Product Variants of Pharmaceutical Type I Glass Tubing
With their low alkali content, chemical resistance, and optional UV protection, the various forms of FIOLAX® and BORO-8330™ glass provide a very low risk of drug-container interaction. Along with DENSOCAN® and DENSOPACK® transit protection, we offer all-round packaging solutions for the medical professional.
FIOLAX® clear
CHARACTERISTICS
This high-quality Type I borosilicate glass boasts an outstanding chemical and hydrolytic resistance, impermeability, and neutrality. These properties protect the contents from premature aging and loss of effectiveness. FIOLAX® clear is a secure packaging medium for injectable solutions and biotech products.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
-
Proven since 1911 and registered with thousands of drugs, FIOLAX® clear demonstrates an impressive track record.

100% perfeXion® production combines high quality and tight tolerances that contribute to stable machine operation in converting as well as fill and finish. Actual quality data from this 100% single tube inspection are provided for each pallet.
-
Customizable specifications (Best value options) available to achieve tighter tolerances or lower defect rates for the most demanding applications.
-
Customizing options available such as different Tube-End Finishes and Anti-Scratch Coating for safer transportation. In addition, we offer FIOLAX® clear with Controlled Hydrolytic Resistance (CHR), ensuring certified chemical quality of the tubing's inner surface. In case you focus on enhanced mechanical durability, FIOLAX® clear with Optimized Strength (OS) might be the appropriate solution.

Compliance with all international regulations, including Ph.Eur., USP, ISO, JP, ChP, YBB, REACH, RoHS.
FIOLAX® amber
CHARACTERISTICS
FIOLAX® amber is a colored glass with a proven track record for securing the long-term stability of light-sensitive drugs. The stable composition of this Type I glass ensures a consistent amber color and therefore light protection, which is created by the addition of iron and titanium oxide. As with FIOLAX® Pro and clear, FIOLAX® amber possesses outstanding material quality with narrow tolerances, resulting in smooth machine operation and superior product quality.

BORO-8330™
CHARACTERISTICS
Like FIOLAX® Pro, clear and amber, BORO-8330™ glass has a consistent composition. In contrast to the other Type I glasses, it is free of alkaline earth metals and has minimum aluminum content. As a Type I Class A glass, it is fully compliant with international regulatory standards, and especially popular for vials and ampoules in the United States.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
