Plastic Sterile Ziplock Bags: Sterile Packaging Solutions for the Medical and Food Industries Россия
Plastic Sterilization Self-Sealing Bags are specially designed packaging materials mainly used in medical, laboratory and food industries to ensure the quality and hygiene of products. The following is a detailed description of Plastic Sterilization Self-Sealing Bags:
1. Material and Structure
Plastic sterilized self-sealing bags are usually made of the following materials:
- Polyethylene (PE): Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) or Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) with good flexibility and sealing properties.
- Polypropylene (PP): provides additional strength and chemical resistance.
- Composite films: e.g. PE+CPP with good moisture resistance, air tightness and heat sealing properties.
These materials are usually made through a special process to ensure the sealing and sterilization of the bag. The design of the bag includes at least two side and end seals with self-sealing adhesive strips that must adhere to the paper and film during sealing to ensure an effective seal.
2. Functions and applications
The main function of plastic sterilized self-sealing bags is to protect the contents of the package from bacterial and microbial contamination. They have a wide range of applications in the following fields:
- Medical device packaging: to ensure the sterility of medical devices during transportation and storage.
- Pharmaceutical packaging: to protect drugs from contamination and extend the shelf life of drugs.
- Food Packaging: Used for sealing and packaging of food, preventing food from deteriorating and prolonging the shelf life of food.
3. Sterilization process
The sterilization process of plastic sterilized self-sealing bags usually involves the following steps:
- Sterilant injection: add a sterilizing agent, such as ethylene oxide, into the bag.
- Sealing: After the items are placed in the bag, the bag is sealed and a clear indicator strip or label is used to prove that the bag has been sterilized.
- Autoclaving: The bag and the sterilizing agent are autoclaved at a certain temperature and pressure to achieve sterilization.
4. Indication and monitoring
Plastic sterilized self-sealing bags are usually equipped with indicator strips or labels that change during the sterilization process to prove that the bag has been sterilized. For example, color changing indicator blocks can change color during the sterilization process to provide visual confirmation.
5. Environmentally Friendly and Biodegradable
As environmental awareness increases, biodegradable self-sealing bags are becoming more and more important. These bags are made from materials such as PLA (polylactic acid), PBAT (polybutylene terephthalate), PHA (polyhydroxy fatty acid ester), etc., which can be naturally decomposed under certain conditions to reduce the impact on the environment.
6. Performance and safety
Plastic sterilization self-sealing bags must meet certain industry standards, including breaking strength requirements and pull-out testing. These products must have proper adhesion when closed so that the self-sealing sterilization bags remain sealed until they are ready to be opened.
In summary, plastic sterilized self-sealing pouches are an efficient, convenient and safe packaging method for use in a number of areas, particularly in the medical and food industries, to ensure hygiene and safety of products and to extend shelf life.
