Water-Soluble Dissolvable Bags for Infection Control

Water-soluble packaging is the simplest way to take direct contact out of a dirty job.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do water-soluble bags work?

Dissolvable bags are made from PVOH film that dissolves in water at the rated temperature. Bin liners and flat bags dissolve at 50°C, singlet bags at 60°C, and hot-water or cytotoxic bags at 70°C, so contents go straight into the wash or process without direct handling.

How long do dissolvable bags last in storage?

Stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture, PVOH bags have a shelf life of 5 years or more and share the same long-term storage characteristics as conventional LDPE and HDPE film, so they do not degrade with age.

Where are dissolvable bags used?

They suit hospital and aged care laundries, laboratories and commercial operations that need hands-free handling of soiled linen and contained waste.
