 "Clariant aims to tap pharma industry with packaging solutions")
Swiss specialty chemical company is aiming to expand its presence in the Indian pharmaceutical industry with its innovative range of packaging solutions. As a part of this strategy, Clariant showcased latest packaging solutions at CPhI India 2014, the pharmaceutical ingredients exhibition held from December 2-4, 2014 at Mumbai, which can support the pharmaceutical industry to maintain drug stability and extend shelf life through its polymer and desiccant packaging solutions.
Clariant Healthcare Packaging, which has been present in India for over a decade, offers a range of active pharmaceutical packaging with all the major generic companies on its customer list.
Clariant Healthcare Packaging designs and manufactures controlled atmosphere packaging that helps to protect healthcare products from humidity and oxygen. Its broad portfolio includes industry-leading desiccant canisters and packets; tubes and desiccant stoppers; IDC (integrated desiccant closure); EQ-Pak humidity regulators; Tubairless semi-solid dispenser; and PharmaKeep oxygen scavengers.
Desiccant canisters from Clariant are used in the pharmaceutical industry for their ability to be inserted at high rates of speed on high velocity packaging lines. The systems used to ensure quality of the desiccant canisters by electronic vision inspection thus ensuring relevant specification parameters are being met for each canister.
Swiss company also manufactures a wide range of desiccant packets in strip and single form. Unlike other desiccant packets that are marketed to be used on specific insertion machines, Continu-strip packets from Clariant are versatile and can be used with any packet insertion equipment on the market with minimal modifications.
“As the pharmaceutical industry is increasingly looking to India to manufacture and source high-quality, cost-effective products, the show is an important venue for Clariant businesses focused on healthcare to meet with customers and stakeholders,” said Mark Florez, product manager, BL Medical Specialties, Clariant Corp USA.
Clariant was represented by BL Medical Specialties, BL Medical Masterbatches, and BU Industrial & Consumer Specialties at CPhI India. “This was a great opportunity to gain the pulse of the market.
