Purillex ETFE Bottles for Radiopharmaceutical Manufacturing
This promising drug class is garnering the attention of many within the pharmaceutical space.
Around the world, companies in the highly competitive pharmaceutical industry are investing billions of dollars into research & development with the aim of bring first-to-market with the next innovative drug. For many manufacturers, radiopharmaceuticals represent a promising drug class that might get this done.
Radiopharmaceuticals are emerging as highly effective therapeutic and diagnostic agents for multiple diseases, including cancers, hyperthyroidism, and certain blood disorders. On the therapeutic front, they work by delivering radionuclides (radiation) to targeted cells, directly causing systematic and irreparable damage. As a diagnostic tool, they serve as an essential component of muclear medicine imaging – which helps provide a clear picture of how a patient’s tissues and organs are performing without harming the individual.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers are quickly taking notice of the drug class’s potential. In fact, the global radiopharmaceuticals market is currently valued at $7.51 billion and projected to increase to $14.44 billion by 2034 (a 7.53% CAGR).
To aid in this rapidly emerging field, Savillex offers its line of Purillex® Bottles manufactured with ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) resin to the highest standards of quality and performance. Designed to meet the stringent demands of this specialized industry, they offer exceptional reliability and durability for a variety of radiopharmaceutical applications – from radioisotope storage and nuclear imaging research to hot lab chemical storage and radioactive waste collection.
Purillex ETFE Bottles are manufactured by a stretch blow molding process, adapted for fluoropolymer use by Savillex to provide cleaner and smoother fluid contact surfaces, easier pouring, and superior seal integrity. All Purillex ETFE Bottles also come with a Certificate of Conformance that includes lot release testing for absolute traceability. Attributes of our ETFE resin include the following:
