MOSCOW (MRC) -- Plastics chemicals firm LyondellBasell has increased its healthcare portfolio with the introduction of two polypropylene grades, said Plasticsinpackaging.
Purell grade HP548N is said to offer improved rigidity and a potentially faster cycle time. It is set to be used for products such as vials, pill strips, medical devices, syringe plungers and rigid containers.
Meanwhile, the RP315M grade is claimed to offer an enhanced balance between mechanical and optical properties when used in the packaging of medical devices, cosmetics, flexible packaging, lab-ware and caps and closures for the pharmaceutical industry.
Rodney Fox, marketing manager of LyondellBasell Polypropylene Healthcare Europe, said: "The Purell family of grades offers products based on LyondellBasell’s pioneering resin and manufacturing technology developments. The new grades Purell HP548N and Purell RP315M not only extend our Purell product range for healthcare applications, but they also help us to address the specialised product needs of our customers."
These two grades are part of the Dutch business’ Purell Healthcare Service Concept, which has been set up to offer a consistency in the formulation, supply and compliance to regulatory requirements.
As it was informed earlier, in September 2015 LyondellBasell added the Moplen grade HP742U and HP743V to its range of polypropylene (PP) products.
