Packaging / Inerting / Blanketing for Pharmaceuticals

Safety and quality for your pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities

Inerting, also known as blanketing, is the process of replacing the atmospheric air around a substance or material with a non-reactive gas, such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide or argon, to ensure it stays in a passive or unreactive state.

Our gas solutions can help you to preserve the quality of active ingredients and drugs, helping to eliminate oxidation and prevent microbiological contamination of your products.

When using nitrogen for the packaging of biotechnology products, we understand you want assurance that the nitrogen you are using is reliable, traceable and compliant with regulations.

Air Products' high-purity, pharma-grade gases offer full traceability back to raw material data, helping you reduce in-house controls, supplier qualification processes, and much more.

We can help you choose the optimum inerting method to meet your needs, while also keeping gas usage to a minimum.
