Our editor Laura Hughes caught up with three exhibitors who will be present at this year's Pharmapack event to find out about what the companies are exhibiting during the show.
Guido Heinen, key account manager – medical, Hexpol
“We’re looking forward to meeting contacts new and existing at Pharmapack 2020. At the show we’ll present the latest developments in the Mediprene family of TPEs at Hall 7.2, stand J26. Among the highlights will be several Mediprene TPE grades for solvent bonding applications. These TPE compounds achieve high bond strength when applying solvents such as cyclohexanone. They are available in hardnesses from 60 Shore A to 45 Shore D and can be further expanded based on application requirements. They are transparent, and the tubing grades also offer good kink resistance properties”.
Thomas Kostadinov, marketing manager healthcare EMEA, Covestro
“We are pleased to introduce two new product families: Low-Friction Makrolon polycarbonate, which enables lower device deployment forces while offering dimensional consistency and Makrolon glass-filled polycarbonate, for medical devices that demand superior and lasting strength. Both product families are biocompatible and are available globally. After a successful premiere in 2019, we are happy to return to Paris and welcome existing and new partners to our booth K46 to see how we are envisioning a brighter world for patients everywhere. Also don’t miss our healthcare expert Pierre Moulinie who will discuss polycarbonate innovations for next generation drug delivery devices in a workshop on Wednesday 5th, 14:00-14:40pm in room 725-727.”
Simon Poulter, speciality products director, Baltimore Innovations
“Baltimore Innovations will be launching their new Prontopacker desiccant dispenser at Pharmapack 2020. The machine takes current industry standards to the next level and compliments all the major bottling and flow-wrap production lines. This new high-speed unit has been developed over the past four years and Baltimore are so confident of its performance, that they are guaranteeing problem-free operation, backed-up by local servicing. Visitors will get the opportunity to see the Prontopacker live in-action on stand D42. Come along and have a look!”
