Perlen Packaging launches PVdC-based blister films

Perlen Packaging has entered the ultra-high barrier segment with PVdC-based blister films and launched PERLALUX – Ultra protect with highest water vapour and oxygen barrier properties.

The Swiss company’s latest innovation has succeeded in doubling the moisture and oxygen barrier again, using a multi-layer PVdC technology. The demands of the pharma industry on blister film barrier characteristics have increased substantially in recent years. The high barrier segment is growing at double digit percentages, driven by more complex molecular structures of new drugs, increased sales into tropical climate zones and the trend towards global distribution.

PERLALUX – Ultra protect films provide high transparency and can be processed on all standard blister lines with the same parameters as standard PVdC films, without the need of additional forming aids. The symmetrical structure can be sealed on both sides to the aluminium lid foil. The barrier layers in the middle give optimum protection and highest product safety. In comparison with PCTFE films, PERLALUX – Ultra protect impresses with its much higher oxygen barrier at equivalent moisture barrier and by its substantial cost advantages.
