Resources feature moisture and oxygen protection solutions for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and diagnostics
Easy access to synergistic Clariant resources for healthcare packaging

Muttenz, July 18, 2013 - Clariant, a world leader in specialty chemicals, today announced a new website for its business segment, Healthcare Packaging, now available at www.healthpack.clariant.com. The new site now reflects the specialized healthcare packaging focus of this Clariant business.

The easy-to-use site, which specifically addresses the product protection needs of stakeholders in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and diagnostic industries, has been completely redesigned to reflect the new Clariant brand identity. Visitors can obtain details on the company’s portfolio of controlled atmosphere packaging solutions for protecting healthcare products against the effects of oxygen and moisture, including downloadable product sheets and catalog information. Featured solutions include IDC® integrated desiccant closures, EQ-Pak® sorbents, ADP® advanced desiccant polymer, PharmaKeep® oxygen absorbers, Oxy-Guard® barrier bottles and drop-in style desiccant canisters and packets.

The site is optimized for viewing on mobile phones and tablets, as well as on standard monitors. Further, there is a direct link from the site to Clariant’s Customer Care portal, where U.S. customers have access to full account services and order maintenance 24/7.

“We are pleased to offer our customers this streamlined yet robust online resource to help guide selection of Clariant Healthcare Packaging solutions for their specific protection requirements,” said Andy Walti, global head of Clariant Healthcare Packaging. “We are confident that customers will enjoy the site’s easy navigation, wealth of targeted information and resources, and elegant design that showcases our new Clariant brand.”

In addition to this dedicated website, healthcare customers benefit from the organizational realignment of Healthcare Packaging as a part of Clariant’s Business Area Plastics and Coatings. The new organization provides seamless access and synergies to the collective healthcare packaging resources of the Clariant organization, such as colorants and additives from the Medical Masterbatches segment.

Clariant Healthcare Packaging focuses on protecting pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products from the major pathways to drug degradation, particularly moisture and oxygen. The new web site highlights these applications, educating customers on the myriad of solutions available to support drug stability and product shelf life.
