Wayne, Pa. (January 30, 2018) — Tekni-Films, a Tekni-Plex business unit specializing in flexible and rigid materials for medical device packaging, will be discussing commercialization inroads for its copolyester film line at MD&M West, February 6-8, Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, Calif., booth 2027.
The TekniMD® PX film series is a drop-in, cost-effective replacement to PETG for thermoformed medical tray packaging.
“We have seen the development pipeline increase two-fold over a year ago, with activity both in the United States and Europe. The material is gaining traction globally in a number of sterile barrier tray applications whose companies want a cost-effective alternative to PETG for products such as orthopedic devices, pre-filled syringes and infusion assemblies and tubing,” explained Melissa Green, senior director, marketing, Tekni-Films.
TekniMD® PX films also are being specified for non-sterile totes and retainers that are used for work-in-progress transfers between different company facilities. Additionally, the PX film line offers a wider processing window than PETG and bears recycling code #1.
“We also have several trials in the middle of stability testing. We expect many of those to be commercialized when that testing is concluded,” Green said.
Tekni-Films also will be displaying at MD&M West its ultra-high barrier PVDC coating and a wide variety of other multilayer packaging structures that deliver the stringent oxygen and water vapor barrier properties necessary to protect pharmaceutical and medical device products.
