For processes in pharmaceutical process engineering, in actives production and for the synthesis of highly pure, fine chemicals, a special glass type is often used today, which is generally referred to as "Pharma Glass".

Pharma Glass can be easily recognized by its light blue color and is characterized not only by its high chemical resistance in the low pH range, but also by an improved resistance against attacks in the alkali range.

Pharma Glass was specifically made more resistant to higher pH values in order to better withstand the frequent use of alkali detergents in CIP cleaning of production plants.

And finally, the bright color of the glass helps to detect possible contamination and residues more easily and safely.



To summarize the properties again:

Distinct anti-adhesive properties with respect to bio films and other contamination.
   
Improved chemical resistance to alkalis compared to chemical glass qualities.
   
The surface of TPE 2000 guarantees excellent sterile properties against alkali processes and cleaning methods for a longer time.
   
At the same time, its special color provides for a better detection of transparent-milky and dark contaminants.
   
Strongly reduced use of heavy metal oxides in the glass coat (cobalt), resulting in lower heavy metal emissions to the product in the event of highly corrosive processes.
