Neopac have developed an outstanding dropper application for their Polyfoil barrier tubes.

Dropper systems are normally found in glass or plastic bottles. Because glass is fragile and plastic has minimal barrier properties, Neopac have developed a patented system which is unbreakable, convenient to use and provides optimum protection for sensitive liquids.

The size of the drops formed is always the same, ensuring consistent medicine dosage. The tube is suitable for both water- and oil-based solutions.

Advantages

• High barrier thanks to Polyfoil – better shelf life
• For sensitive products with low levels of preserving agents
• Easy-to-handle, unbreakable packaging
• Precise drop dispensing without reference to the pressure on the tube
• No overdosing of the medicine
• Minimal product residue when emptying
• Rip-off band for tamper-evidence
• For water- or oil-based liquids

Potential applications

• Ear drops
• Nose drops (physiological solution)
• Cough drops
• Medicines for children or toddlers
• Nutraceuticals (dietary supplements)
• Disinfectant solutions
• Phytotherapy
• Precise application of oils
• Colourings
• Veterinary medicines
