The Oracle

Spring, 2008 Adelphi Tubes - Primary Packaging Specialists

Dear Valued Customer,

Adelphi Completes 60 Years of Trading

In 1947 Adelphi Manufacturing was founded by Peter Holroyd off of The Strand in London and has since moved location to its current site in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. Over the years Adelphi has grown organically and through acquisition to create Adelphi Coldstream and Adelphi Tubes (Est.1970) and most recently Adelphi Masterfil.

Adelphi Tubes was established to meet the growing demand of existing Adelphi customers for primary packaging. Initially Adelphi Tubes stocked and marketed ampoules, vials and collapsible aluminium tubes but has since significantly developed and expanded its product range to satisfy the market need for high quality pharmaceutical primary packaging and delivery systems.

Adelphi would like to thank all those who have done business with us, our long standing partners & principals and also everyone who has worked here over the years.

The Adelphi Group is grateful to you all!

New development at Linhardt

Working in cooperation with Rexam, Linhardt have combined an extruded plastic tube with an airless dispenser pump to create an innovative dispensing package for liquids, gels and creams.

The benefits gained from this system include:
• Airless packaging - preservative free system
• Consistent evacuation rate
• Dispense viscous formulas and sprays
• Pump has low actuation and excellent dispensing properties
• Full decoration options: offset, silk screen, hot stamping or labelled
• High speed and low cost filling on existing tube filling machines

SCHOTT Type I Plus®

SCHOTT Type I Plus® containers have purity and inertness surface properties like quartz. The container can be washed, depyrogenated, filled, closed, inspected and sterilised just like standard containers. We recommended Type I Plus® for products with:

• Low concentrated proteins with absorption tendencies
• High pH products
• Preparations which cannot tolerate a pH shift or ion leaching
• Formulations that react with metal ions
• Preparations with degradation tendencies
• Formulations containing complexing agents e.g. citrates, EDTA
• Radioactive diagnostics
