MDI aluminum canisters 5

Fluorocarbon Polymerization (FCP)

Anomatic’s dedication to providing cost effective solutions to the metered-dose inhaler industry has resulted in the development of a unique plasma treatment process that significantly reduces the surface energy of the inside of the canister. Using ultra-pure monomers, the Anomatic system achieves a hydrophobic surface with a contact angle greater than 90 degrees. This helps to prevent the adhesion of the formulation to the canister wall.

Deep Draw Aluminum Canisters

Our deep drawing process ensures a consistent side wall thickness using high-strength aluminum, a far superior choice compared to other forming methods. The aluminum is work-hardened during the deep draw process and the surface mechanically polished, providing a smooth, hard, internal finish suitable for use with both CFC and HFA propellants. The Anomatic series of high-quality, deep-drawn aluminum canisters are designed to be compatible with your chosen valves, actuators, and drug formulations.

Anodized (MDI) Canisters

Aluminum anodization is an electrochemical process that enhances the strength, durability, and appearance of aluminum. When aluminum is oxidized, super-strong oxide (anodic) layers “grow” on the surface of the metal. These new layers are highly resistant to wear and corrosion.

The exacting part to part consistency achieved with our unique anodizing system cannot be obtained with conventional hoist line systems. Conventional anodizing systems present parts with varied coating thicknesses and voids formed due to air pocketing.

A consistent uniform 6 µm anodic film thicknesses will protect certain drug formulations and the canister from degradation. Heavier film thicknesses of up to 12µm can be provided to meet your more demanding application.
