Barrier Plastics and BP Polymers operate in the packaging and containers manufacturing sector, focusing on barrier performance for rigid plastic packaging. They supply Kortrax BR, a barrier resin additive that, when blended into HDPE or PP, forms a protective barrier within the container wall and eliminates the fluorination step. The technology accommodates containers of any shape, size, design, or color and is recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers as meeting recyclability criteria within the HDPE stream. It also complies with FDA, USP 661, and EU standards, and supports a reduced carbon footprint by avoiding post-manufacturing fluorination handling and transport. The business is based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and consists of a small team. A 2018 partnership with CKS Packaging positioned Barrier Plastics and BP Polymers as a primary North American producer of HDPE rigid containers that deploy their barrier resin technology.
