Performance, reliability, and compliance are non-negotiables regarding medical packaging. Such packaging must ensure sterility, allow for ease of opening, and support safety across the supply chain—from the production floor to the point of care, all while using advanced protective coatings. That’s where Techni-Coat, Technipaq’s advanced coating solution, is at the forefront as a proven industry leader.
Technipaq is committed to designing high-performance packaging solutions that meet the ever-evolving needs of the healthcare and life sciences industries. With more than 40 years of experience and a reputation for precision and innovation, we continue to raise the bar in medical packaging, especially with our proprietary Techni-Coat technology. Our strong relationships with global coating suppliers enable us to offer a diverse range of high-quality technical coatings.
What Is Techni-Coat?
Techni-Coat is Technipaq’s proprietary heat-seal coating for Tyvek and papers that enhances the functionality of medical and healthcare packaging materials. It’s engineered for superior sealability and peelability, ensuring the sterile barrier remains intact until it’s time to access the product, and then opens cleanly and safely without fiber tear or particulate contamination.
Techni-Coat also has excellent seal integrity, safeguarding the packaging and remaining unaffected by various sterilization chemicals.
Unlike conventional coatings, Techni-Coat delivers optimal adhesion while maintaining breathability, making it ideal for packages that require sterilization via methods such as ethylene oxide (EO), gamma, or steam. Additionally, Techni-Coat employs advanced materials and surface treatment technology for high performance and durability.
