Shelf Stability and Safety

Pharmaceutical Packaging

With demands for longer shelf life and content protection, pharmaceutical packaging must deliver high performance and consumer safety before and during use. Packaging that protects against ultraviolet (UV) light and moisture can help extend the shelf life while contributing to more accurate dosing.

Highlights

  • Masterbatch colorants and special effects to provide shelf appeal and product protection in rigid containers and closures
  • Compliant amber colorants that can offer protection from certain wavelengths in PET vials, bottles, and other packaging
  • White colorants for polyolefin containers and closures pre-tested to USP, EP, and ISO protocols
  • Functional additives to deliver UV protection, slip/torque reduction, oxidation protection, improved clarity, and more
  • Pre-tested color and additive bio-based polymer solutions to reduce product carbon footprint
  • TPEs with desirable flexibility, low modulus, and soft touch properties for ease of use and excellent resealability
