| Abstract Scope |
Sterility compromising cracks in pharmaceutical glass containers are a consistent source of concern for the pharmaceutical industry. This presentation analyzes the effect and fractography of applying low coefficient of friction coating on the generation of bruise, a.k.a. bump check style damage on borosilicate vials. Damage was simulated at multiple loads in a lab setting allowing a comparison of damage on coated and uncoated vials. The results show that coating reduces the severity of surface damage and the rate of through crack generation, resulting in vials that are more robust to known damage sources. |
