Aptar designed the 3-Phase Activ-Polymer solution to be completely incorporated into the blister package for drug protection, including moisture adsorption, as well as oxygen and odour scavenging.

The technology can also be used for specific drug protection. It can be modified in line with the drug developer’s long-term and in-use stability requirements.

The solution can also scavenge volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and emit aromas.

Biotech and pharmaceutical partners can also benefit from the technology as it offers manufacturing flexibility.

Based in Crystal Lake, Illinois, Aptar has over 14,000 employees in 18 countries.

Earlier this month, the company signed an agreement to buy 49% stake in Chinese colour cosmetics packaging manufacturer BTY.
