Features

  • Bondable to sealing substrates: Butyl rubber & other elastomers
  • Conforms to complex shapes
  • Surface energy modifications/wettability
  • Function as effective barrier films between drug and closure
  • Chemically inert –no contamination
  • Excellent thermal stability – wide operating temperatures
  • Suitable for lyophilization
  • Superior release properties

Benefits

  • Safe containment and delivery
  • Customised solutions for simple to complex geometries
  • Maintain purity and shelf life to minimise recalls
  • Reduced defects and improved yields
  • Stoppers don’t stick during freeze drying or heat sterilization increasing yields
  • Contents will not stick to the sealing device
  • Suitable seal of syringe fluid

Versiv PTFE Films for Pharma Closures and Cap Liners

Used as cap liners, stoppers and plunger laminates, Versiv high performance films are used in the pharmaceutical industry in next generation drug containers and delivery systems.  

They provide a barrier to minimize interaction between the drug and the closure therefore maintaining purity, shelf life, and minimising risk of recalls. Our fluoropolymer films are inherently inert and will not contaminate the drug or sample in any way.

Versiv films can be molded together with rubber plungers and stoppers.

For pharma closure applications, Versiv high performance films are used because they are uniquely bondable to several sealing substrates such as butyl rubber and other elastomers. Our films conform to complex shapes therefore reducing the manufacturing defect rate.  The excellent thermal stability and operating temperature range make them ideal for drug containers that must undergo lyophilization (freeze drying) and heat sterilization because stoppers will not stick.

In cap liner applications, our films act as high performance barrier films preventing contents from coming in contact with or sticking to the sealing device.
