Packaging Decontamination

Packaging Decontamination: Customized Ionizing Radiation Service

The pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries are continually seeking effective methods to ensure the safety and quality of their products. In this context, packaging decontamination plays a crucial role, and IONISOS positions itself as a key player in this field in France and Europe.

With its cutting-edge methods, IONISOS guarantees decontamination solutions tailored to a wide range of materials and products.

Decontaminating Packaging: A Crucial Challenge for Sensitive Industries

Medical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries face the issue of microorganisms (bacteria, molds, fungi) on their packaging. These microorganisms can significantly alter product quality, affect efficacy, and even pose health risks to consumers.

Such risks can lead to costly product recalls and damage the reputation of manufacturers. IONISOS, a specialist in sterilization and industrial decontamination, offers tailored solutions for all types of packaging—cardboard, plastic, cellulose, etc.—to address these critical challenges.

Advanced Decontamination Techniques at IONISOS

IONISOS employs cutting-edge techniques for decontaminating pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging. We use ionizing solutions: electron beams, gamma rays, and X-rays. We guide you to the most suitable method based on the type of packaging and its density.

The process involves exposing the packaging, whether in parcels or pallets, to ionizing radiation in a controlled environment. This non-invasive approach ensures the effective destruction of microorganisms without altering the characteristics of the treated products.

Understanding the Difference Between Sterilization and Decontamination

Although often confused, sterilization and decontamination differ significantly. Sterilization must meet strict standards, such as ISO 11137 for ionizing radiation, and aims to ensure absolute safety, particularly for medical devices.

In contrast, decontamination focuses on significantly reducing microorganisms to achieve a level of safety defined by the client, without necessarily achieving sterility. Therefore, pre-treatment validation is not required.

IONISOS works closely with its clients to determine the most appropriate level of decontamination and select the correct doses and tests.
