  • Patent number: 10071397
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical packaging comprising a silicone-free lubricating film of crosslinked organic molecules. The method for producing the pharmaceutical packaging comprises: applying a silicone-free organic fluid as a film on a surface of a hollow substrate for the lubricating film; placing the substrate in a vacuum reactor; evacuating the vacuum reactor; generating an alternating electromagnetic field by an AC voltage source; and introducing the alternating electromagnetic field into the interior of the substrate, a field strength thereof in the gas which is present in or introduced into the evacuated cavity of the substrate being sufficient to cause a homogeneous glow discharge under the pressure prevailing in the cavity of the substrate.
