Why Peritone Health?
Low Calcium Formulation
Low calcium formulation is the preferred choice for nephrologists due to lower risk of hypercalcaemia.
Polypropylene (PP) Solution Bags
No leaching of Plastisizers (DEHP) into solution. Reduced hypertonicity.
Fully Integrated In-Line Manufacturing Process
From clean room condition and control of primary packaging material to filling process.
Large volume batch production
Increase homogeneity and reduce product variations.
The Greener Packaging Material
Peritone’s solution bags are packed in polypropylene (PP).
- There is clear evidence that PP is a safer, non-toxic and environmentally friendly alternative to plastics such as PVC.
- There are significant intrinsic differences between polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polypropylene (PP).
Polypropylene (PP) vs Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
A Brief Look at some environmental issues.
No Polypropylene (PP) Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) 1 Polypropylene is one of the most neutral plastics, containing only two elements: carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). PVC by comparison contains about 30% by weight, of the element Chlorine (Cl) in its basic structure. 2 Polypropylene sheet is manufactured from propylene monomer, a relatively safe gas, which is a waste by product of the petroleum industry that used to be burned off into the atmosphere contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. As a consequence, the more polypropylene used in products helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The monomer unit, which forms the building blocks of PVC, is toxic. There have been numerous studies of the negative health effects on workers exposed to PVC monomer. 3 Complete combustion of PP will generate only carbon dioxide and water. When PVC is incinerated or present in accidental fires it produces toxic by products such as dioxins, chlorocarbons and hydrochloric acid. 4 PP is much more tolerant to heat; even under extreme conditions it will only decompose to lower molecular weight paraffins, which are elementally compatible with the base material. PVC is intrinsically heat unstable and can even decompose during processing. 5 PP, the soft blend material gets the softness and flexibility from the actual molecular structure of the material, which is stable, rather than from any migratory additive. Flexible PVC and softness must be induced by the addition of a large amount of plasticisers, usually phthalates, at concentrations of 30 - 50%. These phthalates may have carcinogenic properties or affect endocrinic activity in humans. They do this by mimicking the female hormone oestrogen, causing biological imbalances in humans as well as other species. These plasticisers are mobile by nature, hence migratory. They leach out into the environment during long-term storage and into soil and aquifers after disposal. The 'mist', which accumulates on windscreens of cars containing PVC trim, is evidence of plasticiser migration. Other evidence of this instability may be seen where the print from a document migrates onto the PVC binder or file in which the document is stored. 6 There is neither lead nor other heavy metals used in the manufacture of PP sheet. PVC needs a large amount of lead to stabilise it. Lead is toxic both during the life cycle of a product and after its disposal. 7 Polypropylene is 100% recyclable. PVC is not recyclable to the same extent, firstly because of its intrinsic chemical composition and also because of the additives it contains.
