Oliver's proprietary Xhale™ adhesive application process enables medical device manufacturers to save money with reduced EtO sterilization cycles and faster set-up and run speeds. Xhale™ offers greater porosity; superior anchorage; superior humidity and condensation resistance; and no yellowing over time from exposure to UV light.

Xhale™ adhesive technology uses a hot melt coating process to apply 100% solids to a substrate in a uniform dot pattern. Dots merge during sealing, providing a caulked effect for verification of a strong seal.
Xhale's cohesive separation allows for clean, smooth peelability

Water-based adhesive

- Extraordinary porosity: breathability approaching uncoated Tyvek®.
- Accelerated EtO sterilization cycles due to optimized porosity.
- Exceptional anchorage for lids, eliminating the risk of adhesive flaking onto the medical device. Water-based adhesives can flake during transportation, creating the potential for product contamination.
- Mistake-proof verification of a strong seal provided when the dots from Oliver's proprietary DotCoat™ technology merge. With water-based adhesives, the misleading appearance of good seal quality can provide a false sense of security at low temperatures.
- Engineered dot height, to form a continuous, evenly coated surface, with precisely the correct amount of adhesive.
- A unique cohesive separation formulation that allows for clean, smooth peelability.
- Superior humidity and condensation resistance compared to water-based adhesives, which can re-emulsify and un-bond in the presence of moisture.
- No yellowing over time from exposure to UV light, thereby maintaining the high-quality appearance of your device packaging.
- Longer packaging equipment life compared to using standard water-based adhesives that require much more pressure than Xhale™ and cause undue wear of sealing equipment.
Only Oliver's Xhale™ adhesive removes the risk of product contamination and helps you make an excellent impression. Choose Xhale™ for all your medical device packaging needs. Only from Oliver.
