Single-Use Bioprocess Containers
PVC is a common plastic-type, especially within consumer products and life-saving applications such as tubing and containers, IV sets, surgical products, fluid bags (especially blood bags), and many other products.
Traditional radio frequency (RF) heat sealing has been limited to the use of polymers with high dielectric loss factors such as PVC. However, Vonco Products owns a technology, ecoGenesis™, that causes low-loss polymers to respond to RF heat sealing just like PVC but without the addition of expensive or toxic additives. This means it is the ideal plastics welding technology solution for companies that wish to replace PVC or polyurethane (PU) and reduce their carbon footprint within their flexible plastics packaging and manufacturing.
Eco-Friendly, PVC Replacement Plastics Welding
ecoGenesis™ provides numerous options for PVC and PU replacement with eco-friendly materials such as polyethylene and polypropylene. Not only is it eco-friendly, but the process also expands the types of polymers possible and produces a consistent uniform, high-quality weld that can promote cost reduction and enhance the long-term performance of products. Moreover, it facilitates the RF heat sealing of nearly any low-loss polymer in film, foam, and fabric layers.
When it comes to biopharma and medical device, many OEMS have very specific specifications for films for their innovative products. Qualities like specific barriers, puncture resistance, gas and liquid barriers, specific mechanical properties, optical properties, and transparency.
