Eastar copolyester 6763 is a clear, amorphous material. Because of its clarity, toughness, and good melt strength at processing temperatures, it is useful in a variety of processing techniques including film and sheet extrusion. Exceptional protection with superior functionality in processing and fabrication make sheet of Eastar copolyester 6763 the material of choice for rigid medical packaging. Free of ortho-phthalate plasticizers, bisphenol-A, and halogens, sheet of Eastar copolyester 6763 is the solution for companies who supply globally. Eastar coplyester 6763 provides: - Superior, long-term clarity provides easy identification of instruments
- Excellent puncture resistance and impact toughness ensure package integrity
- Excellent ability to be subjected to several methods of sterilization, providing flexibility and security to the device manufacturer
- Excellent optical and physical property stability post sterilization
- Good melt strength offers wide processing latitude and ease in thermoforming
Cleaning Rigid Medical Trays The production and trimming of rigid medical trays made from sheet of Eastar™ copolyester 6763 results in little or no dust or particulates. After the thermoformed trays are made, they are put in polybags. The polybags of trays are then placed in protective boxes for storage or shipment. As long as the polybags in the protective boxes are intact and no outside contamination is evident, the thermoformer or medical device manufacturer should not need to clean the tray prior to packaging a device and sealing the package. If contamination is found on the medical trays and cleaning is required, use a lint-free towel. Blowing the tray out with filtered, deionized, non-lubricated air is also acceptable, assuming this does not stir up dust from the surrounding area. Using alcohol, which could cause crazing, or water, which would not evaporate, is not recommended. |
