Specialty rigid films

High-performance and sealable films for medical packaging

Pentamed® specialty rigid films are designed for medical device packs that need enhanced forming, barrier or sealing performance. The range includes GAG-PET, PETG/PCTFE barrier structures and Pentamed® kpSealable® films for use with uncoated nonwoven HDPE lidding.

Use GAG-PET where improved thermoforming is required, PETG/PCTFE where moisture and gas barrier protection is needed, and kpSealable® where a built-in sealing layer can simplify the lidding structure and reduce conversion costs.
Pentamed® kpSealable®

Applications:​

Trays, clamshells, blisters, thermoformed package​


Products:​ 

GAG-PET (GAG)

GAG-PET combines copolyester outer layers with an APET core to improve thermoforming performance for rigid medical device packaging.

PETG/PCTFE​
PETG/PCTFE combines thermoforming performance with enhanced moisture and gas barrier protection for demanding medical device packaging applications.

Pentamed® kpSealable®

kpSealable® is a laminated APET or PETG film with an integrated sealing layer. It seals reliably to uncoated nonwoven HDPE lidstock, eliminating the need for a separately applied sealing lacquer.

Applications: ​

  • Trays and Blisters
  • Wound care kits
  • Syringes
  • Surgical kits
  • Catheters

Benefits:​

  • Eliminates the need for a sealing lacquer on nonwoven HDPE lidding
  • Process on existing equipment with no change to package design
  • Cost reduction by reducing conversion cost associated with coating nonwoven HDPE lidding
  • Reduced risk of fibers and particles
  • Improves permeability and reduces EtO cycle time
  • Compliant with applicable FDA and EU direct food contact regulations and relevant regulations of ISO 11607-1 and ISO 10993-5

Structure:

  • Laminated APET or PETG film with sealing layer

They are multi-layer or value-added film structures developed for medical packs requiring enhanced thermoforming, barrier or sealing performance.
GAG-PET is a coextruded structure with copolyester outer layers and an APET core, designed to provide improved thermoforming properties.
PETG/PCTFE is used for thermoformed medical device packs that require enhanced moisture and gas barrier protection.
kpSealable® is a laminated APET or PETG medical packaging film with an integrated sealing layer for use with uncoated nonwoven HDPE lidding.
kp states that kpSealable® can process on existing equipment without changing the package design. Validation is recommended for the selected film, lidding and sealing conditions.
Its integrated sealing layer removes the need for lacquer-coated lidding, reducing the conversion cost associated with coating nonwoven HDPE lid stock.
