Mono rigid films

Thermoformable mono rigid films for medical packaging

Pentamed® mono rigid films are medical-grade thermoforming films for trays, clamshells, blisters and other rigid medical device packs. The range includes PETG, APET, PVC, HIPS, PP and TRITAN™ formulations to meet different clarity, forming, impact, sealing and sterilisation requirements.
Options are available for deep-draw thermoforming, sealing to a wide range of lidding materials and efficient processing on standard form-fill-seal equipment. Softer-cutting grades can also reduce knife wear and support increased line uptime.

Applications:​   

  • Medical device trays 
  • Clamshells 
  • Blisters
  • Custom thermoformed packages
  • Face shields
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Benefits:​  

  • Brilliantly clear​
  • Wide range of sterilisation options (EtO, gamma, E-beam and steam)​
  • Sealable to a full range of lidding materials​
  • Excellent deep-draw thermoforming characteristics​
  • No silicone branching​
  • Higher yields, more good parts per pound/kilogram, reduced costs​
  • Softer cutting formulations cause less knife wear and increased up-time​
  • High efficiency on standard form/fill/seal machinery​
  • FDA compliant for direct food contact with registered Medical Device Master File (MAF #240) 

Polymers:​  

  • PETG​
  • APET​
  • PVC​
  • HIPS​
  • PP
  • ​ TRITAN™

PETG and APET

PETG offers excellent clarity and thermoformability for demanding medical packs. APET provides good clarity and is available with an internal de-nest coating for efficient tray handling.

HIPS, PP and PVC

HIPS is available with or without impact modifier; PP is available in homopolymer or copolymer structures; PVC offers clarity, dimensional stability and options with moderate impact and UV inhibitor.
They are single-polymer or single-material-family rigid films used to thermoform trays, blisters, clamshells and other medical device packs.
The range includes PETG, APET, PVC, HIPS, PP and TRITAN™ formulations, with grade availability depending on the required pack performance and manufacturing location.
Applications include medical device trays, clamshells, blisters, face shields and other thermoformed packages for a range of healthcare products.
Selected grades are compatible with EtO, gamma, E-beam and steam sterilisation. The correct film should be selected and validated for the intended method.
kp offers grades designed to seal to a range of lidding materials. Compatibility, seal strength and processing windows should be confirmed for the chosen film and lid combination.
Selected grades comply with ISO 11607-1, ISO 10993-5 and applicable FDA and EU direct food-contact regulations. Product-specific documentation should be requested.
