Durable PVC Compounds & Engineered Plastics for Housewares

Why Material Selection Is an Integral Part of Housewares Manufacturing

Whether you’re manufacturing food storage containers, storage bins, or personal care accessories, our materials provide the performance characteristics needed to deliver durable, safe & aesthetically appealing consumer products.

Modern housewares demand materials that withstand daily use, meet strict safety regulations, and deliver the aesthetic appeal consumers expect. The right material choice directly impacts product lifespan, consumer safety, and manufacturing efficiency.

Durability Under Daily Use: Kitchen tools, storage containers, and home accessories face repeated drops, impacts, and handling that degrade inferior materials over time
Food Safety & Regulatory Compliance: Our materials meet NSF standards for kitchenware and storage applications
Heat & Chemical Exposure: Kitchen products face dishwasher cycles, microwave use, and cleaning chemical exposure that require heat-stable, chemical-resistant materials
Sustainability Expectations: Consumers increasingly demand recyclable, phthalate-free, and eco-friendly materials that align with environmental values

Our AuroraFlex™, AuroraGuard™, and AuroraTec™ product lines offer moisture-resistant, and heat-stable formulations that meet stringent safety and quality standards.

Engineered Thermoplastics & PVC Compounds for Houseware Applications

Aurora Material Solutions - Our thermoplastics & polymers for kitchen products require materials that combine food safety with durability & heat resistance.

Kitchenware & Food Storage Solutions

Kitchen products require materials that combine food safety with durability & heat resistance.

AuroraGuard™ ABS compounds have replaced aluminum, zinc, ceramics, and glass in food processors, blenders, and small kitchen appliances, combining the strength and rigidity of acrylonitrile and styrene polymers with polybutadiene rubber toughness.

AuroraGuard™ PC (polycarbonate) compounds offer outstanding impact strength, excellent colorability, superior heat resistance, and NSF compliance for food-contact applications. These materials are ideal for food storage containers, mixing bowls, measuring cups, and kitchen utensils that require durability and dishwasher safety.

Home Organization & Storage Products

Storage & organization products require materials that combine impact resistance with lightweight design & stackability.

AuroraGuard™ PC/ABS alloys provide the perfect balance of impact strength, heat resistance, and dimensional stability for storage bins, closet organizers, drawer dividers, and modular shelving systems.

AuroraTec™ rigid PVC compounds offer excellent dimensional stability and resistance to warping, making them ideal for stackable storage containers that must maintain their shape under load. Available in recyclable grade series to support sustainability initiatives.

Aurora Material Solutions - Our thermoplastics & polymers for storage & organization products require materials that combine impact resistance with lightweight design & stackability.

Aurora Material Solutions - Our thermoplastic & polymer formulations for bathroom environments demand materials that resist moisture, mold as well as chemical exposure from personal care products.

Bathroom & Personal Care Accessories

Bathroom environments demand materials that resist moisture, mold as well as chemical exposure from personal care products.

AuroraGuard™ PC compounds provide outstanding impact strength and moisture resistance for soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, shower caddies, and grooming tool housings.

AuroraFlex™ flexible PVC compounds can be formulated with biocide additives for antimicrobial protection in bathroom storage and personal care applications. Available from 35A to 95A Shore A durometer with excellent moisture resistance and easy-clean surfaces.

Consumer Goods & Lifestyle Products

Everyday consumer goods require materials that deliver durability, aesthetic appeal & cost-effectiveness.

AuroraGuard™ MABS (clear ABS) outperforms polystyrene, SAN, and PMMA for impact resistance while providing excellent clarity and processability for decorative accessories and lifestyle products.

AuroraFlex™ SBS and SEBS compounds offer multiple chemistries for high-performance durability and easy processing. Available from 10A to 50D durometer hardness with clear and oil-free grades for specialized houseware applications including soft-touch grips, container lids, and flexible components.

Helpful Resources for Housewares Manufacturers

FAQs

What are the best plastic materials for houseware manufacturing?

The best plastics for housewares depend on the specific application. For food-contact applications like kitchen utensils and storage containers, AuroraGuard™ PC and ABS compounds offer impact resistance, and dishwasher safety. For flexible applications like container lids and soft-touch grips, AuroraFlex™ TPE and flexible PVC provide durability with the right flexibility. For storage bins and organization products, AuroraGuard™ PC/ABS delivers impact strength and dimensional stability. Our technical team can help select the optimal material for your specific requirements.

Are Aurora’s plastic materials food-safe?

Yes, AuroraGuard™ PC compounds comply with NSF (National Sanitation Foundation), and REACH standards for food-contact applications. We offer custom formulations for applications requiring the highest food safety standards. Our materials are suitable for food storage containers, kitchen utensils, beverageware, and other food-contact housewares.

Can Aurora provide sustainable and recyclable plastic options?

Yes, Aurora offers multiple sustainable material options for houseware applications. AuroraGuard™ PC and PC/ABS compounds are available with recyclable content. Most AuroraFlex™ TPE formulations are recyclable and RoHS compliant. We also offer low-VOC and custom formulations that meet environmental regulations while maintaining high performance.
