HAT®SNAP and HAT®IN containers support diagnostic market

For diagnostic test, strips accuracy is paramout to ensure proper treatment of the patient. Clariant’s HAT® series of products provide a proper protection against moisture which is essential to maintain shelf life and accuracy of those moisture sensitive products, including test strips.

The HAT® SNAP solution provides easy-snapping and tamper-evident closure, with customized desiccants of silica gel, molecular sieve, or a combination of both, to help achieve desired kinetic ; while the HAT®IN solution, with Clariant’s Advanced Desiccant Polymer(ADP® ) Insert, allows additional volume inside container, and delivers minimal exposure of desiccant during products’ filling.

EQiusTM packets and canisters satisfy requirements for a constant humidity

Also showcased during CPhI China will be Clariant's EQ-PAK packets and EQ-CAN canisters, two specially engineered sorbents that can simultaneously act as both humectants (desorbers) and desiccants (adsorbers), thus maintaining a specified equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) inside product packaging. These products are critical in the storage of certain drugs that require a constant humidity

Branded desiccant solutions protect authenticity of nutraceuticals

Besides oxygen, moisture is another major cause for degradation of probiotics and other nutraceuticals. Clariant’s varied choices of branded desiccant solutions, such as the new desiccant sachet with a printed Swisse logo, help preserve the stability and shelf life of active ingredients in probiotics and dietary supplements, when inserted into product packagings during the filling process.

Visitors who are interested to learn more about Clariant’s innovative and tailored solutions for the pharmaceutical packaging industry may drop by the Clariant booth at N5D30, Hall N5 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre during the CPhI exhibition.
