Case Studies
Automatic line for filling and labelling drugs
Challenge: Customers required a sterile material that must be easy to clean and resistant to chemicals
Material used: Sustarin® C HG
R&D phase involving material approvals and sample development
Different variations of size
Sterile and fully disposable
No need for additional sterilisation or sanitisation procedures
ESD and anti-static products for tablet manufacturing
Challenge: Customer required anti-static materials for products involved in manufacture of Drugs from powder
Materials used: Polystone® G EL used for Glove Ports, Polystone® M AST used for chutes and tubes, Sustarin® C ESD used for manifolds, Fibracon® PTFE AS used for seals and flexible connections
ESD and AS materials dissipate static build up generated by the movement of the powders
Wide range of temeratures and cleaning agents
