Desiccant and pharmaceutical coil for packaging

Desiccant and pharmaceutical coil packaging for pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.

Shelf life&packaging optimisation – our technical applications team can analyse the package design, the barrier attributes of plastic and glass bottles, the humidity load in the package and the type and amount of desiccant to ensure adequate desiccant to achieve product quality for the duration of the required shelf life.

effervescent packaging

Desiccant for pharmaceutical application&pharmaceutical coil cotton/rayon/polyester desiccant insert.

Desiccants are hygroscopic substance that remove moisture from its surrounding.

pharmaceutical coil and desiccant

The principle of desiccant is that absorbent type water into desiccant.desiccant remove water from the air space by single laery&multi-layer adsorbption:it depends on dorce of attraction(between adsorbent and adsorbate)pore size of desiccant.

Reason for desiccant use:

First, protect from corrosion, mold mildew grow.

Second, pervent from tablets stickness

Third, pervent from hydrol ysis of drug.

Fourth, to prevent new drug and effervescent tablet during packaging.

different desiccant

List of common desiccant:silica gel,indicating silica gels, molecular sieves, desiccant clay(montmorillonite clay), calcium oxide.

the main desiccant is that silica gel(SIO2)

amorphous micro-porous structure.

high surface area(around 800ms/g)

non-corrosive, nontoxic nature

US FDA approved for use in food and drug packaging.
