Nutrition Container
Although bottle containers have been mainly used since the production of IV solution, plastic containers have appeared all over the world due to problems such as bottle weight and risk of damage. Plastic containers can be classified into PVC and Non-PVC. PVC is an infusion container material that is widely used worldwide because of its low cost and easy molding. However, DEHP, a plasticizer used to improve flexibility in the manufacturing process during molding, is a kind of environmental hormone, and risks in human body such as reproductive toxicity are emerging.
In addition, chloride of PVC has been found to make dioxin, a carcinogen when incinerated. In Korea and abroad, regulations have been made on PVC using phthalate plasticizers such as DEHP in IV solution containers.
Non-PVC is a general term for materials other than PVC. In the IV solution container, PP, PE or its composites are used, which has the advantages of being an environmentally friendly material, but requires high technical skills in processing. JW started the research of Non-PVC containers in the 1990s and developed its own technology for non-PVC IV solution containers, leading the advancement of domestic IV solution containers. In addition, JW has acquired the US FDA in 2003 and CFDA in China in 2004, and is actively engaged in overseas business such as exporting non-PVC IV solution film to China.
