first application, a significant and satisfactory load of product of the eyelashes and / or eyebrows. By "longitudinal axis of the soul" is meant the line joining the set of centroids of the cross sections of the soul. The longitudinal axis may be a central axis or an axis of symmetry for the core, especially when the core has a circular cross section or generally polygonal regular shape. The longitudinal axis of the core may be rectilinear or curved and may be contained in a plane, which may be a plane of symmetry for some or all cross sections of the soul. Preferably, the longitudinal axis of the core is rectilinear. By "pin" means an individualizable projecting element intended to come into engagement with the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows.
    [0004] The core may have a generally concave outward shape when viewed in cross-section, i.e. in a section extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the core.
    [0005] The core may also have, if appropriate, a generally concave outward shape when observed in longitudinal section, that is to say in a section extending parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the soul . The core may have a generally concave outward shape both in cross-section and in longitudinal section.
    [0006] Alternatively, the core may be concave only in cross section and not in longitudinal section. In this case, when observed in longitudinal section, the bottom of the core extends parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the core. The curvature in cross section of the face defining the concavity in which the pins are arranged, can evolve as one moves along the applicator member, and in particular the face can flatten towards the end distal of the application organ. The edges of the soul which delimit laterally in top view may be rectilinear over the majority of the length of the applicator member when the latter is observed on the side perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the applicator member. .
    [0007] Pins may be partially obscured by the core when the latter is viewed from the side in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the core and the elongation direction of the pins. The core may comprise at least one flange, in particular two flanges, extending substantially longitudinally and laterally delimiting the cavity. The edge or edges tend to prevent the spinning of the lower part of the pins located nearby. By "rim" is meant a portion of the protruding core which delimits the cavity along the longitudinal axis of the core. The flange or flanges may extend parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the core, or be slightly curved, while having a general direction parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the core. The flange or edges allow to cover at least partially the spikes when the applicator is viewed from the side, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the core, that is to say that the spikes are at least partially not visible in this configuration, so that the pins can be at least partially protected during the eventual spinning of the applicator. The storage and application of the product are improved. In addition, the presence of the edges can improve the bending of the eyelashes.
    [0008] The pins may protrude from the core when the applicator is viewed in side view perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the core. This allows a better separation of the eyelashes, the pins detaching largely from the edges and thus being easily accessible during application.
    [0009] The height of the rim or flanges is preferably smaller than the height of the larger spikes. By "height of a rim" is meant the distance measured perpendicular to the web between the top of the flange and its base by which it is connected to the bottom wall of the core. By "height of a pin" is meant the distance measured along the axis of elongation of the pin between its free end and its base by which it is connected to the core. By "axis of elongation of the pin" is meant an axis that passes through the centroids of the cross sections of the pin. The ratio / '// between the height /' of a pin protruding from the soul observed in side view and its total height / may be between 0 and 10 mm, better between 0.5 and 5 mm. The height / 'can be between 0 and 5 mm.
    [0010] Alternatively, the pins may be at the same height as the edges of the core, flush but not exceeding them. In another variant, the pins may be too small to be visible when the applicator is viewed in side view perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the core. The height of the core may be between 2 mm and 10 mm, better still between 3 mm and 6 mm. The height of the soul can be constant throughout its length. Preferably, the height of the core is variable, in particular by increasing and then decreasing when moving along the longitudinal axis of the core. The width e of the edge or edges may be between 2 mm and 15 mm, better between 3 mm and 10 mm. By "width of a rim" is meant the largest transverse dimension of the rim, in section, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rim. The flange or flanges may be connected to a bottom wall, which bottom wall may be flat, concave or convex towards the interior of the cavity, preferably concave. The edge or edges may be connected perpendicularly or obliquely to the bottom wall. As a variant again, the core may be in cross section of generally curved shape, without flanges.
    [0011] The face of the core on which the pins are connected may be non-planar, in particular concave towards the outside, in particular when observed in cross section. The free end of the pins can define an envelope surface having a concave profile outwardly when the applicator member is viewed from the side.
    [0012] The edges of the core may be rectilinear over a major part of the portion of the core carrying pins, preferably contained in a plane perpendicular to the direction of elongation of the pins. Alternatively, the edges of the core may be non-rectilinear, being for example curved. They may for example be bent around at least one axis of curvature, or even two axes of curvature. The core may comprise a through hole, in particular slot-shaped elongated in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the core. Such an orifice can facilitate the filling of the cavity of the core, insofar as the product can penetrate into this cavity by the opposite side to the pins present in the cavity. Such an orifice may also make it possible to increase the product storage capacity of the applicator. It may also make it possible to avoid the piston effect during the crossing of a possible wiper member by the applicator. The orifice may be located at the bottom of the cavity. The through hole may separate two sections of the core, the pins being arranged on each staggered section, the number of rows extending along the X axis, carried by each section, being between 1 and 4, being preferably equal to 3. In a variant, the applicator may be devoid of such a through orifice. The applicator member may be free of pins on the opposite side to the concavity of the core, the applicator member having in this case only pins disposed inside the concavity of the core, and then being entirely free of pimples outside this concavity. Alternatively, the soul may carry pins on the side opposite to its concavity. These pins disposed on the side opposite the concavity may be substantially parallel to each other. More than two-thirds of the opposing pins to the concavity may be parallel to each other, more than three quarters of the pins opposed to the concavity, or substantially all the pins opposite the concavity may be parallel to each other. As a variant, these spikes, opposed to the concavity, can be oriented differently, for example radially.
    [0013] The core may have a tapered free end. This tapered end may allow the retention of a drop of product when leaving the container containing the product. This drop of product can be applied by tapping the eyelid under the eyelashes to transfer product to this location with an eyeliner effect. This tip can be flocked or not. At least one of the core and / or pins may be covered in whole or in part with a flocking. The flanges are preferably molded with the rest of the core in the same material.
    [0014] The core and the pins can be molded in the same material, or alternatively can be made in at least two different materials. A portion of the core and pins may for example be made in a first material, and another part of the core and pins may be made in a second material, for example more flexible or harder than the first. The core is for example formed of one or more thermoplastics, which may be elastomeric. The core and / or the pins may be made of an elastomeric material, thermoplastic, thermosetting, metal or ceramic. In exemplary embodiments of the invention, the pins are made by molding or overmolding with the core. The pins may, for example, be made by a technique in which there is injection of a material through at least a portion of the core, so as to allow the formation of the pins. Pincers The height of at least one pin, measured from the core, may be between 1 mm and 16 mm, or even between 1.5 mm and 6 mm.
    [0015] The height of the pins may vary, for example monotonically, as one moves along the longitudinal axis of the core. For example, when moving along this longitudinal axis, the height of the pins can increase between the proximal end of the core and a first abscissa and then remain substantially constant between this first abscissa and a second abscissa and then decrease between this second abscissa and the distal end of the soul. Alternatively, the height of the pins can decrease and increase as one moves along the longitudinal axis of the core. As a further variant, the height of the pins may be of constant height over a major part of the length of the applicator member, or even over the entire length of the applicator member, but appear in side view, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the soul, as decreasing and increasing, taking into account the concavity of the face of the soul on which the pins are connected.
    [0016] The pins may differ from each other by at least one of their shape, thickness, height, orientation, color and / or material. The pins may be perpendicular or not to the longitudinal axis of the core. Some pins of the applicator, or all the pins, may have a thickness measured at their base, that is to say at the point of connection of the pins to the core, between 0.2 and 1 mm, or between 0.3 and 0.7 mm. By "thickness of a pin" is meant the largest transverse dimension of the pin, in section, perpendicular to the axis of elongation of the pin. It is a diameter when the pin is generally conical. The pimples can be of any shape. The pins may have a cylindrical or tapered shape, especially conical, frustoconical or pyramidal. At least one pin may be terminated by a rounded free end, particularly hemispherical. Taking into account the parallelism between the aforementioned pins, and the concave shape of the core, the axis of elongation of the pins can form an angle different from 90 ° with the surface of the core at the point of connection of the pins to the soul. Alternatively or additionally, at least some pins may extend from the core along an axis of elongation perpendicular to the web surface at the point of connection of the pin to the core. The applicator may comprise between 10 and 200 pins, for example between 30 and 150 pins.
    [0017] Applicator According to an exemplary implementation of the invention, the applicator member is molded within a mold formed by assembling a plurality of shells. The applicator may comprise a rod carrying at one end the applicator member and fixed at a second end to a gripping member.
    [0018] The core may be solid, being for example molded with a fixing end to the rod of the applicator.
    [0019] The applicator member may be fixed on the rod by snapping, gluing, welding, crimping, stamping, stapling, forced insertion, cold or hot, for example by mounting in a housing of the rod. Alternatively, the rod can be received in a housing provided in the core.
    [0020] The rod and the applicator member may also be molded in one piece, in the same thermoplastic material or not. The pins may be made of a material more or less rigid than a material used to make the rod of the applicator to which the core is connected. The applicator member may comprise a mounting piece integrally molded with the core, which may optionally include one or more narrowed portions to improve applicator flexibility and flexibility. application. The core may extend along a longitudinal axis making at least one point of its length an angle with the longitudinal axis of the rod to which is fixed the core. The applicator member may be bent at its connection to the rod.
    [0021] The rod may comprise a first portion, rigid, extended distally by a second portion, more flexible, for example elastomer, carrying the applicator member. A larger transverse dimension of the core may be smaller, greater than or equal to a larger transverse dimension of the shaft.
    [0022] The apparent height of the applicator member may be between 2 mm and 15 mm, better still between 3 mm and 10 mm. "Apparent height" means the total height of the applicator member, measured perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis. It is measured between the point of the applicator member furthest from the axis on one side of the axis, and the point furthest from the axis on the other side of the axis.
    [0023] Application Device The invention further relates to a device for packaging and applying a product to the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows, comprising an applicator according to the invention and a container containing the product. The product is preferably a mascara. The gripping member of the applicator may constitute a cap for closing the container. The container may include a wiper member adapted to wring the rod and the applicator member.
    [0024] The invention further relates, in another of its aspects, to a process for making up the eyelashes or the eyebrows, comprising the step of applying a cosmetic product to the eyelashes or eyebrows with the aid of an organ of application according to the invention, as defined above.
    [0025] The invention will be better understood on reading the following detailed description of nonlimiting examples of implementation thereof, and on examining the appended drawing, in which: FIG. 1 is a schematic view in elevation, with partial longitudinal section, of an exemplary packaging and application device produced in accordance with the invention; FIG. 2 represents, in perspective, the application member of FIG. FIGS. 3a and 3b are views respectively along the arrows A and B of the applicator member of FIGS. 1 and 2, FIG. 4 is a cross section of the applicator member of FIGS. 1 and 2; FIGS. 5 to 8 and 11 are views similar to FIG. 4 of variant embodiments, FIGS. 9, 10, 10a and 10b are longitudinal sections of variant embodiments, FIG. 12 is a view similar to FIG. FIG. 2, an alternative embodiment of an application member and FIG. 13 is a view similar to FIG. 2 illustrating the use of the device.
    [0026] FIGS. 1, 2, 3a, 3b and 4 show a device 1 for packaging and application made according to the invention, comprising an applicator 2 and an associated container 3 containing a product P to be applied to the eyelashes and / or the eyebrows, for example a makeup product such as mascara or a care product. The container 3 comprises, in the example considered, a threaded neck 4 and the applicator 2 comprises a closure cap 5 arranged to be fixed on the neck 4 in order to close the container 3 tightly in the absence of use , the closing cap 5 also constituting a gripping member for the applicator 2.
    [0027] The applicator 2 comprises a rod 7 of longitudinal axis Y, which is connected at its upper end to the closure cap 5 and, at its lower end, to an applicator member 8. The latter comprises a core 10 carrying pins 18, extending from the soul 10.
    [0028] The container 3 also comprises a wiper member 6, for example inserted in the neck 4. This wiper member 6, which may be arbitrary, comprises in the example in question a lip arranged to dewater the rod 7 and the organ application 8 when the applicator 2 is removed from the container 3. The lip defines a wiper orifice 6a of diameter adapted to that of the rod.
    [0029] In the example shown, the rod 7 has a circular cross section but it is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the rod 7 has a different section, the fixing of the cap 5 on the container 3 can then be performed otherwise than by screwing, if necessary. The wiper member 6 is adapted to the shape of the rod 7 and that of the applicator member 8, where appropriate.
    [0030] Preferably and as in the example considered, the longitudinal axis Y of the rod 7 is rectilinear and coincides with the longitudinal axis of the container 3 when the applicator 2 is in place thereon, but it does not leave the of the present invention when the rod 7 is non-rectilinear, forming for example a bend. The rod 7 may comprise, where appropriate, an annular necking on its portion which is positioned opposite the lip of the wiper member 6, so as not to mechanically stress it excessively during storage. Fixing the applicator member 8 on the rod 7 can be done by any means and in particular be done by force fitting, latching, gluing, welding stapling or crimping, in a corresponding housing provided at the end of the rod 7.
    [0031] The applicator member 8 may comprise, as illustrated in FIG. 2, a nozzle 9 enabling it to be fixed in a corresponding housing of the rod 7, possibly in a marked manner. Alternatively, the rod 7 can be inserted into a housing provided in the core 10. The core 10 can also be made in one piece by molding material with the rod 7.
    [0032] Referring to Figure 2, we see that the core 10 is of elongate shape along a longitudinal axis X, which is rectilinear in the example described. The longitudinal axis X may be central, as illustrated.
    [0033] The apparent length L of the applicator member 8 is for example between 5 mm and 40 mm, better still 10 mm and 30 mm. In the example shown, the pins 18 extend from the core 10 each along an axis of elongation W perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the core, so that all the pins are parallel to each other. other. In a variant not shown, the axis of elongation W of some of the pins 18 forms an angle different from 90 ° with the longitudinal axis X of the core, or with a plane containing this axis. Furthermore, the core 10 has both a cross-section and a longitudinal cross-section in general shape concave towards the outside, providing a cavity 20.
    [0034] In other words, the core 10 has the general shape of a spoon, having in view from above a width which increases and then decreases as one moves along the longitudinal axis X of the core, with a distal end going into tapering. The pins 18 are disposed inside the cavity 20 defined by the double concavity of the core 10.
    [0035] Where the core 10 is concave in cross section, the core 10 is defined by two uprights 22 curved upwards in Figure 4, and tapering towards their free edge. In the example described, the apparent height of the soul when viewed from the side as in Figure 3b decreases when moving towards its distal end. The uprights 22 at least partially mask the pins 18 when the applicator is viewed from the side, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the core, as shown in Figure 3b. The pins 18 are only partially visible in this configuration, so that they are at least partially protected during the spinning of the applicator. On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the depth of the cavity is less than the height / spikes, so that the latter protrude from the core by a height / 'when the applicator is observed in side view. perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the core, as in Figure 3b. Thus, we obtain a better separation of the eyelashes, the pins detaching largely from the core and thus being easily accessible during application.
    [0036] The height t 'of the pins protruding from the core may be variable, for example decreasing and increasing, as one moves along the longitudinal axis X, as illustrated, or increasing and then decreasing. The height t 'can still be constant. It can be seen in FIG. 3b that the upper edges 120 of the uprights 22 can be rectilinear when the applicator member is viewed from the side. The upper edges 120 may be contained in a plane K substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X. The profile of the opposite face 121 of the core may be outwardly convex in cross-section, as illustrated in FIG. viewed from the side, the profile of the face 121 can be convex with an inflection when one approaches the distal end 122. The height w of the core, when the applicator member is viewed from the side, may vary along the portion carrying the pins 18, as shown in Figure 3b, decreasing closer to the distal end 122. This may allow the face 121 which is the back of the applicator member of accumulate a surplus of product in the zone 123 the least thick, close to the end 122, surplus product that can be useful for makeup, as shown in Figure 13. The height w can vary from a maximum value wmax in a point of length L of the soul located by for example, in the back quarter from the proximal end 125 of the core to a value wd at L / 8 from the distal end 122, with "ln"> 2 of Wd preferred. The proximal end 125 of the core is defined by the connecting shoulder of the tip 9. The width t of the core 10, when viewed from above as in Figure 3a, varies along it , for example being substantially substantially mid-length of the core, for example between L / 2 - L / 8 and L / 2 + L / 8 from its proximal end 125 or at its distal end 122. In the variant embodiment shown in Figure 5, the pins are not visible when the applicator is viewed in side view perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the core, according to the arrow B. The pins do not exceed the upper edges of blade.
    [0037] In the examples which have just been described, the general shape of the core is curved in cross-section, the upper edges of the core being defined by the upper end of the uprights 22. In a variant, the core may comprise a bottom wall 23 to which are connected amounts 22 in the form of flanges 21, as illustrated respectively in Figures 6 and 7. The flanges 21 may be connected perpendicularly or obliquely to the bottom wall 23, as shown respectively in Figures 6 and 8. The height H of the flanges 21 is smaller than the height / spikes. The flanges 21 make it possible to at least partially mask the spikes when the applicator is viewed from the side, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the core, as illustrated in FIGS. 6 to 8. The spikes 18 are only partially visible in FIG. this configuration, so that they are at least partially protected during the spinning of the applicator. The envelope surface S defined by the free ends of the pins can, when viewed from the side as in Figure 3b, have a concave profile outwardly, preferably with a slight change in slope near the distal end. In the examples which have just been described, application members 8 have been illustrated whose core 10 has a generally concave shape towards the outside when observed in cross-section, ie in a section extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis X of the core 10. In the example of FIGS. 1 to 4, the core 10 has a generally concave shape towards the outside both in cross section and in longitudinal section, that is, in a section extending parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the core. It is not beyond the scope of the present invention when the core is concave only in cross section and not in longitudinal section. In this case, when observed in longitudinal section, the surface 24 of the core to which the pins are connected is straight and parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the core, as shown in FIG. 9. As a further variant, the core may have a generally concave outward shape when viewed in longitudinal section, as illustrated in FIG. 10, with curved edges as well. The edges may be bent around a single axis of curvature, as shown in Figure 10, or around two axes of curvature, as shown in Figures 10a and 10b. In Figure 10a, the edges form two curvatures facing the same side, and in Figure 10b two opposite curvatures. Furthermore, in the example illustrated in Figures 1 to 4 in particular, the core comprises a through hole 25. Such an orifice 25 may take the form of an elongated slot 25a along the longitudinal axis of the core, as illustrated. such a shape can facilitate the storage and release of the product. The width of the slot may vary, being substantially at mid-length. The slot 25a may terminate at its proximal end by a circular edge 25b, a recess 25c being provided between the ends of this circular edge 25b and the remainder of the slot 25a.
    [0038] The slot 25 may extend along a length along the X axis which is preferably greater than or equal to L / 4 and more preferably between L / 2 + L / 4 and L / 2. In plan view, the pins 18 may be arranged with their non-contiguous bases, with a number of pins 18 in the width direction of the core 10 which may be always less than or equal to 6.
    [0039] The applicator member 8 can comprise three rows of pins 18 on each core section 130 located on one side of the slot 25. Within each section 130, the pins 18 of the rows are arranged in staggered rows. Out of the sections 130, the pins 18 are arranged substantially with a regular spacing in the direction of the length and the width. The core may alternatively be devoid of a through orifice, as illustrated in FIG. 11. The core may comprise only pins 18 disposed inside the cavity 20, as illustrated previously, or alternatively, it may carry pins 19 on the opposite side to its cavity 20, as shown in Figure 12. These pins 19 may be substantially divergent, as illustrated, or parallel to each other, or alternatively they may converge towards each other. The height of the pins 18 may decrease towards the distal end 12 of the core 10, as can be seen in FIG. 2, in order to facilitate the engagement in the receptacle 3. In a non-illustrated embodiment, the height of the pins 18 decreases when one approaches the rod 7, so as to facilitate the crossing of the wiper member 6 by the applicator member 8 during removal of the applicator 2 of the container 3 .
    [0040] The pins 18 may have various shapes. In the example considered, the pins 18 are of conical shape. The invention is however not limited to a particular form of pins. The wiper member 6 may be made of elastomer. The wiper member 6 may comprise a wiping orifice 6a of circular shape, possibly with slots. The diameter of the wiping orifice 6a of the wiper member 6 is for example between 3 and 5.5 mm, for example of the order of 4.5 mm or 5 mm. The wiper member 6 may optionally comprise corrugations, allowing the wiper orifice to widen more easily to the passage of the applicator member 8. The wiping orifice can thus be defined by a undulating wringing lip having a radially inner free edge defining the wringing orifice 6a. The wiper member 6 may comprise a number of corrugations between 3 and 12, for example. The wiper lip may extend generally in a cone converging towards the bottom of the container 3, generating an angle with the longitudinal axis of the container 3.
    [0041] The diameter of the wiping orifice 6a increases for example from 4 mm to 5.5 mm without excessive deformation of the wiper member 6, during the passage of the applicator member 8, by deployment of the corrugations. The wiper member can still be adjustable, if necessary. The wiper member may for example be as described in US Patent Application Nos. 2005/0028834, US 2005/0175394, US 2004/0258453, US 6,375,374, US 6,328,495, US 7,455,468. The rod 7 to which the applicator member 8 is attached may be at least partially, in particular entirely, flexible, in particular in the vicinity of the applicator member.
    [0042] Any thermoplastic material, relatively rigid or not, eg SEBS, silicone, latex, reinforced slip material, butyl, EPDM, nitrile, can be used to mold the applicator member 8. a thermoplastic elastomer, a polyester, polyamide, polyethylene or vinyl elastomer, a polyolefin such as PE or PP, PVC, EVA, PS, SEBS, SIS, PET, POM, PU, SAM, PA, PMMA.
