RIGID PVC FILM MANUFACTURE FOR PHARMACEUTICALS BLISTER PACKAGING
[EIRI/EDPR/1533] J.C. 327
INTRODUCTION
Plastic films (PVC) have got wide uses including for garments and saree packaging. Polyvinyl chloride (P.V.C.) is one of if not the largest single volume plastics material in general use in the world. It is potentially one of the lowest cost materials. The French chemist Regnault first discovered P.V.C. in 1835 and it was initially marketed commercially in 1827. P.V.C. has achieved this market leadership because of its good physical properties, its compounding versatility for a wide variety of applications, its low cost, and processing case. These desirable properties include self extinguishing characteristics, water, chemical and abrasion resistance, good strength properties and a complete range of colours. The compounds range from soft flexible films, to rigid, high strength products. Plasticizers lubricants, fillers and stabilizers are used to produce this versatility and it possible to make a compound with a right balance of properties for almost any application. P.V.C. products will melt but will not burn and good weather ability has been achieved by compounding.
There are various theories on compounding of P.V.C. but the PVC processor especially in small scale sector in India because of lack of availability and high price of sophisticated equipments instruments testing facilities trained technical personnel, raw materials looks forward to something practical which wood benefit him in knowing the best possible and most economical method of PVC compounding.
Compounding process includes (i) formulation of compound according to the properties desired (ii) Palletizing. The palletizing process is done either by rotary knife cutter or granulator. There are heavy duty and light duty machines, the former for such scrap as extrusion and injection machine purging and waste and the latter for spures and runners, films upholstery material, etc. Small machines are available to be kept by the side of injection presses, extruders etc., and the scrap is used as it is made. It has the advantage of continued use with no scrap, no contamination, no bagging and no transport.
P.V.C. is consumed for manufacture of a vast varieties of products. Products are usually made by extrusion, injection rotational, slush, transfer compression and blow moulding calendering, thermoforming, fluid bed coating, rotocasting and foaming procedures.
For the present project report's point of view restriction in made to cover the manufacture of rigid PVC film for pharmaceuticals blister packaging.
As PVC has been put into O.G.L. groups items the basic raw material PVC can be imported without much constraints therefore raw materials crisis will not also be much in future.
