Seals in the pharmaceutical industry
The purity requirements of process and product within the pharmaceutical industry require sealing solutions which reliably avoid product contamination or catalytic changes, above and beyond their stability in media.
Freudenberg Process Seals has developed materials and seals especially for the pharmaceutical industry which both satisfy the challenging operating requirements similar to those of the chemical industry as well as simultaneously support highly hygienic processes.
In the pharmaceutical industry, products are synthesized from basic chemicals. In addition to that however, there are even more stringent requirements than those or technical products: This means that the basic chemicals have to be particularly pure so that no byproducts are produced in synthesis, ensuring that only the required pharmaceuticals are produced. Bearing this in mind, production generally runs in batches, so that should there be any quality problems, traceability from the raw materials supplier to the patient can be guaranteed. Seals are a constituent part of this process and their importance is not to be underestimated, as in some cases they are directly in contact with the media. And with the appropriate sealing technology, the risk of contamination and therefore cost and time intensive tracing can be effectively reduced.
Freudenberg Process Seals is effective
Our materials and seals therefore meet the most stringent purity requirements, ensuring that they can not be the cause of process contamination or even catalytic process changes during correct operation.
Thanks to our worldwide leading materials expertise and when taking into account our market know-how on hygienic processes in the food industry, we offer perfected solutions with FDA conformity according to CFR 177.2600, Animal derived ingredients free (ADIfree®) and in accordance with USP Class VI, as well as geometries and designs free of dead space for the sophisticated tasks the pharmaceutical industry faces. Integrated into a wide range of products for a multitude of applications and with cost-effective service and logistics provided.
