One of the biggest issues facing packaging today is that of compatibility. With so many new materials on the market, buyers are often faced with the task of figuring out whether a specific material will be able to cope with they're products, and in the pharmaceutical and medical sectors, this is obviously critical. The material of choice has traditionally been glass thanks to its near utter neutrality, though its weight as well as other factors has made many companies switch to other materials of late.

Bormioli Rocco's Delta  vials gives companies several reasons to stick with glass.

The Delta vial, which takes advantage of the company's innovative manufacturing processes, has managed to create moulded glass vials for injectables that shift market standards upward in terms of performance. The Delta concept was developed specifically to fulfil the needs of drugs manufacturers with regard to productivity and safety, creating perfect packaging for injectable pharmaceuticals and freeze-dried products.

In terms of safety Delta vials, in Type I Borosilicate moulded glass, are excellent.  They prevent also delamination phenomenal  thanks to the highest chemical durability, making the vials as safe as can be. In fact, moulded glass is recommended by the US FDA to prevent flaking. The vials are made with optimum glass distribution designed to withstand the extreme conditions of freeze-drying.

With a 20mm ISO neck that's been optimized to reduce stopper pop-out, companies are guaranteed a perfect seal. The vials perform flawlessly when integrated into filling lines thanks to improved stability and mechanical resistance.

As for presentation, the company's new moulding techniques, the vials offer more flexibility in terms of shape, with a wide range of sizes from 10ml to 100ml. Thanks to excellent glass distribution, the vials are aesthetically superior and weigh approximately 30% less than traditional glass vials, resulting in monetary savings on material and transportation costs and a reduction on environmental impact.
