FluroTec® Plungers
An investment in drug purity
Overview
West FluroTec Plungers can:
- Improve the shelf life of a packaged drug
- Reduce visible and subvisible particulates
- Improve compatibility of the closure and the drug
FluroTec film is applied during the molding process and is conformable to complex-shaped closures, which are typically required for dry powder and lyophilized applications. Lyopholization closures with West FluroTec film are available in a single-vented design that is proven effective in eliminating mechanical twinning, the interlocking of double-vented stoppers during processing.
