Glass Delamination Studies

Glass Delamination, while considered rare, remains a significant concern in the pharmaceutical industry. It occurs when the inner surface of a glass container, serving as the primary container for a drug product, deteriorates. This degradation can lead to the formation of thin, reflective flakes, known as glass lamellae, within the drug product. Often, the root cause of glass delamination is an inherent incompatibility between the drug product’s formulation and the glass container’s chemical composition. In response to this issue, regulatory agencies now require pharmaceutical companies to include glass delamination data in their regulatory filings.
