Tekni-Films Introduces Super-Barrier Coated Thermoformable Film for Blister Packs
A new super barrier-coated (SBC) thermoformable film for pharmaceutical blister packs recently launched by Tekni-Films (tekni-plex.com/tekni-films), a Tekni-Plex business. The SBC 240 is a performance and improved-cost alternative for 4- and 6-mil PCTFE and cold formed foil in thermoformable blister applications. The triplex structure is ideal for applications such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, probiotics and other related products.
In addition to its clear properties, SBC 240 doesn’t require stiffening ribs, which can be used to improve the ability of PCTFE to lie flat, nor the oversized blister wells created by cold forming. This means that pharmaceutical companies can use a smaller blister card to contain the same number of tablets or capsules, or increase the count on a same-sized card.
