Clariant will exhibit its healthcare packaging and regional manufacturing information on stand #W5G26 at CPhI China, being held June 21 – 23 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre
Clariant Healthcare Packaging has introduced a range of standard desiccant packets made in its plant Dongguan, China, and targeted at both the regional Asia-Pacific market and global customers
The company said it creates and manufactures desiccants and other controlled-atmosphere packaging products, effectively combining sorbents with innovative features. Such packaging technologies help to protect pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and diagnostics from moisture and oxygen, the two major pathways to degradation.
Clariant Healthcare Packaging operates plants in Dongguan and Changshu, China. Most recently, the Dongguan plant, located in the Pearl River Delta region, launched a standard portfolio of desiccant packets targeted to both the regional Asia-Pacific market as well as global customers.
The range includes Sorb-it (silica gel) and Tri-Sorb (molecular sieve) desiccant packets, as well as Tyvek and Continu-Strip hole punch packets that feature a hole in every seal to optimise the desiccant insertion process, according to the company.
In Changshu the company manufactures standard and customised product solutions, including injection-molded active packaging technologies like tubes and desiccant stoppers and ADP (Advanced Desiccant Polymer) components.
Clariant Healthcare Packaging said it protects healthcare products by providing a full portfolio of controlled atmosphere packaging solutions that protect products from degradation and help maintain stability and integrity throughout shelf life. Its products include desiccants, oxygen scavengers, active container-closure systems and multilayer barrier packaging.
