applications where delamination is a concern.

ZEONEX®’s low surface energy and hydrophobic
nature contribute to very low protein binding,making it the ideal packaging material for
protein/peptide based drugs. Low surface energy
also ensures low wetting and higher drainability,
thus reducing the need for overﬁlls.
