Wound dressings

We offer a wide range of release liners that are suited for use on and to protect classic and technical dressings (hydrocolloid, hydrogel, alginate, hydrocellular).
Our cold seal packaging solutions allow for ethylene oxide sterilisation, quick processing and pressure sealing.
Our multilayer heat seal materials offer excellent barrier properties (steam, UV light, gas and grease) and can be sterilised using beta or gamma rays.
We offer peel-open packaging solutions for specific applications such as hydrogel or paraffin gauze dressings.

Pharmaceutical packaging

Our pharmaceutical packaging solutions for sachets and stick packs meet all current regulatory requirements. They ensure a good level of seal, even under difficult processing conditions. Their excellent barrier level (gas, steam, grease and UV light) guarantees the shelf life of the medication. We can help you choose the right material for your needs based on the dosage form (gel, spray-on, solid), seaming type and packaging line.
The complementary activities of our two production sites (Dax and Linnich) enable us to offer a complete range of multilayer paper-based materials for the pharmaceutical industry.

Medical devices

Medical devices such as electrodes, ostomy bags or surgical drapes require the use of release liners with good dimensional stability, free of any impurities, and with an appropriate level of release with regard to the adhesive used. We can help you choose the right substrate and silicone formula depending on the required properties.

Medical adhesive tapes

Our range of release liners for adhesive transfer and protection offers a large choice of release properties and coating technologies. Their characteristics remain stable after sterilisation.

Polyurethane films

Benefits of polyurethane films include high steam permeability and barrier properties against bacteria. They are used to manufacture medical devices. We offer a range of liners for use with direct PU coating, offering excellent surface qualities. They are well suited to die cutting.

Transdermal patches

Transdermal patches enable administration of a treatment via the skin. The extreme volatility of active ingredients requires a specific primary packaging solution. We also offer a range of release liners.
