What are the applications of PP cream cans in drug packaging
PP (polypropylene) cream cans have the following applications in the field of pharmaceutical packaging due to their multiple excellent characteristics:
1. Packaging for topical dermatological drugs
Ointment: Used for applying dermatological ointments, such as antibiotics like mupirocin ointment. The PP cream jar can be tightly sealed to prevent the cream from coming into contact with the outside air, prevent the active ingredients from oxidizing and deteriorating, and maintain stable drug efficacy. Moreover, its chemical properties are stable and will not react with the ingredients in the ointment, ensuring medication safety.
Gel: Acne removing gel and moisturizing gel based on carbomer can provide good support for this kind of viscous gel, which is convenient for patients to squeeze out appropriate dosage, while maintaining the physical form of gel to prevent stratification and water separation.
2. Packaging for drugs used in ophthalmology
Eye ointment: Commonly used ophthalmic drugs such as erythromycin eye ointment and aureomycin eye ointment. The small diameter design of the PP cream can is very suitable for the eye medication scenario, correctly controlling the extrusion amount, avoiding waste, and reducing the risk of ointment contamination. The light shielding property of the can body is also good, protecting the drug components that are sensitive to light and extending the shelf life.
Nasal gel: physiological seawater nasal gel for relieving rhinitis symptoms. PP cream can be easily squeezed by one hand, which is convenient for patients to use by themselves. At the same time, in the process of frequent opening and closing, it still maintains good sealing performance, maintains the moist state of gel, and prevents drying and caking.
3. Packaging for oral medications
Oral ulcer gel: oral ulcer gel is put into PP cream tank, and with its good flexibility, the patient can easily apply gel to the ulcer wound due to its labor-saving and correct extrusion. Moreover, the material can withstand a certain temperature range, and will not deform even under different seasons and storage environment temperatures, affecting the storage and use of gel.
Tooth desensitization cream: Tooth desensitization cream needs to be used frequently. The PP cream jar can be opened and closed repeatedly, with strong durability. It can also prevent the volatilization of effective ingredients such as potassium nitrate in desensitization cream, ensuring consistent desensitization effect every time it is used.
4. Packaging of wound care drugs
Burn ointment: Burn ointment often contains ingredients such as oil and Vaseline. PP cream jars have good anti leakage properties, which can prevent the ointment from seeping out and contaminating clothing. It is also convenient to carry, making it easy for patients to carry around during travel and outdoor activities, in order to promptly handle accidental burns.
Scar removal cream: Silicone scar removal cream and other products. The smooth inner wall of the PP cream can makes the cream easy to extrude, and the remaining cream will not remain too much, ensuring the complete service life of the product. Moreover, the material cost is relatively reasonable, which meets the needs of large-scale production.
