High-Performance Resins for Pharmaceutical and Medical Packaging
Advanced Solutions for Medical & Pharma Packaging
At Dow, we offer high-performance polymer options tailored for medical and pharmaceutical packaging. Our FDA-compliant medical packaging materials support critical applications — from blow-fill-seal containers and IV bags to blister packs and closures. With rigorous lot-to-lot consistency, biocompatibility, gamma stability, and regulatory documentation, we empower you to design safer, smarter, and more efficient packaging for healthcare applications.
Why choose Dow’s pharmaceutical and medical packaging solutions
Dow’s HEALTH+™ polymers are engineered for medical applications, offering global compliance with FDA, USP Class VI, EU pharmacopeia and inclusion in Drug Master Files (DMF) to streamline regulatory submissions.
Our medical packaging materials maintain integrity against aggressive pharmaceutical compounds and sterilization processes (e.g. gamma irradiation), offering safe and uncontaminated delivery.
Tie-layer solutions that promote strong adhesion to materials like nylon and EVOH, and sealant solutions that offer reliable bag sealing performance.
Dow supports material performance with global, secure supply, offering a 1-year notification of change (NOC) and 1-year right-to-buy for HEALTH+™ polymers to support long-term medical product stability.
Featured Applications
Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) Containers
DOW™ HEALTH+™ LDPE resins are engineered for BFS containers, offering clarity, flexibility, and squeezability for medical uses. They support automated aseptic filling and offer consistent lot-to-lot quality, DMF support, and global supply assurance.
Medical Fluid Bags
Our medical-grade polyethylene resins support mono- and multi-layer film structures. They offer mechanical stability, processability, regulatory compliance (USP, DMF), and secure supply for critical drug and nutrient delivery.
Single-Use Bioprocessing Bags
Designed for contact and tie layers in bioprocess films, Dow’s portfolio includes advanced contact resins and tie materials that support gamma stability, strong sealing, and adhesion to substrates like nylon and EVOH.
Medical & Pharma Tubing
Dow offers medical-grades that adhere to global standards and regulatory compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Medical packaging protects pharmaceuticals and medical devices from contamination and damage. It supports sterility, safety, and product integrity throughout production, transport, and storage. Dow’s Health+™ polymers offer durability, chemical resistance, and address strict healthcare regulations.
Packaging must protect product integrity, support patient safety, and meet strict regulations. Key needs include chemical compatibility, biocompatibility, barrier protection, sterilization resistance, mechanical strength, secure supply, and validated container-closure integrity.
Sterility depends on a validated sterile barrier system. Proper material choice, seal integrity, sterilization validation, and process controls help ensure the device remains sterile from production through use.
Medical packaging includes a vast variety of applications, such as IV and fluid bags and tubes, single-use bioprocessing bags, blister packs, Ostomy bags, and protective coverings. These may use mono- or multi-layer films made with Dow’s polyethylene, elastomers, and adhesives to provide strength, sealability, chemical resistance, and sterilization performance.
