What it's for

Many cohesive cold-seal coatings are based on natural rubber latex. This coating is not made with natural rubber latex. Ask us for the manufacturer's statement for your file.
At 40 gsm (25 lb), it is a light web for products such as gloves, dressings, and syringes. Sterilization compatibility depends on your process, so ask us before you validate.

FAQ
The paper carries a cohesive coating. Coated surfaces stick to each other when pressed together, with no heat. Because no heat is needed, it suits contents that should not be exposed to heat.
Some cold-seal coatings are made with natural rubber latex, which can cause allergic reactions in patients and staff. This paper's cohesive coating is not made with natural rubber latex, and we can share the manufacturer's statement for your file.
Typical applications include gloves, dressings and syringes. The paper is 40 gsm (25 lb). If you are not sure whether cold seal or heat seal suits your product, send us the details and we will help you decide.
We have not yet confirmed compatibility for EtO, gamma or e-beam, so ask us before you plan a cycle. Steam is not recommended. Tell us your method and we will find out what the material supports. Always validate in your own sterilization cycle.
