A typical polyethylene for this type of application is a LDPE (low density PE) of the Purell portfolio from Lyondell‧Basell, Rotterdam, Netherlands, a selection of products which are strictly manufactured according to “good manufacturing practices” (GMP) and commercialized following a very stringent medical protocol that is in accordance with IS...

...are achieved through use of Basell’s own ACP (Advanced Cascade Process) technology, which can be used to affect the polymer’s structure, e.g. high crystallinity (Fig. 3). For the medical field, Basell has developed the PE-HD grades Purell PE 3020H and Purell PE 2420F. Intended for use as blown film, these films comply with the US and European Pharmacopia, the European Directive for medical products as well as the DMF (Drug Master File), which is required for approval in the United States. This i...

Basell is an exception since as early as 2003 this company was the first large polyolefin manufacturer to develop its own brand for the medical and pharmaceutical market (type: Purell). The products in this specialty range guarantee customers not only a two year formulation consistency, but also fulfill important legislative requirements such as the European Pharmacopoeia and thus simplify the approval of the end product for the ...

Examples of PE-LD grades that are tailored specifically to the requirements in a specialty area include the products Purell PE 2420 F and Purell PE 3020H intended for blown film applications and which were added around the middle of 2007 to Basell’s existing line of injection molding and blow molding resins (Title photo). These products comply with Basell’s so-called "...

Increasing calls are being voiced here for material grades that not only offer especially high purity but also particular quality assurance and customized service packages. The Purell polyolefins from Basell, for example, are not only replacing glass that can readily fracture, PVC (plasticizer problem) and polystyrene copolymers (residual styrene components) but also meet users’ needs through the valuable assurance given by Basell that the composi...

For example, our innovative PP Stretchene (Fig. 3) and Clyrell resins can be used instead of conventional materials such as PET and glass. Our Purell resins product portfolio (Fig. 4) is aimed at medical and pharmaceutical customers in particular. And for the fast-growing markets for drinking water pipes, we have developed a new polyethylene called Hostalen CRP 100 resins. Tests have shown that it offers...

A product that is used in the extremely demanding pharmaceutical market is also in the current line-up (Purell ACP 6031 D for small blow molded articles). The Hostalen ACP process is not limited only to optimization of blow molding grades: On the contrary, it is so flexible that it can be employed to further improve grades for film, piping products...

LyondellBasell is the first of the major PE-HD manufacturers to offer a special product range for the pharmaceutical and medical sector, with its Purell grades, which meet all the aforementioned conditions and have been available since 2003. In addition, the company regularly has its materials’ compliance with the requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and E...

With this move, Sabic and Ineos are following in the footsteps of European market leader, LyondellBasell, which, with its Purell range, has for a long time been supplying PE-LD grades with a high purity and a constant quality (guaranteed over the long term) for the production of blow moldings. Test certificates for all the Purell grades show their compliance wit...

The limits of the properties of PE-LD are being expanded with the new Purell PE 3420F. With a density of only 0.933 g/cm3, the material also exhibits easy processing and high resistance to sterilization temperatures. The polyethylene also offers the possibility of a reduction in wall thicknesses. These advantages benefit in part...

In both cases, a critical aspect is to safeguard homogenous filling of the moldings as well as constant filling times.

There certainly are examples of popular PE types that are difficult to produce in world-scale facilities trimmed for high throughput – for instance the LDPE versions Lupolen 1800U and Purell PE 3420F from LyondellBasell. Thanks to their density and viscosity, they are well suited for small, flexible production plants, making them good examples of specialities that are hardly threatened by competition from the Middle East in the foreseeable future.

Special PP grades for the medical sector, such as the Purell family from LyondellBasell or the Bormed products from Borealis have already benefited in the past from the recognized purity. For the latter, this applies particularly to the replacement of flexible PVC in film and bag applications. Soft PP products such as B...
