Le procédé du blister [...] est très employé pour deux types de produits : les petits objets présentés sur carton pour les linéaires des grandes surfaces d’une part, et les comprimés, gélules et pilules pharmaceutiques d’autre part. On peut partir dans les 2 cas, soit d’un matériau en bobine (type PVC), soit de formats pré-découpés. Après formage des coques, en continu ou en séquences, on effectue la dépose des produits, en manuel ou en automatique, puis la fermeture par scellage. Cette opération peut s’effectuer sur du carton, papier, aluminium ou feuille plastique enduits d’une couche de scellage. Cette dernière opération exploite, soit la chaleur associée à la pression, soit des procédés de chauffage par induction. 7, record 4, French, - conditionnement%20sous%20emballage%20coque

PETG, glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate, is a copolyester that is a clear amorphous thermoplastic. PETG sheet has high stiffness, hardness, and toughness as well as good impact strength. Unstressed PETG exhibits good resistance to dilute aqueous solutions of mineral acids, bases, salts, and soaps. PETG also has good resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, and a variety of oils. Halogenated hydrocarbons, low molecular weight ketones, and aromatic hydrocarbons dissolve or swell this plastic. PETG does not contain a UV inhibitor and it is not suggested for use in applications involving continuous long-term outdoor exposure. 6, record 6, English, - poly%28ethylene%20terephthalate%29%20glycol
