Under the abbreviation Ph.Eur. 3.1.3 hides the European Pharmacopoeia, which in this section strictly regulates how a packaging material made of polyolefins must be designed so that it can be used safely and with low risk, for example in the filling of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) Since additives in a film are always viewed critically in this context – because of the danger of diffusing into the film – an antistatic film equipped with additives that is officially approved was a long-standing request from customers who have to fill highly sensitive materials in ATEX zones. With a new development together with a partner, Rhein-Plast has now been able to bridge the gap between explosion protection and maximum safety against contamination of the active ingredients. The film in Pharmagrade is available now including documentation, certificates and declarations.
