Polyethylene and Polypropylene Skin Tapes

Polyethylene films are commonly used in medical adhesive applications requiring lightweight materials, flexibility, and reliable adhesion. These films can provide a barrier against body fluids and bacteria while supporting secure placement and skin-friendly removal depending on the adhesive construction and application requirements.

Long-Lasting Skin Tapes You Can Trust

Polyethylene skin tapes are commonly used for bandage coverings and other skin-contact medical applications requiring durability and secure adhesion. Depending on the application requirements, different polyethylene film constructions may be selected to support wear time, flexibility, and skin compatibility.

Some applications may require lower adhesive tack materials to support sensitive skin, while others may require stronger adhesive performance and longer wear durations. A range of polyethylene film constructions are available depending on the intended medical application.

DermaMed’s polyethylene skin tapes can be used for fluid resistance and device attachment applications. We offer standard single-coated and double-coated polyethylene film tapes as well as a range of material constructions with varying substrate thicknesses, finishes, bond strengths, release times, and adhesive formulations.

DermaMed assists clients with identifying polyethylene film materials aligned with specific application requirements, including wearable devices, skin-contact products, and other medical adhesive applications. Whether using standard constructions or application-specific material combinations, our team supports a wide range of medical adhesive needs.
