New leading edge plastics technology offers unlimited opportunities
 Activ-PakTM  
 Modified Thermoplastic Products
The Activ-Pak polymer blend is made up of three components – the polymer, a channeling agent, and an active component such as desiccant – that allows for the creation of stable, co-continuous, interpenetrating – or “web-like” – channels. These channels facilitate transport, via diffusion, of substances throughout the polymer. The resulting polymer blend responds to external signals and stimuli in a pre-programmed fashion, activating the desired environmental control, whether it be absorption, release, transport or activation of substances through the channels. This revolutionary process removes the barrier characteristic associated with plastic, while retaining the characteristic of structure.

Moisture absorption CO 2 /O 2 /ethylene/formaldehyde absorption
Biocide release Flavor/odor/fragrance
Dry sterilization Absorption or release

Activ-Pak offers functionality and flexibility never before seen in plastics. Many different materials can be incorporated into these polymer blends, enabling you to provide a controlled environment within your product packaging. And you can reproducibly and predictably control the rate and duration of the desired activity – an unprecedented feature no other modified resin product can match.

This revolutionary Activ-Pak technology has led to the development of a family of modified thermoplastic products and can be made into any size or form necessary – from vials, canisters, bottles, strands, and extruded film to a solid block or a molded part customized for your specific needs.


CSP Technologies, an ISO 9001 certified company, is committed to exploring new technologies to deliver added-value solutions that meet the challenges of a increasingly complex and technically challenging marketplace. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, with approved Class 100,000 and 10,000 clean rooms, are located in the United States and Europe. All product components are routinely used in the pharmaceutical and food packaging field and maintain standard regulatory compliance.


 Activ-VialTM  
 Unique Plastic Containers with Active Functionality
  
Revolutionary vial design incorporates desiccant for superior environmental control
CSP Technologies has taken its revolutionary Activ-Pak technology and incorporated it into a patent-protected vial that assimilates active substances, such as desiccants, right into the body of the container. The Activ-Vial offers unprecedented control and reproducibility of the rate and duration of humidity control required to optimize the performance of your products. No other vial or container can match this technology.

The unique single-mold vial and closure system vial allows the user to open and close with one hand and requires minimal pressure to seal. It offers an air-tight and leak-proof environment to maintain product integrity and prolong shelf-life. This cost-effective one-piece design enhances your inventory control and production efficiencies, eliminates mismatches between bottles and caps, and removes cross contamination issues. In addition, it provides the value-added, unique consumer benefit of an easily manipulated container system — a real plus for those consumers who have difficulty opening traditional vials and containers. CSP also offers tamper-proof and child-resistant closure features for its containers — meeting every consumer need.

To increase your manufacturing process efficiency, CSP has the engineering expertise to integrate our container technology into your high speed packaging lines.

 

CSP has become a leading provider of plastic containers for the pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic, drug testing, food and dairy industries. We have been awarded “Best New Product” from Interphex Europe and “Hot New Product” from Food & Drug Packaging.

 

CSP can custom design a formula to absorb moisture at varying rates over a period of time to best meet your specific requirements. To find out more about how Activ-Vial from CSP Technologies can offer you practical and economical packaging solutions, contact your local representative today.

CSP engineers the polymers to control small molecule transport through the materials. The underlying proprietary enabling technology allows for the creation of a microscopic co-continuous interconnecting channel morphology throughout a solid polymer structure. These channels provide pathways that facilitate migration of substances through the polymer, thus enabling a host of exciting new applications, including: Polymers which preferentially absorb, scavenge or emit desired small molecules (e.g. Moisture, CO2, O2) Materials which facilitate or retard the transport of one or more substances Polymers with novel electric or ionic transport properties. In a revolutionary new technological breakthrough, desiccants can now be integrated directly into plastics and molded or shaped into any product form with variable adsorption rates and capacities.
