Multilayer container gives “effective protection"

Gerresheimer presented Duma Twist-Off Protect, a multilayer plastic container, at CPhI on Tuesday

The Duma Twist-Off Protect is a multilayer design injection blow moulding container which offers sensitive pharmaceuticals extra protection against moisture vapour and oxygen permeability.

Niels Düring, global executive vice president Plastic Packaging of Gerresheimer, said: “Many pharmaceuticals will be degraded caused by exposure to moisture vapor and oxygen. So these drugs need effective protection in the form of suitable packaging solutions.

“That’s why we have extended our established range of Duma-family products to include an additional product with improved barrier properties for enhanced and more reliable content protection.“

Oxygen Transmission Rate tests confirm that the container admits far lower levels of moisture vapour and oxygen than other standard solutions in the market.
