Stabilizers packaging applications

An elastomeric closure is a packaging component that is, or may be, in direct contact with a drug product. Elastomer selection for parenteral packaging principally involves consideration of chemical, physical, and biological properties, with emphasis on the stability profile of the drug/container system. Typical elastomeric closure compositions are listed in Tables 1 1. Although certain packaging applications frequently call to mind certain elastomer types, it is not feasible to prescribe specific... 

The demand of PET for packaging applications is growing fast. This fact is based on the outstanding and versatile properties of PET, such as tensile strength, toughness, dimensional stability, transparency and chemical resistance. The need... 

Hot blown plastic films usually do not possess sufficient orientation to be heat shrinkable at temperatures below 100°C. For certain shrink packaging applications low temperature shrinkage is essential and can be obtained by biaxial orientation below the melting point. Radiation crosslinking was found to facilitate orientation of these copolymers greatly because of the much greater bubble stability which results from crosslinking. 

We are confident that sometimes in the future suitable computational approaches and powerful hardwares will be available to predict D of additives, stabilizers, monomers, dyes and/or plasticizers in polymeric materials used in packaging applications. To evaluate, if such an endeavour may help to reduce the considerable volume and costs of experimental migration testings peformed nowadays, it is necessary to consider also the following aspects. 

Can be used for the stabilization of polyethylene for food and medical packaging applications. Can aid in melt flow and color control during processing.
