ETFE: New Materials for Medical Packaging

With the progress of science and technology, people have higher and higher standards for the storage and transportation of medical drugs. Some medical drugs contain complex ingredients, and their storage conditions are more stringent.
 
Most drugs may be corrosive ingredients, so the containers used to store them need to have good corrosion resistance, especially the bottle of bottled drugs, if the shape of the turbid performance is weak, it is likely to make the bottle seal failure during storage or transportation, leading to drug deterioration.
 
As a member of the fluoroplastic family, ETFE can be closely combined with rubber products, which is equivalent to wearing a multi-functional coat for rubber stopper, and auxiliary rubber stopper is applied in a variety of special environments.

Advantages of ETFE medical membrane

1. Strong chemical resistance

The chemical properties of ETFE are very prominent, and it is covered on the stopper of the medicine bottle. Its chemical properties can effectively isolate the chemical components contained in the medicine bottle, so as to protect the rubber from corrosion and always play a sealing role.
 
At the same time, ETFE can also resist external chemical components into the bottle, protect the safety of drugs, after a large number of inspection tests, ETFE can be compatible with more than 50 chemicals.
 
2. High tensile strength

ETFE flexible eye is tough and elastic, so it can be closely fitted with rubber products. Applied to the rubber bottle stopper, it plays a protective role at the same time, does not affect the elasticity and deformation ability of the rubber, and can play a sealing role together with the contraction and stretching of the rubber.
 
3. Excellent hydrophobic

The absorption rate of ETFE is very low, only 0.03%, and it is a hydrophobic material that cannot absorb water. This hydrophobic property makes the ETFE film not have any problems even if it is immersed in boiling water for a long time, greatly reducing the risk of moisture and providing strong protection for drug preservation.
 
4. Excellent self-cleaning

The surface of ETFE film has non-stick characteristics, oil, dust, etc. will only stay on the surface, and can be easily taken away under the flowing water without leaving traces, so as to protect the drug from impurity pollution and improve storage safety.
