DESICCANT BAGS – PHARMACEUTICAL APPLICATIONS

Desiccant Bags for Bulk Protection of Healthcare Products

Desiccant Bags are larger Sorbents that absorb moisture to maintain stability of healthcare products, such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, APIs, excipients, reagents and other healthcare-related materials.

Bags are ideal for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, diagnostic and medical devices that are susceptible to either chemical or physical degradation due to moisture. Silica gel (silicone dioxide) and molecular sieve (synthetic zeolite) are offered depending on the moisture adsorption attributes required for any given application.

These are often used for finished products where a larger amount of desiccant is required compared to desiccant packets and canisters, as well as in bulk packaging for storage, shipping, or work-in-process material.

Clariant offers desiccant bags that are fully compliant with US FDA and EU regulations for use in pharmaceutical applications and that comply with US Pharmacopeia USP <670> standards for pharmaceutical desiccants. Bags are produced in production facilities certified under ISO 15378:2011 GMP requirements for the manufacture of packaging for pharmaceuticals.
