How Orbia is making a difference:
PVC and medical vinyls
We provide materials for applications that range from basic, affordable infrastructure enhancements enabled by PVC, to the hyper-specified production of medical equipment like IV bags, tubes, oxygen masks, and more.
Lowering the environmental burden for patients with respiratory issues
Koura is a world leader in the production of crucial aerosol gas used to deliver life-saving medication in asthma inhalers and other similar medical devices. Zephex® 152a dramatically reduces the carbon footprint of metered-dose inhalers while making them cheaper and easier to acquire. Chiesi, the international research-focused pharmaceuticals and healthcare group, signed a commercial agreement to use Zephex® 152a for product development and clinical trials in 2019. In 2022, a new production facility was opened to allow pharmaceutical companies to meet commercial product timeframes.
