Tekni-Plex will be showcasing its line of medical device films, adhesive and extrusion laminations, high-performance coated Tyvek and coated paper rollstock and lidding material at MD&M West.
For thermoformable rigid medical device tray applications, Tekni-Plex will be showing its TekniMD PXA structure which is a lamination of its proprietary PX film and Aclar which is suitable for products requiring an enhanced moisture barrier. TekniMD COC.PG, a PETG/COC/PETG coextrusion is also suitable for thermoformable medical device applications. Both TekniMD films structures can be sterilised using gamma, ethylene oxide or e-beam and are available in clear, white or blue tint.
Tekni-Plex aims to deliver materials with optimal breathability for fast ethylene oxide sterilisation cycles, versatility (seals to a wide variety of flexible and rigid films), clean peels and robust barriers. Coated Tyvek options also aim to offer exceptional tear strength and puncture resistance - up to eight times stronger than medical-grade papers, ensuring that the material is suitable for class II and class III medical device applications. High-performance coated paper structures offer a cost-effective option, making them ideal for high-volume applications.
Tekni-Plex also manufactures custom extrusion or adhesive laminations to suit a specific packaging application. Both coated Tyvek and coated paper structures can be sealed to Tekni-Plex’s PX films providing a total package solution.
Tekni-Plex will be displaying high-performance thermoformable films on booth 3019 at MD&M West from 11th to 13th February in Anaheim Convention Center.
