The Aclar® Rx laminates above are only two layers, saving production time and cost and achieving the same or better results than some five layer films.
Aclar® Rx laminates thermoform equally well with PVC, CPP or COC films
Aclar® Rx laminate films officially hold USA FDA's DMF for both the Aclar® and the Honeywell Health Care Lamination Plant.
Note: Aclar®
UltRx 6000* laminate above is currently

General
Information-Pharmaceutical Packaging:
Aclar®
Rx film is a clear,
non-flammable moisture barrier film widely used in today's
global pharmaceutical packaging industry.
Aclar®
Rx series film, which now
replaces the old 33C series co-polymer Aclar® films, is a
greatly improved 100% homopolymer PCTFE moisture barrier film
widely used in pharmaceutical blister (PTP) packaging in
combination with PVC or PP base films.
Aclar® Rx barrier films enjoy excellent MVTR with a MVTR range from 0.08-0.78 g/m2/24 hrs/40C/100 RH ASTM.
Aclar® laminate films are easy to thermoform and more environmentally friendly compared to PVdC/PVC laminate structures.
