Pebax^® Resins are extensively used in the medical industry, particularly in medical delivery catheters. Due to their intrinsic flexibility (no plasticizers), good touch feel, excellent processability, superior torque transference, resistance to softening in the body, Pebax^® Resin makes an excellent choice for the medical instrument field. These grades of Pebax^® Resin are sterilizable with various methods, RF weldable and have a USP class VI clearance.

In addition, Pebax^® Resins can be used for certain types of medical bandages offering great flexibility and stretching as well as superior breathability properties. Pebax^® Resin has been used in surgical garments, sheeting, mattress covers etc. particularly due to the high breathability of the material without any porosity.

• Hygiene films

• In the hygiene market, disposable products have replaced traditional products in many areas, such as operating clothes, baby diaper films, incontinence diaper films and feminine hygiene products. In this market, innovation is continuous. There is always a demand for products that are more comfortable, quieter, and with a textile feel.

  Hygiene films made of Lotryl™ Resins are the right answer to these demands. In the case of polyethylene, cast film process with an embossed chill roll is needed to produce films having improved touch properties and better noise performance. This process requires a high capital investment. Lotryl™ Resin only requires a blown film extrusion unit and allows the production of high quality films for both touch and noise properties. In addition, Lotryl™ Resin films allow improved sealability.
