Abstract:
A zirconium-free neutral glass is provided that finds use in the pharmaceutical sector. The glass has a combination of alkali metal oxides of sodium, potassium and optionally lithium, and a controlled amount of aluminum oxide, which provides a zirconium-free and low-boron neutral glass having good hydrolytic stability, good acid and alkali stability and good devitrification properties. The glass includes the following components in % by weight: SiO2 72-82, B2O3 3-8, Al2O3 5-8, Na2O2.5-5.5, K2O3.6-8.4, Li2O 0-0.7, MgO 0-0.7, CaO 0-0.4, and TiO2 0-5, wherein Li2O + Na2O + K2O6.8-14.6, and K2O/Na2O ratio0.7-3.4.
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: SiO271-77; B2O39-12; Al2O35.5-8; Na2O6-8; K2O0.1-0.9; Li2O0-0.3; CaO0-1.5; BaO0-1; F0-0.3; Cl-0-0.3; and MgO + CaO + BaO + SrO 0-2.
