A glass container is characterized by a longitudinal axis (L) that passes through a center of a glass bottom of the glass container. For any cut surface of the glass container that is obtainable by cutting the glass container in a plane that includes the longitudinal axis L, a minimum thickness (s) and a maximum thickness (s) of the glass bottom determined at any position having a distance d/4 or less to the longitudinal axis Land a thickness (s) is the thickness of the glass bottom determined at a position having the distance d/4 to the longitudinal axis L, the distance to the longitudinal axis Lin each case being determined in a direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis Land thicknesses s, sand sbeing determined in a direction that is parallel to longitudinal axis L, with s/sbeing less than 1.8.

Glass containers for packaging salt or sugar-containing compositions in a frozen state

A glass container is provided having a glass tube with a first end and a second end and a glass bottom closing the second end. The glass tube has a longitudinal axis and has, in a direction from the first to the second end, a top region, a junction region, a neck region, a shoulder region, and a body region. The top region is at the first end and has an outer diameter (d), the neck region has an outer diameter (d) with d<d, the body region extends to the second end and has an outer diameter (d) with d>d, and the glass tube in the body region has a thickness (l). The outer contour in a transition area between the top and neck regions is defined by a radius of curvature. The glass containers have a neck squeeze test load of at least 1100 N.

Vial with optimized neck for improved side compression performance

At least one system for storage of pharmaceutical compositions includes: a container including a neck and a crown that includes an upper crown surface; a stopper including a flange and a plug, the flange including a lower flange surface and a flange height; and a holding element configured to exert a force on the crown and the flange to form a horizontal contact area between the upper crown surface and the lower flange surface. The horizontal contact area has a size of 30 mmto 300 mmand the flange height is compressed at least partially in the horizontal contact area by 10% to 40%.

System for long time storage of pharmaceutical compositions at low temperatures

A glass container is provided that includes a tube, a circular bottom, and a longitudinal axis. A curved glass heel extends from an outer end the bottom to the first end of the tube. The outer surface has a topography defined by a function ĥ(x) that is an azimuthal average of a distance between a contact plane and the outer surface at any given position located on a circle having the centre and the radius |x|. The values ĥ for ĥ(x) are determined for a plurality of circles the radius of which increases stepwise by 500 μm starting with a circle around the centre having a radius of 500 μm. The values ĥ are determined in a range from x=−0.4×d/2 to x=+0.4×d/2, dhaving a size such that at least 4 values ĥ are determined and can be fitted with a curvature function

Glass container comprising a glass bottom with improved properties

A glass container is provided that includes a tube, a circular bottom, and a longitudinal axis. A curved glass heel extends from an outer end the bottom to the first end of the tube. The two-dimensional distance h(x,y) between a contact plane and the outer surface. The two-dimensional distance is measured in a direction parallel to the axis. The slope magnitude of the outer surface at the given position x,y is given by&#x221a;{square root over ((dh/dx)+(dh/dy))}.The 75% quantile of values that have been determined for the term&#x221a;{square root over ((dh/dx)+(dh/dy))}&#xd7;d1/h(xy)for all given positions x,y within a circular area having a radius of 0.4&#xd7;d/2 and that correspond to the centre is less than 4100 &#x3bc;m/mm. The adjacent positions x,y increase stepwise by 200 &#x3bc;m, and h(x,y)=h(x,y)&#x2212;h(x,y), h(x,y)is a maximum value for h(x,y) and h(x,y)is a minimum value for h(x,y) being determined in that circular area.

The glass tube has a longitudinal axis and has, in a direction from the first to the second end, a top region, a junction region, a neck region, a shoulder region, and a body region. The top region is at the first end and has an outer diameter (d), the neck region has an outer diameter (d) with d&#x3c;d, the body region extends to the second end and has an outer diameter (d) with d&#x3e;d, and the glass tube in the body region has a thickness (l). The outer contour in a transition area between the top and neck regions is defined by a radius of curvature. The glass containers have a neck squeeze test load of at least 1100 N.

A molding tool, a method, and an apparatus for hot forming of glass are provided that provide glass products used for pharmaceutical packaging. The molding tool includes a forming mandrel for reshaping at least a portion of a heated region of a glass precursor. The mandrel has a temperature-stable core material and an alloying element. The core material is made of precious metals, in particular of platinum group elements, and the further alloying element is made of one of tungsten, zirconium, rhodium, molybdenum, and rhenium.

Tungsten containing forming mandrel for glass forming

A device for producing glass products for primary pharmaceutical packaging is provided. The device includes a clamping chuck for clamping a glass product, a drive for driving the clamping chuck rotatingly about a longitudinal axis thereof, and a burner for heating a glass products received within the clamping chuck. The clamping chuck has a baffle structure for generating a gas current for cooling the clamping chuck when the clamping chuck is rotatingly driven about a longitudinal axis thereof while the glass product is heated above its softening temperature for hot-forming.
