Types of Plastics Used in Pharmaceuticals

Nowadays plastic is the reliable and most effective form of packaging for different industries and pharmaceutical domains. In the pharmaceutical sector, there are mainly two types of polymers used, thermoplastics and thermosets.

There is a difference between these two materials as thermoplastics can reheat and remolded and thermosets cannot.

The thermosets are generally used for products with seals as they have high structural integrity and higher heat resistance. It is also suitable as a protective layer for other packaging materials as closure or lids for glass and plastic packaging, pharmaceutical casings, and many more. The widely used thermoset plastics are melamine-formaldehyde, epoxy resins, and phenol-formaldehyde.

While thermoplastics used in a range of applications and are able to manufacture maximum quantity with faultless precision. It is suitable for manufacturing plastic containers. The famous thermoplastics are PVC or polyvinyl chloride, polypropylenes, polyethylene terephthalate, polyolefin.

Plastic Packaging in Pharmaceutical

There is multiple plastic packaging available for the pharmaceutical industry. These are:

• Medical Bottles
• Vials
• Blood Bags
• Inhalers
• Nebulizers
• Syringes

As these polymers come in direct contact with the medicines and biological agents have to follow the regulations from USFDA and other bodies. They follow the guidelines indicating the physiochemical and biological testing for polymers. These plastics must be chemical safe and guaranteed to use pharma products.

SMP offers sealable plastic containers that prevent foreign particles to contaminate the medicine in them. This is very important for liquids that have the risk of changing their chemical composition if they are exposed to air.
