Abstract: A glass container for storing pharmaceutical formulations may include a glass body formed from a Type IA or Type IB glass composition according to ASTM Standard E438-92(2011). The glass body may include a wall portion with an inner surface and an outer surface, a heel portion and a floor portion, wherein the inner surface of the glass container is formed by the inner surface of the glass body. The glass body may include at least a class A2 base resistance or better according to ISO 695, at least a type HGB2 hydrolytic resistance or better according to ISO 719 and Type 1 chemical durability according to USP <660>. The glass container does not comprise a boron-rich layer on the inner surface of the glass body in as formed condition.

Abstract: A coated glass pharmaceutical package includes a glass body having a Type 1 chemical durability according to USP 660, at least a class A2 base resistance or better according to ISO 695, and at least a type HGB2 hydrolytic resistance or better according to ISO 719, the glass body having an interior surface and an exterior surface and a wall extending therebetween. A lubricous coating having a thickness of less than or equal to 90 nm may be positioned on at least a portion of the exterior surface of the glass body but not on any portion of the interior surface. The portion of the coated glass package with the lubricous coating comprises a coefficient of friction that is at least 20% less than an uncoated glass package and the coefficient of friction does not increase by more than 30% after undergoing a depyrogenation cycle including exposure to a temperature of 250° C. for a time period of 30 minutes.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to coated glass articles which reduce glass particle formation caused by glass to glass contact in pharmaceutical glass filling lines.

Abstract: According to embodiments, a coated pharmaceutical container may include a pharmaceutical container comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface, wherein the pharmaceutical container may include a glass composition that has Class HGA1 hydrolytic resistance when tested according to the ISO 720 testing standard. The coated pharmaceutical container may further include a coating bonded to at least a portion of the exterior surface but not on any portion of the interior surface. The coating may have a coefficient of friction less than or equal to 0.7, and the coated pharmaceutical container may be thermally stable after heating at a temperature of at least 260° C. for a time period of 30 minutes.
