FAQ's

Pharmaceutical glass packaging typically utilizes Type I, Type II, or Type III glass, which differ in their chemical composition and resistance to leaching. Type I glass, also known as borosilicate glass, is highly resistant to chemical attack and is suitable for packaging sensitive drugs. Type II glass, soda-lime-silica glass, offers good chemical resistance and is commonly used for non-parenteral applications. Type III glass, soda-lime glass, is less chemically resistant and is typically used for non-parenteral liquid formulations.

Glass packaging provides an ideal environment for pharmaceutical products by protecting them from external factors such as moisture, oxygen, and light, which can degrade the drugs potency and efficacy. Glass containers offer excellent barrier properties, preventing the ingress of contaminants and maintaining the stability of the drug formulation, thereby extending its shelf life.

Yes, glass packaging is well-suited for sterile pharmaceutical products, particularly injectable drugs and parenteral solutions. Glass containers can be sterilized using methods such as autoclaving, gamma irradiation, or ethylene oxide (EtO) gas sterilization, ensuring the integrity and sterility of the packaged product. The inert nature of glass minimizes the risk of leaching and contamination, making it a preferred choice for sterile drug packaging.
