AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) used in simultaneous filling (BFS) applications exhibits high oxygen permeability, which is detrimental to medical applications such as BFS containers.

Method used

A container side wall made of a barrier composition comprising LDPE and a nucleating agent, specifically 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, with controlled properties to achieve low oxygen permeability.

Benefits of technology

The barrier composition achieves oxygen permeability of less than 1 cc-mil/100in²/day, suitable for medical applications like BFS containers.
