Benefits of Alfapac Polymer Films for Healthcare
Alfapac is a leading global supplier of precision engineered films. By having the leading physical structure and puncture resistance of the films which allow them to act as both liquid and viral barriers, shielding patients and staff from potentially harmful blood-borne pathogens. Important for use in hospitals, no plasticizers are used to mitigate or cause allergic reactions and the films can withstand autoclave sterilization temperatures and remain soft and flexible over time for extended shelf life. The materials inherent softness, breathability, and conformability allow them to stretch and recover for patient comfort. The films ease of fabrication allows for cost-efficient adhesion and slitting, resulting in reduced net cost. To provide added design flexibility, Alfapac offers carrier options for ease of handling very thin and flexible film or to achieve the best fit for the end-product and customer’s process.
