The Role of Coated Rubber Stoppers
Coated rubber stoppers are more than just conventional rubber closures. They are engineered to perform specific functions that help maintain the quality of pharmaceutical products:
Medication Protection: The primary role of coated rubber stoppers is to protect medications from external contamination and chemical interactions. The coating acts as a barrier, preventing the rubber from coming into direct contact with the drug, thus reducing the risk of incompatibility.
Extractables Reduction: Coated rubber stoppers are designed to minimize the release of extractable substances into the medication. This reduction in extractables helps maintain the stability and safety of the pharmaceutical product.
Improved Sterility: Sterility is a critical factor in pharmaceutical packaging. Coated rubber stoppers undergo stringent sterilization processes, ensuring they do not introduce harmful microorganisms into the medication container.
