What is ACLAR film?

Aclar is a clear, poly-chloro-tri-fluoro-ethylene (PCTFE) pharmaceutical packaging film for blister packaging. With Aclar’s superior moisture barrier, your product is protected for worldwide distribution, including Zone 4 tropical locations.

What is aclar PVC?

Liveo Aclar. ® Liveo Research’s Aclar® laminate films with Liveo’s proprietary PVC film formulation are an industry standard for high barrier, high performance blisters. Liveo’s special PVC formulation allows for increased machine speeds and low temperature forming while maintaining flat, non-curling profiles.

Is aclar a plastic?

A flexible thermoplastic fluoropolymer film with high optical clarity and a smooth surface. ACLAR Film provides an oxygen barrier when flat embedding specimens for electron microscopy and light microscopy. It separates easily from epoxy and is chemically inert.

What is aclar material?

ACLAR® is crystal clear, biochemically inert, highly resistant to most chemicals and sterilizable by heat or radiation. ACLAR® is used widely in pharmaceutical, medical, sensitive electronics and military packaging. ACLAR® 33C is a copolymer film consisting primarily of chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE).

What is aclar used for?

The thermoformable barrier film comes in opaque and clear options. Traditionally, Aclar is used in pharmaceutical, medical, electronics, and military packaging. Aclar has been used to prepare sealed bags for low-oxygen level pest eradication.

How thick is Aclar 33C film?

What are the different types of Aclar® film?

There are four basic film types–the homopolymer ACLAR® Rx Series, the copolymers ACLAR® 22A and 33C and the new ACLAR® Cx. (Honeywell/Allied Signal). The chemical make-up of all ACLAR® products provide an exceptional moisture barrier.

What is the chemical make-up of Aclar®?

ACLAR® is made from fluorinated-chlorinated resins. There are four basic film types–the homopolymer ACLAR® Rx Series, the copolymers ACLAR® 22A and 33C and the new ACLAR® Cx. (Honeywell/Allied Signal). The chemical make-up of all ACLAR® products provide an exceptional moisture barrier.

Can Aclar ® be sterilized?

ACLAR ® can be sterilized. Transparent fluorinated-chlorinated thermoplastic which contains no volatile components Cells adhere to it readily and remain attached after fixation, dehydration and critical point drying or embedding Fluorescence microscopy possible since ACLAR ® exhibits no detectable autofluorescence
