Reliance® crepe paper
Crepe paper for sterilization wrap, tray liner and overwrap made with more than 97% of cellulosic fibers and wet strength agents. This technology has excellent barrier properties with moisture absorption capacity.
Reliance® crepe paper meets all requirements for safe and reliable wrapping, combining excellent sterility maintenance and bacterial barrier. The different colors and basis weights can accommodate diverse sterile barrier systems (SBS) requirements.
- Best in Class bacterial barrier
- Helps to prevent wet-packs
- Cost-effective wrapping solution
Reliance® wetlaid nonwoven
The wetlaid nonwoven technology for Sterile Barrier Systems (SBS) is ideal for the packaging of medical devices requiring higher resistance, thanks to its composition of cellulose and synthetic fibers. The softer and stronger cellulose-based material provides physical protection to trays, maintaining surgical instruments sterility up to the point of use.
Reliance® wetlaid nonwovens, composed of cellulose, synthetic binder and PET fibers, create the best-in-class tortuous path for excellent sterility maintenance. Thanks to its composition, this technology is softer and stronger, allowing to better meet end users requirements.
Reliance® wetlaid nonwovens, available in two colors and three basis weights, are micrexed for increased drapeability and comfort.
- Excellent bacterial barrier
- Helps to prevent wet-packs
- Soft and strong
- Low lint
Reliance® SMS
SMS is composed of three meltblown layers of microscopic fibers, delivering a tortuous path for consistent bacteriological barrier and sterility maintenance. This technology is strong and durable, with low lint and higher barrier.
Ahlstrom-Munksjö Reliance® SMS (Spunbond Meltblown Spunbond) is 100% polypropylene and treated to resist charge build-up. It does not contain cellulose or synthetic binder and its composition makes this technology especially suitable for the most demanding uses, both for inner and outer wraps.
Reliance® SMS is available in two colors and six basis weights to satisfy different user requirements.
- Excellent bacterial barrier
- Liquid repellent and antistatic
- High strength to avoid rips, tears or punctures
- Drapeability
