PET/rPET for Healthcare
PET inherently offers high clarity and good barrier properties which is essential for pharmaceutical packaging that has to provide great visibility of the content while protecting it. We offer colors and functional additives that enhance the processing and end-use properties of PET, ensuring high-performance and safe pharmaceutical packaging and products.
High-Temperature Polymers for Healthcare
In the healthcare industry, maintaining hygiene and safety through sterilization, disinfectants, and cleaning products, is paramount. Thus, materials used in healthcare applications must exhibit exceptional durability. We offer an extensive polysulfones color portfolio, designed to ensure the durable visual appeal of healthcare applications while providing the necessary chemical resistance.
Specialty Polyesters for Healthcare
Specialty Polyesters is a suitable material for sterile pharmaceutical packaging and disposable medical devices, medical equipment and drug delivery devices, offering both performance and aesthetics. Materials such as PBT and PC are commonly used due to their strength, great impact resistance, and proven performance in medical devices. We offer color and functional masterbatches to further customize these materials for use in healthcare applications.
