Advanced Desiccant Polymer

Applications: Diagnostics, Pharmaceuticals, Nutraceuticals, Electronics, Candies & More

What is it?
Süd-Chemie's ADP™, Advanced Desiccant Polymer, is a patented material that combines the advantages of traditional polymers – such as rigid protection and ergonomic design – with the benefits of advanced moisture protection. Customized to suit customers' specific needs, ADP products can be molded into virtually any shape or size and have desiccant protection built directly into their polymer walls.

Why use it?
Products like diagnostic test strips, electronics and tablets are often sensitive to moisture and breakage. With ADP, packaging solutions like hinge-cap tubes, dosers, dispensers and bottles can be molded entirely from desiccant polymer material. Even components of moisture sensitive medical devices, such as caps of fertility test kits or complete IVD housings, can be molded from ADP.

With ADP, manufacturers can streamline workflow by eliminating the need for desiccant insertion, foil pouching or carton packaging. And, because the desiccant is built into the polymer walls, ADP allows manufacturers to utilize the entire volume of their packaging for what really counts – their product.

Customized six-color designs can be printed directly onto the tubes for heightened brand recognition.

Available configurations
Products made with ADP desiccant polymer are non-dusting, safe and environmentally friendly. All products are customized to meet individual customer demand, making the possibilities almost endless.
