Sep 23 2011 --- BNE films provide increased strength to ensure higher levels of transit protection, an essential requirement in the packaging of sharp objects. Renowned for their excellent thermoforming characteristics, BNE films show minimum reversion to enable effective product loading often required in the packaging of catheters.

Commenting on the comprehensive BNE range, Neil Hawkesford, Coextruded Films Product Manager at Amcor, said: “Our BNE films are an integral product within Amcor’s range of coextruded films used in medical device packaging. With a wide choice of film gauges ranging from 50 to 200 microns, BNE films are suitable for ethylene oxide sterilisation and can be used for a range of applications including the packaging of larger dressings and drapes. The material has a wide processing window to allow for efficient packaging lines, maintaining forming performance at higher speeds.”

Due to its unique structure, BNE typically seals to Amcor Direct Seal papers allowing for a cost effective, complete package. Other options are available to provide higher quality peel performance including Coated Tyvek and Grid Coated papers, all of which are available from Amcor. With over 35 years of packaging experience, Amcor’s technical personnel work closely with medical device and machine manufacturers to help ensure effective product selection.
