PENTAPHARM® – MAXIMUM PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT SECURITY AND CUSTOMIZED PROTECTION

With Pentapharm® blister films kp offers the industry's most comprehensive range of pharmaceutical packaging films, including mono- and multi-layer barrier films. They are suitable for a broad range of applications, e.g. prescription products, OTC products, generics, physician samples and veterinary medicine.

Pentapharm® monolayer films are based on a diversified range of polymers, including PVC, PETG, APET, Barex® and PP. They are suitable for all kinds of blister packaging and are an excellent substrate for the production of laminated and coated films. They offer maximum efficiency on all current blister machinery.

The Pentapharm® barrier films programme provides a unique range of standard and customized polymer combinations and multilayer structures with different coatings, e.g. PVdC-coated Pentapharm® alfoil® polymer films, laminated Pentapharm® Aclar® films and Pentapharm® COC films. Combinations with other functional layers such as Barex® and EVOH are also available.

They offer outstanding barrier properties against moisture and gas as well as the highest optical-properties. Due to their excellent thermoformability they guarantee high efficiency-levels on all current packaging machinery. Amongst the latest innovations are Pentapharm® alfoil® SG, a PVdC barrier film with a low coefficient of friction and improved slip characteristics which leads to higher line performance, an enhanced capsule and tablet filling and a better optical appearance.

The barrier film Pentapharm® ACLAR® S03 is specially formulated for high productivity. It is ideal for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products that require strong moisture protection and an enhanced performance. The symmetrical structure improves the lay-flat property of the finished package, this way increasing productivity in blister packing operations on both packaging lines and end-use applications.

All Pentapharm® films are sealable with a wide range of heat-seal coatings. They are available from various kp production sites in all parts of the world, which gives utmost security of supply for identical blister films and service wherever our customers are located.

PENTAMED® – MAXIMUM MEDICAL DEVICE CLARITY AND PRODUCT PROTECTION

Pentamed® rigid films are based on the polymers APET, PETG, GAG-PET and Barex®. They are suitable for the production of any kind of trays and clamshells and offer a high efficiency on all standard form-fill-seal machinery. Due to their special formulation, they offer optimal optical properties, as well as exceptional strength and protection against any mechanical and environmental impact.

Pentamed® flexible films include co-extruded and laminated multilayer films based on PA / PE, PETP / PE and OPP / PE structures. They offer different barrier levels against oxygen and moisture as well as different sealing and peeling properties. They are suitable for flexible thermoforming applications, flow packs and pouch production, and as lidding material.

PENTAFOOD® – MAXIMUM FRESH AND PREPARED FOOD SAFETY AND SHELF APPEAL

The Pentafood® product range includes a full spectrum of rigid and flexible films which are based on the polymers PA, PE, PET, PVC, PP, PS and PLA amongst others.

Pentafood® films protect the packaged food against any kind of environmental impact and preserve its nutritional values and aromatic properties. At the same time, Pentafood® films help to maximize shelf appeal and support the differentiation of the food product at the POS, also through Klöckner Pentaplast's printing technology. In addition, Pentafood® films provide easy-opening, re-closable and heat-resistant features, fulfilling convenience requirements.

Due to their optimized processability, Pentafood® films help to increase the production efficiency along the value chain and support the environmental sustainability of the package.
