AptarGroup, Inc., a leader in the development of cutting-edge drug and medical instrument protection, has introduced its latest addition to the diverse product line. A dual active material science technology that can provide a measure to control moisture and oxygen intrusion concurrently. The solution addresses two of the most critical degradation routes, leading to unstable, unsafe, and shortened shelf lives of sensitive products. The dual-action platform developed by Aptar CSP Technologies is a further development of the company's proprietary 3-Phase Activ-Polymer technology, allowing for a wider range of applications in pharmaceuticals, implantable systems, transdermal delivery systems, and other highly sensitive forms.

This innovation has arisen in response to a significant need in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, particularly in the complexity of drug formulations and the regulatory aspects of product stability. Environmental exposure of products that include oral solid dose (OSD) drugs, microarray patches, medical devices, and implantable mesh components places these products at a disadvantage. The new dual-active solution offered is a rapidly adaptive, stand-alone solution that protects products in multiple ways, not only preventing moisture but also preventing oxidation. This reduces the need for individual packaging solutions, as well as the complexity and multiple layers of protection that arise. It is designed to promote patient safety, deliver a longer shelf life, and achieve ideal product performance throughout the product development process from commercialization.

“This launch reflects years of development, engineering excellence, and a deep understanding of our customers’ most pressing stability challenges,” said Badre Hammond, Vice President of Commercial Operations and General Manager at Aptar CSP Technologies. “There has never been a singular, standalone active material aimed at protecting against both oxidation and moisture-related degradation at this level of precision across multiple platforms. We’re proud to offer a solution that is not only scientifically differentiated but can also be commercially validated.”

Such an innovation has tremendous ramifications for pharmaceutical and medical machinery as well. Aptar is the global leader in dosing, dispensing, and product protection across various sectors, including beauty, personal care, food, and beverage. Furthermore, Aptar is considering the future opportunities of using its technology in the close markets with its dual-active device.
