Purell comes to North America: What it means for healthcare
Purell Comes to North America: LYB Expands its Trusted Healthcare Solutions
For decades, the Purell portfolio from LYB has been a trusted choice across Europe's healthcare sector, supplying safe, reliable and high-quality products for critical applications, including medical devices and drug packaging. Now, in response to North America's evolving healthcare needs, LYB has introduced the Purell portfolio to North America — an important milestone that expands local access to a portfolio long valued in Europe for its consistency, performance and regulatory readiness.
In a November 2025 episode of the LYB Podcast, host Deepi Sidhu spoke with Simon Foster, Industry Marketing Manager at LyondellBasell, about what the North American launch means for healthcare customers. Simon explained that the Purell brand, built over more than two decades in Europe, combines medical-grade polyolefins with a comprehensive service model designed specifically for the healthcare industry.
Beyond product performance, the Purell Service Concept supports customer needs for consistency, reliability and traceability through robust logistics systems, global change-notification practices and documentation aligned with international regulatory standards. The goal, Simon noted, is to help customers confidently navigate stringent industry expectations while maintaining operational continuity.
Simon also highlighted the versatility of the Purell range, which includes high- and low-density polyethylene and polypropylene grades engineered for use across a wide variety of manufacturing methods and sterilization options. Early customer response to the North American launch has been enthusiastic, reflecting the value of the Purell line's industry-focused support. Looking ahead, Simon is energized by the opportunity for LYB to bring Purell polymers to more healthcare manufacturers and continue expanding the portfolio to meet evolving needs across the region.
