Penetrability Test for Rubber Stoppers

Our Penetrability Test for Rubber Stoppers ensures your products meet industry standards for durability, quality, and safety. Whether you’re in the pharmaceutical, medical device, or packaging industries, ensuring that your rubber stoppers can withstand penetration forces is critical for product integrity. This test is essential for compliance with USP 381, USP 382, and ISO 8871-5 standards.

Penetrability testing is crucial to ensuring that rubber stoppers perform correctly in packaging applications, especially in medical and pharmaceutical sectors. Our state-of-the-art equipment provides accurate, repeatable results, so you can ensure your rubber stoppers meet all required specifications.

What is a Penetrability Test?

Penetrability Test measures the resistance of rubber stoppers to penetration by a needle or other device. This test is particularly important in ensuring that rubber stoppers will not only provide a proper seal but also withstand any forces during the filling or sealing processes in pharmaceutical and medical packaging applications. A reliable penetrability tester measures how easily a needle or similar device penetrates the stopper, which is vital for maintaining the safety and functionality of the product.

For manufacturers, this test ensures that stoppers will remain intact during storage, handling, and use. It’s especially relevant for those working in pharmaceutical packaging, medical devices, and any application where rubber stoppers are part of a sealing system.

Penetrability Test for Rubber Stopper - Key Testing Standards

  • Adherence to industry standards is essential for ensuring that your rubber stoppers are fit for use in pharmaceutical and medical packaging. We ensure full compliance with the following critical standards:

    1. USP 381
      The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) 381 standard specifies the physical characteristics and performance requirements for rubber stoppers used in pharmaceutical applications. Compliance with USP 381 ensures the stopper meets necessary functionality and safety standards.
