Raven Industries, Inc. announced that its Engineered Films division has introduced a new BioFlex I-Series plastic film product line to assist with the urgent global need for personal protection equipment (PPE).

Raven BioFlex films are Berry Amendment compliant (USC, Title 10, Section 2533a) and contain premium-quality, high-strength polymer resins formulated to be used in the manufacturing of single-use, disposable medical isolation gowns. These films are 100 percent latex free and are designed to aid in the protection of healthcare professionals and patients from cross infection in clinical and laboratory settings. BioFlex films provide excellent fluid resistance and prevent physical contact with infectious liquid and solid materials.

BioFlex I-Series is formulated to meet the following requirements for production of disposable medical isolation gowns:

• Berry Amendment compliant, “Made in the USA”
• ISO/ANSI/AAMI PB70 Level 1, 2 and 3 protection standards
• Non-sensitizing and non-irritating per ANSI/AAMI 10993-10

Anthony Schmidt, VP and General Manager of Raven Engineered Films, said:

“The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create uncertainty and unprecedented challenges. We want to do our part to help solve those great challenges by fulfilling the urgent need for domestically-produced PPE materials. On behalf of everyone at Raven, we are incredibly grateful to all frontline workers serving our communities and caring for those in need. We are proud to provide support through our U.S. based manufacturing resources as we all work together towards solutions.”
