EVERTIS LAUNCHES EVERCARE™ BRAND FOR THE HEALTHCARE PACKAGING MARKET

-

Evertis launches Evercare™ brand, set to be a leading provider of specialty and innovative medical-gradefilms designed to provide superior performance and support regulatory compliance to the healthcare market. Evercare™ is built on over 65 years of trusted technical Evertis experience in developing PET and PETG films for regulated applications that meet sustainability credentials, and now compliant in meeting the rigorous needs of the healthcare industry.


Evercare™ sits in avertically integrated Group that delivers a unique value proposition to Healthcare customers in terms of innovation, sustainability and supply chain security. As film converters for packaging, Evertis is integrated with Selenis,a premium supplier of innovative copolyesters resins with solutions specifically developed, and certified for the medical value chain to further support patient safety. As a Group it fully understands and plays its part in circularity whilst reducing the carbon footprint of its products.


Evercare™ PET and PETG drop-in solutions offer performance and sustainability advantages when compared to other materials. Their films facilitate the thermoforming process, provide improved mechanical and optical properties, and have a better resistance to sterilization. Manufactured in strict compliance with GMP standards and support regulatory compliance needs, Evercare™ films are offered with declarations such as ISO10993, USP661.1, ISO11607, as well as change notification.

Gonzalo Lopez-Oleaga, Evertis Europe Deputy CEO said; “This is another key milestone in the journeyof our Group of businesses. As innovators and thought leaders in polyester-based materials we are now positioned to help healthcare companies meet their sustainability packaging goals, now, and into the future. Behind Evercare™ we have made large investments operationally, in technology and most importantly GMP manufacturing supported by full certifications to service this market”.


Similar to other industries, the healthcare packaging industry faces the challenges of improving sustainability. This is why the Evercare product range not only offers plug&play recyclable PET based solutions, but also two other sustainable options: bio-based and chemically recycled materials with up to 50% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. All of these options take advantage of vertical integration with Selenis, meeting the same quality and regulatory standards and representing a great opportunity to lower carbon footprint.


Casimiro Sacchetti, CSO Evertis Americas said; “It’s an exciting and unique offering for the Healthcare market. It’s the coming together of experience, deep technical knowledge underpinned by a truly integrated, vertical operational set-up from resin production to extrusion of medical-grade films.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:High and low shear rate changes in Rheology

-

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share If a relatively high Mw grade flows from thin to thick, as shown in the picture, and if the time needed to fill the thick section is way shorter than the average polymer relaxation time, the polymer will not be able to reach its higher viscosity (corresponding to higher thickness/lower shear-rate). I am assuming here the polymer reached equilibrium low viscosity in the thin section, say for instance because it is much longer. Any pressure prediction not accounting for transient rheology would then overpredict the pressure to fill.Of course the diverging flow will further complicate the situation and mess with the molecular orientation created in the thin section, but to what extent ? Since this is more of a reasonable "conjecture", don't take this for granted, and discuss or share your opinion in the comments. There are hundreds of Rheology papers on the "4:1 contraction flow". Not sure I have ever seen any on the..."1:4 expansio

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share : biobased content of polycarbonate diols

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share MCG increases biomass content of polycarbonate diols Mitsubishi Chemical Group (MCG) has introduced grades of its Benebiol biomass-based polycarbonate diols that have a higher biomass content. The product is primarily used in the manufacture of polyurethane resins for coatings in sectors such as automotive, furniture and outdoor products. It is also used in the production of artificial leather. Existing Benebiol grades had a bio-based content of 20-50%, but the new HSS and NLDS grades have a biomass content in excess of 80%. Some of its previous petroleum-derived grades have also been converted to biomass, as the NLS grades. This, the company said, allows it to offer bio-based grades of all its Benebiol products. The shift to biomass-based raw materials while maintaining high-quality functions will contribute to our customers’ efforts to achieve sustainable manufacturing. source:MCG/www.utech-polyurethane.com
