  • Patent number: 11746045
    Abstract: A glass article comprising an alkali aluminosilicate glass that is formable by down-draw processes for example slot- and fusion-draw to thicknesses of 125 ?m or less and is capable of being chemically strengthened by ion-exchange to achieve a compressive stress at its surface of at least 950 MPa, in some embodiments at least about 1000 MPa, and in other embodiments at least about 1100 MPa. The high surface compressive stress allows the glass to retain net compression and thus contain surface flaws when the glass is subjected to bending around a tight radius. The glass may be used in foldable display applications.

    Abstract: The present invention is based, at least in part, on the identification of a pharmaceutical container formed, at least in part, of a glass composition which exhibits a reduced propensity to delaminate, i.e., a reduced propensity to shed glass particulates. As a result, the presently claimed containers are particularly suited for storage of pharmaceutical compositions and, specifically, a pharmaceutical solution comprising a pharmaceutically active ingredient, for example, Prolia® (denosumab), Xgeva® (denosumab), Aranesp® (darbepoetin alfa), AMG-145, romosozumab (AMG-785), ganitumab (AMG-479), trebananib (AMG-386), brodalumab (AMG-827), and rilotumumab (AMG-102).

  • Patent number: 9714192
    Abstract: Ion exchangeable glass compositions that develop concentration profiles and stress profiles that have higher magnitudes of concentration and compressive stress profiles than those provided by the error function (erfc)-shaped compressive stress profile for similar surface concentrations of stress-inducing components such as K+ or K2O and stresses. The advantaged stress profile is the result of a glass composition that is low in K2O (or potassium) in the base glass prior to ion exchange. A glass comprising lower amounts of K+ or K2O has a stronger dependence of diffusivity on concentration, leading to a non-erfc-shaped concentration profile. Several glass compositions that contain low amounts of K+ or K2O exhibit this beneficial effect, whereas other glasses containing higher amounts of K+ or K2O do not exhibit this effect.

  • Patent number: 9643882
    Abstract: Borosilicate glasses, preferably for use in the pharmaceutical sector, are provided. The borosilicate glasses are outstandingly suitable for the use as pharmaceutical primary packaging, such as phials or ampoules, since the aqueous or water-containing medicaments kept in the containers do not attack the glass significantly, and so the glass releases no, or only few, ions. The borosilicate glasses have the following composition in % by weight or consist thereof: SiO2 71-77; B2O3 9-12; Al2O3 5.5-8; Na2O 6-8; K2O 0.1-0.9; Li2O 0-0.3; CaO 0-1.5; BaO 0-1; F 0-0.3; Cl- 0-0.3; and MgO + CaO + BaO + SrO 0-2.
