Introducing
The New Glass lining for GMP and FDA requirements
Pfaudler Pharma Glass PPG
The Pharma Glass (PPG) has been developed free
of heavy metals, light blue color, with a smoother
surface finish compared to the conventional glass
and improved alkali resistance.
The light blue colour of PPG was chosen because
even brightly colored product films can be easily
detected through good contrast And there is significant
improvement in reactor lighting compared to dark
glasslining.
The smoother surface finish has anti-adhesive properties,
to provide for faster CIP cleaning resulting in
cost and time savings. The surface quality is three
times higher than of conventional glass types. |

The
Need For PPG |
 |
When the requirements of the Bulk Drug industry were
studied recently, in context of the stringent requirements
of GMP and FDA, the need for a different glass was evident.
Two of the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry
are increased purity in order to comply with the FDA
and GMP requirements and alternating alkali/acid operation.
The process equipment of the chemical and pharmaceutical
industries has so far been very similar - especially
in terms of glasslined reactors and components. In light
of the survey, Pfaudler's response was a novel glass
tailored to the needs of manufacturing pharmaceutical
products, vitamins and fine chemicals.
