DKSH Vietnam will distribute the product in Vietnam. For an optimised supply chain, the company will directly source the product from Clariant’s plant in Changshu, China.

According to Clariant, its durable, rigid tubes along with desiccant stoppers offer protection for breakable and moisture-sensitive pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.

Each tube has a desiccant-filled 25mm stopper that prevents the entry of moisture, while simultaneously adsorbing moisture within the tube to preserve the shelf life of the tablets.

Stoppers will incorporate tamper-evidence features to ensure the integrity of tablets. Even though standard filling comprises 100% silica gel, other desiccants such as molecular sieve will be available on request, depending on application requirements.
