Airless Dispensers Prevent Contamination And Increase Shelf Life

By Pharmaceutical Processing | March 5, 2009


Airless technology offers an optional self-sealing actuator that prevents product from coming into contact with oxygen through a membrane in the pump’s orifice that automatically seals once the formula has been dispensed. This dispensing mechanism protects product from the harmful effects of long-term air exposure, including contamination, discoloration and product dry-out, and ultimately, increases product shelf life and effectiveness. This technology also enhances product usage by delivering precise and repeatable dosing. Appropriate products for the airless dispensers include over-the-counter and pharmaceutical ointments, gels and creams for applications such as wound care treatments, anti-inflammatory and dermatological formulations and any product containing active ingredients. The airless dispensers are also an excellent packaging choice for "all natural" products that feature little or no preservatives, making them especially vulnerable to the damaging effects of oxygen exposure. The airless dispensers are available in Micro, Mezzo, Mini, Midi and Macro models, in round or oval shaped containers, ranging in size from 15ml to 200ml. Dispensing amounts are available in dosages of 0.3ml, 0.5ml, 0.8ml, 1.0ml and 1.5ml. Unique design and decorating options are available to increase shelf impact.
