The latest in films and closure liners for pharmaceutical and medical device applications will be featured by Tekni-Plex business units at CPHI InnoPack, October 9-11, Madrid, stand 2C51.
The company’s Tekni-Films business unit will be highlighting its Flexapharm® ultra high-barrier PVDC SBC coating, which offers multiple barrier and economic attributes for pharmaceutical applications, as well as its Tekniflex® laminates using Aclar® films.
Tekni-Films will also be featuring TekniMD™ PX films, a series of proprietary high-performance, thermoformable copolyester films that provide an alternative to PETG for medical device packaging.

This includes the Tri-Seal F-217 product line which is European Pharmacopeia compliant and has a Drug Master File.
Also on display will be Luxe® seal closure liners. Innovative, foldable, easy peel Luxe® tabs offer a departure from traditional liners for a wide variety of healthcare products. Luxe® seal liners can be embossed with a logo or brand, or cold-foil stamped in a variety of colors.
Additionally, the company will be featuring low-density, monolayer expanded polyethylene materials, as well as ones laminated to a wide range of films for additional oxygen, water vapor and chemical barriers.
