IDENCY, the next generation of glass vials

IDENCY, the next generation of glass vials

IDENCY, the perfect Type I borosilicate complementary product to your current portfolio

The rising demand for parenteral drugs (+4% 2021 vs 20201) has subsequently increased supply chain pressures for glass vials.

SGD Pharma developed IDENCY, the perfect Type I borosilicate complementary product to your current portfolio.

IDENCY is suitable for all parenteral drugs, especially for the most sensitive ones.

IDENCY, the next generation of glass vials

IDENCY product features

IDENCY vials combine high chemical and mechanical resistance with the same outer diameter as standard tubular glass vial to ease the integration into your existing filling lines.

IDENCY product features
Superior chemical durability vs uncoated converted vials
Good inspectability
capabilities after filling
Simply stronger
Dimensional compatibility with existing filling lines equipments
and change parts (Body diameter only)
25% reduced carbon footprint
vs standard 10R (tubular)

Patient safety

  • Proven chemical durability enhancing compatibility drug/glass (high hydrolytic resistance, low extractables, no surface degradation)
  • No glass delamination concerns
  • Good inspectability capabilities after filling

The 10MR IDENCY vials shows stronger chemical durability compared with 10R tubular vials.

Chemical durability

Robustness

Stronger mechanical resistance when compared with standard 10R tubular vials. A smoother fill and finish process as the strong mechanical resistance limits vials breakage and line stops.

Reduced carbon footprint impact through light weighting & thanks to the production process

Sustainability

SGD Pharma’s experts made a comparative calculation of the weight and the quantities of CO2 emitted during the production of an ISO 10mL molded vial, a 10R vial and an 10MR IDENCY vial (scope 1 & 2*).

10MR IDENCY compared with : CO₂ emission saving
Standard ISO 10mL molded -24%(Lightweighting)
Standard 10R tubular (1mm thick glass wall) -25%(Production process)
*Scope 1 and 2 do not include the downstream and upstream activities but only the production activities.
