Medicinal products, especially potent and important products like tablets and capsules need to be well safeguarded, especially if you want to maintain their efficacy, potency and texture throughout their shelf life, during the long durations of transportation and storage. Since these products mostly contain high purity medicinal value, they can change their efficacy and texture if there is excess or varying levels of moisture and humidity, which leads to clumping inside the capsules of the medicinal powders, change in texture and form of the tablets, growth of mold, mildew, etc. That is why the use of desiccant canister for medicine during the packaging is very important here.
The Role of Desiccant Canisters in Packaging of Tablets and Capsules
When you use a high quality canister with silica gel with the packaging of potent drugs like medicinal tablets and capsules, it can effectively adsorb high amounts of moisture, and humidity from its surroundings and keep the environment inside the packaging or the shipping container very dry, stable, and appropriate that is required. Since Silica gel is a non-toxic, inert, and safe adsorbent material, it does not interfere, change, or alter the chemical and potent composition of the medicinal tablets and capsules, and can be used even within close contact with the packaging of the products.
You can choose different adsorbent materials inside the canisters like Silica Gel, Activated Carbon, and Molecular Sieve, according to your packaging needs, the type of product you are packaging, and the duration of the cargo or storage. The compact containers or desiccant canister for HDPE bottle that contain these adsorbent materials are highly effective, and protect your cargo from moisture damage such as container rain, spoilage, mold growth, and even damage to its composition or structure that may make the tablets and capsules unfit for consumption.
The Different Types and Sizes Of Desiccant Canister Available
In the packaging of pharmaceutical tablets and capsules, you can use different types of canisters and canister sizes as per the size of your packaging, and the duration of the transportation and storage. Here are the different types of canisters that are filled with different desiccants available.
Silica Gel Canisters: The silica gel canister for HDPE bottle helps adsorb high amounts of moisture from the packaging and storage of pharmaceutical products such as tablets and capsules. Since Silica gel is a highly porous material it can efficiently absorb moisture from the surrounding air, to create and maintain a dry environment within the packaging. silica gel desiccant canisters are available in various sizes, such as 0.5g, 1g, 2g, and 3g, so you can choose the right size based on your specific packaging and shipping needs. These canisters are also compliant with all the standard regulations and compliances of the pharma industry.
Activated Carbon Canisters: The canisters filled with Activated carbon are can absorb both moisture and odors, and that’s why they are an excellent choice for packaging sensitive tablets and capsules. They also have a highly porous structure that allows them to trap excess and hold moisture effectively, and they can also help in neutralizing any unpleasant smells and odors, which are common during storage in damp places, that could affect the product's quality. The canisters are available in sizes ranging from 0.5g to 3g, and can be used in the packaging, or cargo storage of potent capsules and tablets.
Molecular Sieve Canisters: The moisture control Molecular Sieve canisters are advanced desiccants that offer better moisture control for tablets and capsules. They absorb moisture selectively, based on molecule size, allowing other gases to pass through, and this feature helps keep pharmaceuticals in their proper form and in good condition by preventing damage from humidity, moisture, contamination, dust, heat, etc. The canister with Molecular Sieve is available in various sizes, including 0.5g, 1g, 2g, and 3g, so you can choose as per your packaging and storage needs.
If you want to protect and safeguard the potent, useful, and important capsules and tablets from the damage caused by excess moisture, humidity, heat, contamination, oxygen, dust, etc. you should use premium quality desiccant canisters from Sorbead India.
