The SUMILITE® VSL SERIES consists of highly moisture proof composite sheets comprising of a rigid PVC single layer sheet SUMILITE® VSS and PVDC (poly-vinylidene chloride).
They have the highest level of water vapor barrier properties and are used for packaging medicaments which require especially high moisture resistance, such as capsulated drugs, non-pyrazolone painkilling drugs and antibiotics.
