RxLOY olefin alloys
Finally, an alternative to PVC for medical applications
Ferro RxLOY polyolefin alloys are dramatic new alternatived to PVC. They offer the medical packaging industry and health care institutions an array of advantages, not only in the environmental aspect of medical products, but in user benefits of the products, as well. The broad spectrum of RxLOY compounds varies in heat resistance, chemical resistance and toughness, and are available for both rigid and low durometer applications. They feature excellent clarity, good impact and chemical resistance,and are suitable for oriented containers exhibiting good balance between stiffness, impact and barrier. RxLOY olefin alloys are:
- Non-hazardous in their manufacture
- Non-hazardous in their use by health care providers
- Non-hazardous in their disposal
What Are RxLOY Olefin Alloys?
They are specially formulated polyolefin alloys which have gained commercial acceptance in a variety of medical packaging applications. These range from containers to components---and they are currently under evaluation for a variety of other critical care and contact applications. RxLOY compounds comply with all USP Class VI and FDA food additive regulations, as well as the stringent toxological requirements supportive of pre-filled IV containers.
