the collaboration between is born Teamplast Srl and theUniversity of Ferrara, aimed at studying the real protective performance of our UV BARRIER bag cover in LDPE, intended for the protection of photosensitive drugs.
Why is it essential to protect drugs from light?
Many injectable drugs (such as chemotherapy and anti-cancer drugs) are extremely sensitive to light, particularly UV radiation, which can alter their composition and effectiveness.
Inadequate protection can cause:
- Degradation of the active ingredient
- Formation of toxic or inactive by-products
- Reduction of the effective dose administered
- Risk for the patient and ineffectiveness of the therapy
Studying with UNIFE: data in hand, protection guaranteed
In collaboration with the laboratories of theUniversity of Ferrara, we tested our anti-UV barrier films (bag covers or bottle covers) through detailed spectrophotometric analyses.
The results are clear:
- The analyzed samples show almost zero transmittance up to 350 nm, completely blocking the rays.
- Even in the visible light range, our films guarantee a much superior shielding compared to standard materials.
- The new sample of films studied has reduced transmittance up to 98% compared to the reference material.
These tests demonstrate that our final stage of protection – the bag cover – it's not a detail, but a critical safety element for drugs and patients.
This solution ensures that light-sensitive drugs, such as anticancer infusions or parenteral antibiotics, are kept safe from photochemical damage, while maintaining effectiveness and safety as best as possible.
