Products & services
AluBa™ - Cold Form Foil
For the ultimate barrier blister with superior processability, Liveo Research’s AluBa™ multi-layered cold form foil offers total protection from water vapour, oxygen and light. AluBa™ is the perfect solution for highly sensitive pharmaceuticals. The lamination of PVC, Aluminum and OPA gives AluBa™ excellent formability and high malleability for deep draw blister cavities.
BlisBa™ - PVDC
Using advanced coating technology, BlisBa™ is an economical option for a variety of barrier blister applications. Liveo Research’s proprietary PVC and PET films, known for providing optimum thermoformability, are coated with a medium to high barrier PVDC coating. This coating technology allows for the elimination of the traditional PE sandwiched layer, even at higher PVDC coating weights. BlisBa™ DX, a two-layer barrier film, is available with four standard PVDC coating weights to meet all barrier requirements. If a PE layer is required, we supply BlisBa™ TX. Our proprietary film formulations make BlisBa easily thermoformable at high speeds and reduced temperatures for high performance blister lines. We also offer a rigid PVC film for more specific blister designs. BlisBa™ is available in a highly transparent, opaque white finish or various colors.
BlisForm™ MP - PP
BlisForm™ MP is the polypropylene (PP) alternative for pharmaceutical blister packaging with low to medium barrier requirements. The BlisForm™ MP film formulation has been developed to achieve optimum machinability and reliable lay-flat blistering. BlisForm™ MP allows to maintain transparency and efficiency on the lines. The low density of PP gives a higher yield, reducing plastic consumption. In addition, in combination with BlisLid™ MP, a One-Material Blister (OMB™) made of PP can be obtained, aiming at being recyclable.
BlisLid™ MP - PP
BlisLid™ MP is the perfect lidding film for BlisForm™ MP blisters to create a recycle-ready One-Material Blister (OMB™) made of polypropylene (PP). BlisLid™ MP is offered as a push-through (PT) solution, ensuring easy and safe opening for all types of blisters. Due to the technology used, the push-through force can be modified according to the customer’s needs. With this product, Liveo Research offers a complete One-Material Blister (OMB™) made of PP, guaranteeing a high quality and top class product.
BlisForm™ MA - APET
BlisForm™ MA is the APET alternative for pharmaceutical blister packs with a low barrier requirement. BlisForm™ MA is manufactured with our proprietary PET film formulation for optimum machinability and reliable layflat blisters. BlisForm™ MA allows to keep transparency and high efficiency on the lines. In addition, when combined with BlisLid™ MA a One-Material Blister (OMB™) made of APET is achieved.
BlisLid™ MA - APET
BlisLid™ MA is the perfect lidding for BlisForm™ MA blisters to achieve a recycle-ready One-Material Blister (OMB™). BlisLid™ MA PET offers both a peelable (PL) and a push-through (PT) option ensuring an easy and safe opening for all kinds of blisters. With this product Liveo Research is able to provide a full One-Material Blister (OMB™) made of PET ensuring high quality and top class service.
BlisBa™ PCP - COC
BlisBa™ PCP is the Cyclo-Olefin-Copolymere (COC) alternative for pharmaceutical blister packaging with medium to high barrier requirements. The BlisBa™ PCP film formulation has been developed to achieve optimum machinability and reliable lay-flat blistering. BlisBa™ PCP allows to maintain transparency and efficiency on the lines. The low density of COC gives a higher yield, reducing plastic consumption. In combination with BlisLid™ PCP, a One-Material Blister (OMB™) made of PP can be obtained, aiming at being recyclable.
AquaBa™ - PVDC
Liveo Research’s AquaBa™ pharmaceutical blister film provides a premium barrier without a premium price. AquaBa™ combines Liveo Research’s proprietary calendered PVC film, coated with Super B coating. This combination provides an ultra-high water vapor and oxygen barrier film that can be easily processed on all high performance blister lines. Coated onto our proprietary PVC film for optimum thermoforming, superior flex-crack resistance and layflat, our high barrier, cost effective AquaBa™ film is the perfect choice for sensitive pharmaceuticals in some of the world’s most extreme climatic conditions. Available in a triplex (TX) or sandwiched (SW) structure, AquaBa™ can be supplied in various opaque or transparent colors with improved UV-protection.
Aclar® - PCTFE
Liveo Research’s Aclar® laminate films with Liveo Research’s proprietary PVC and PET film formulations are an industry standard for high barrier, high performance blisters. Liveo Research’s special PVC formulation allows for increased machine speeds and low temperature forming while maintaining flat, non-curling profiles. Liveo Research’s Aclar® laminate films are crystal clear, biochemically inert, chemically stable, and free of plasticizers and stabilizers. Liveo Research offers Aclar® laminated thermoformable films for a wide variety of WVTR barrier requirements with different transparent and opaque colors plus enhanced UV-protection.
