Alcan Packaging Plastic Launches New High-barrier Plastic Line

Alcan Global Pharmaceutical Packaging, part of the Rio Tinto Alca Packaging Division, launched a new high-barrier plastic production line called StabilitySolutionsTM. The development and production of the product was from Alcan Packaging Plastics, headquartered in Pennsauken, New Jersey.

“This is a groundbreaking product and is used in the pharmaceutical industry where high water vapor and oxygen barriers are needed,” said Michael Rubenstein, senior officer of development and innovation at Alcan Packaging. "StabilitySolutionsTM Drying and Stability SolutionsTM barriers utilize patent pending patent technology to ensure that customers' products will last for long-term effectiveness and provide patients with maximum benefit."

StabilitySolutionsTM Drying is a two-layer dryer for oral solids products that provides product protection and extended shelf life. This patent pending review technology enables the desiccant to be added to the contact layer between the product and the double-drier, which eliminates the use of dry bags or cans. Integrate the entire feature into the thickness of the bottle wall to increase injection efficiency, which can significantly reduce product costs.

The StabilitySolutionsTM barrier is a three-layer dryer for oral solids using an existing patent and pending patented technology to place EVOH (polyvinyl-vinyl alcohol) layers in two layers of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) layers. . This technology provides the pharmaceutical industry with the excellent oxygen barrier and reliable moisture barrier properties of HDPE.

“The StabilitySolutionsTM product line is proof of what we believe: Packaging can add value to our customers' products,” said Mike Schmitt, president of Alcan Global Pharmaceutical Packaging. “Our innovation efforts are always focused on the special needs of our customers. We distribute high-level customized products and work with customers to optimize and perfect products based on their individual product needs.”
