Single-use Bioprocessing Bags

Advanced Polymers for Single-use Bioprocessing Bags

Our advanced polymers for single-use bioprocessing bags are designed for the unique needs of contact and tie layers in bioprocessing film structures. Quality, control and consistency are absolutely essential to the biopharma industry. The same holds true for the single-use bioprocessing bags used to develop and produce biopharmaceutical products.

Researchers and manufacturers need to know that their formulations are safe and secure, that processing will be clean and efficient and that the results will make it from the lab to consumers as quickly as possible. That's why our diverse portfolio of polymers are the highest quality, ideal for single-use bioprocessing bags.  

Multi-layer Film Structure to Address Bioprocessing Bag Challenges

Decades of material science expertise and multi-layer film structure development allow us to offer polymers that address the challenges of bioprocessing bags from the inside out:

  • Advanced contact layer resins optimized for cleanliness and excellent sealing properties
  • A broad range of tie layer materials for adhesion to nylon and ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), as well as many other substrates
  • DOW™ HEALTH+™ offerings for critical layers of the structure
  • Globally available products to simplify regional development
  • Gamma irradiation stability
AFFINITY™ Polyolefin Plastomers (POPs)

Offering advanced sealant performance along with exceptional clarity, gloss and abuse resistance for complex film structures.

            

ENGAGE™ HEALTH+™ Polyolefin Elastomers (POEs)

Combine excellent toughness, flexibility and resilience with the high levels of cleanliness and sealability needed for biopharmaceutical film applications.

Contact Layer
BYNEL™ Adhesive Resins

Helping produce strong, functional bonds with polyethylene and a wide range of other substrates, including nylon and ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH).

ELVAX™ Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) Copolymers

Featuring low temperature sealing, flexibility, puncture resistance and more for excellent performance as tie layers.
