Tekni-Films' global standard will offer the following features:

PVC-free Medical grade plastic film for IV-solutions offering high transparency. Suitable for multi-compartment bags with peelable seal.

Transparent Polyolefin Based Flexible Film for Medical and Pharmaceutical Fluids

Tekni-Films and Colorite Europe Ltd. have jointly developed a range of polyolefin based compounds and a specific extrusion technology to produce cost effective glass clear autoclavable flexible sheet film for medical applications such as for instance IV and dialysis solution bags: TEKNIFLEX® MED. Tekni-Plex Europe NV positions the film as superior in terms of appearance over current PP based sheet film. The clarity is as good as high-end polyamides in the skin layer, hence making TEKNIFLEX® MED film cost attractive.

Tekniflex MED is particularly suitable for the production of IV-bags, in combination with port tubes made of compatible compounds with the film.

High barrier packaging will improve drug product stability and increase shelf life.

FLEXIBLE HIGH BARRIER FILMS FOR LIQUIDS AND SOLVENTS

Tekni-Films has developed a new series of flexible, transparent films (can be sterilized)  suitable for a wide range of demanding Form Fill Seal applications, pouches, thermoformable containers or even patch applications. . PCTFE has proven to be an extreme barrier to solvents, preservatives, perfumes, etc. On top, PCTFE resists attack of most chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and many solvents.

ALUMINUM BLISTER LIDDING FOILS

Tekni-Plex offers a wide range of blister lidding foils. We carry standard push-through aluminum foils, paper/foil and polyester/foil structures for peelable or permanent seal, as well as laminates designed for child-resistant (CR) blister packaging.
