How to pay attention to the way the sterilization method is harmful to the packaging materials?

Release time: 2019-07-22


  For most medical device companies in China, it is known that sterilization is required when using aseptic packaging. There are many ways to sterilize, such as ethylene oxide, high pressure steam, radiation sterilization, etc. However, there is an inevitable problem that aseptic packaging will have some slight influence on the material due to physical or chemical reactions caused by sterilization while being sterilized.

  Anhui Kangcain Packaging (Anqing Xiaolongshan Plastics) here will give you a brief explanation of the impact of different sterilization methods on materials. I hope that the majority of medical device manufacturers have an understanding when choosing aseptic packaging. Oxygen ethane sterilization: For the performance of current aseptic packaging materials, the impact is very small, basically negligible, so it has become the most commonly used sterilization method.

  Radiation sterilization: For the great influence of polymer materials, aseptic packaging materials are required to have radiation resistance, and this is a destructive sterilization method. If the material quality is not up to standard, it is prone to degradation and yellowing and brittleness.

  Autoclaving: The impact on aseptic packaging materials is also very large. In particular, the microbial barrier properties of breathable fibrous materials will decrease after sterilization. If this sterilization method is selected, attention should be paid to the materials provided by the manufacturer. report.
