In the spotlight at CPhI India 2014: Clariant desiccant canisters and packets.

Desiccant canisters from Clariant are the most widely used canisters in the pharmaceutical industry, primarily due to their ability to be inserted at high rates of speed on high velocity packaging lines. The systems used to ensure quality of the desiccant canisters by electronic vision inspection thus ensuring relevant specification parameters are being met for each canister.

Also, Clariant manufactures a wide range of desiccant packets in strip and single form.
