Single-use Bioprocessing Bags
Advanced Polymers for Single-Use Bioprocessing Bags
Our advanced polymers for single-use bioprocessing bags are designed for the unique needs of contact and tie layers in bioprocessing film structures. Quality, control and consistency are absolutely essential to the biopharma industry. The same holds true for the single-use bioprocessing bags used to develop and produce biopharmaceutical products.
Researchers and manufacturers need to know that their formulations are safe and secure, that processing will be clean and efficient and that the results will make it from the lab to consumers as quickly as possible. That's why our diverse portfolio of polymers are the highest quality, ideal for single-use bioprocessing bags.
High-Performance Contact Layers
Dow polymers offer purity, sealing strength, and durability for bioprocess containers, supporting safe, reliable production from development to scale-up.
HEALTH+™ polymers from Dow are engineered to address the rigorous demands of single-use bioprocessing contact layers. With exceptional purity and sealing properties, they help ensure bioprocessing and cell culture bags address the cleanliness standards essential for safe, high-quality biopharmaceutical production. HEALTH+™ Polymers from Dow address quality and consistency standards for pharmaceutical applications, and are specially designed and FDA-approved to help our customers check all the boxes.
Our portfolio, including ENGAGE™ Polyolefin Elastomers and AFFINITY™ Polyolefin Plastomers, support strong seals, abuse resistance, and consistent performance under sterilization. Manufacturers can rely on safe, stable materials designed to protect sensitive biologics throughout the process.
With BYNEL™ Adhesive Resins and ELVAX™ EVA Copolymers, manufacturers benefit from durable tie layers that bond with nylon, EVOH, and polyethylene. These materials offer toughness, puncture resistance, and flexibility to keep systems working reliably.
Strict medical application policy and dedicated regulatory team ensures our materials address global healthcare standards supporting both internal and external validation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Modern bioprocessing bags reduce cleaning and sterilization needs, lower cross-contamination risk, save time, and offer flexible scalability from lab to commercial production.
Critical properties for single-use bioprocessing bags include cleanliness, chemical resistance, toughness, flexibility, strong sealing, and compatibility with sterilization methods.
Multi-layer bioprocessing containers combine contact, tie, and barrier layers to maintain strength, help prevent leaks, and resist microbial ingress while withstanding sterilization.
By selecting high-purity polymers, minimizing additives, and validating performance through regulatory-aligned testing to address pharma standards, Dow helps ensure our bioprocessing bag materials and single use bag materials for pharmaceuticals adhere to strict purity standards for safe, high-quality biopharma production.
Proper gas permeability helps ensure balanced oxygen and CO₂ transfer, supporting enhanced metabolism in cell culture bags, viability, and consistent culture outcomes.
