Materials Are A Key Part of the Process
Not all films are applicable for use in contact with pharmaceutical compounds. Leachables, unacceptable levels of occlusions and gels, and foreign particulates are just some of the concerns that a recommendation to use any "big bag" can results in future issues.
Understanding this, we develop films specifically for current and emerging pharmaceutical and manufacturing needs.
ArmorFlex® - 104
Our flagship film, we created the ArmorFlex ™ 104 film in 1998 when working with Eli Lilly to develop the DoverPac System. Off the shelf films were not available to meet key process requirements like incendivity to 1x1011Ω at one half of the normal minimum ignition energy with a shelf life of 18 months.
Although we are creating new films, like ArmorFlex ™ 110, to meet the emerging EU requirements, we will continue to carry ArmorFlex ™ 104 to support applications where stability testing/materials of contact approvals have been completed on existing drug products.
