Why Blow-Molded Plastics Are Ideal For the Pharmaceutical Industry
Posted By admin / 19th Jun, 2017
Plastics have become such a normal part of daily life that we hardly think about them anymore. At VI Plastics, we’re constantly working to provide the best blow-molded plastics for a variety of different industries. Blow-molded plastics are essential to many of the customers we work with, and maybe none more so than those in the pharmaceutical industry.
In the blow-molding process, air pressure is used to inflate softened plastic into the shape of a mold. The mold is then removed and you’re left with a seamless, plastic container. The process can be used for everything from water bottles to automotive parts and everything in between. In fact, you use blow-molded plastics almost every day without thinking about it.
The pharmaceutical industry certainly does need to think about it though. If you’ve ever been to a pharmacy to fill a prescription, then you understand the industry’s need for plastic containers. Blow-molded plastics can be used for pill bottles, but they’re also essential to other operations in the pharmaceutical industry.
Chemicals, serums, and medicines all have to be stored safely somewhere and they all need proper containers for that storage. Blow molding provides an attractive answer to those needs with durable, seamless containers that can resist permeation, leakage, and discoloration.
For pharmaceutical companies working on expensive medications and treatments, there isn’t any room for error when it comes to the chemicals and medicines that they use every day. Blow molding is the best option for cost-effective and safe storage of everything they use on a daily basis.
Blow molding isn’t just for storage, but disposal as well. Facilities that can handle larger orders for blow molding, like ours in San Antonio, can produce drums and other receptacles for hazardous materials and waste that may be produced as byproducts in the pharmaceutical industry. Again, it’s important to know that your containers can handle what’s being put into them and blow molded plastics from a trusted manufacturer can put your mind at ease.
Our products are made of high-quality plastics that can be used for everything from drums to disposable sharps containers.
The great thing about these products is that they aren’t one-size-fits all. We build our large-scale products to fit our customer’s exact specifications. Our process takes customers from concept to fulfillment with experienced guidance at each step along the way. We bring concepts to life with CAD drawings and 3D models, manage the complex mold and tooling design, all leading to the manufacturing and assembly of a custom blow-molded product. That way, your plastic products are specified to your precise needs.Despite what the average patient may see when they pick up their prescription at the pharmacy, the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t only use little, identical pill bottles and that’s why a custom mold from VI Plastics makes sense. Give us a call today and we can begin the process of finding the custom mold that suits your company’s needs. If you already have a mold, we can provide you a quote and start manufacturing your blow-molded products today.
