Bormioli Rocco single-dose systems: barrier effect increased by 45%

(SANEPR.com) May 11, 2009 -- Bormioli Rocco has chosen Vitafoods International as the backdrop for revealing the solution to a problem that has frustrated manufacturers and institutions alike in recent months: improving the safety of single-dose systems by protecting them from the ingress of moisture, which causes powdered content to cake and reduces its effectiveness.

At the Geneva-based exhibition, the international flagship event for the nutraceutical industry, the Plastics Division is presenting a single-dose system which guarantees a 40-45% improvement in moisture barrier properties, in addition to improved oxygen barrier performance. These breakthrough results have been certified by tests and analyses performed by experts at CSI, a specialist laboratory for product certification and quality assurance, in accordance with the ASTM E96/E96M-05 standard test method.
Furthermore, the materials used comply with European Pharmacopoeia specifications.

In addition to its extremely high barrier performance, this pack requires no modifications to existing filling lines, an advantage for manufacturers who do not have to invest resources in additional plant or machinery.

The same importance given to packaging quality and manufacturers’ requirements is also reserved for end users, who can now benefit from a safer and more functional product with an appealing design, without changing their consumption habits.

From 5 to 7 May the Plastics Division will be waiting for you at stand 2221 in the Palaexpo exhibition centre, ready to demonstrate this innovative single-dose system with senior-friendly key and many other products, including tablet containers, PET bottles, samples and PET vials for trichological applications.
