Caps and Closures
Materials used in the pharmaceutical applications must be compliant with the various industry standards, and offer performance features that can help reduce costs and improve patient’s ease of use. With increasing demand for innovative packaging in this segment and growing concerns about product purity and security, SABIC’s caps and closures portfolio is tailored to be used for optimized, lighter caps, closure and dispensing system designs and processing.
