Colorcon, a global leader in the development and supply of film coating systems, specialty excipients and functional packaging for the healthcare industries, is showcasing its newly expanded portfolio at the Pharmapack Europe trade show in Paris (January 24-25).
Recently, Colorcon acquired a new functional packaging business, a purchase that increases its capabilities in the healthcare market. Today, the company offers protection solutions for a wide range of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and diagnostics, including tablets, effervescent tablets, capsules, diagnostic kits and strips, medical devices, powders and probiotics.
One of the latest innovations is HAT®-B Handy Active Tube, an innovative packaging solution designed to effectively control moisture vapor transmission (MVTR), focusing on diagnostic applications where precision of use is critical. Specific application areas include diagnostic strips, dietary supplements such as probiotics, moisture-sensitive medications, and inhalation devices.
First, it incorporates an adjustable absorbent system, allowing healthcare product manufacturers to customize the amount of absorbent material based on their specific products. Additionally, the flip-top cap offers easy access and maintains an airtight seal to safeguard product integrity, with strategic placement of the desiccant at the base of the tube to ensure it remains closer to the reagent components of the test strips.
HAT®-B Handy Active Tube has also been designed to reduce the use of plastic, making it a sustainable option for the market.
Matthias Brommer, President and CEO of Functional Packaging at Colorcon, commented: “With the new additions to our portfolio, we are excited to reach Pharmapack with our expanded range and flexibility of solutions for the pharmaceutical industry. “We are also aware of the importance of offering more sustainable options, as the sector is eager to adopt more environmentally conscious solutions that benefit the planet and align with consumer expectations.”
HAT®-B Handy Active Tube will be presented at the Pharmapack Innovation Gallery, a dedicated forum where attendees can discover exhibitors and solutions that transcend the boundaries of medication packaging and delivery.
