EVA was found to be an excellent solution for TPN bags.
EVA offered the ability to have high flexibility without having to incorporate plasticizers.
The simplicity of the molecular architecture enabled said flexibility by increasing the content of vinyl acetate comonomer
The higher VA content, e.g. 18 to 28 percent, also provides excellent transparency
Film of high quality was possible due to EVA’s excellent rheology Of additional importance was EVA’s ability to be welded for construction of the bags
For IV nutrition bags, EVA provides excellent biocompatibility as measured by USP Class VI testing
