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.

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.
