Injection volume for glass and plastic bottles
Plan reliably, dose cleanly
Clear tables showing the available injection volume of our Deltamedica primary packaging materials, for precise formulation and process planning.
What is injection volume?
The injection volume describes the additional volume of liquid that can be injected into the bottle neck after filling without overflow or cross-contamination.
This value is crucial for developers, QM managers and pharmacists, for example, to safely dose solvents, dilutions, buffers or additives and to plan validations of filling processes.
Glass vs. plastic overview
glass bottles
- Clear overview by volume (50–500 ml)
- Standardised bottle neck diameter Ideal for light-sensitive formulations
- Chemically stable and inert
- Higher barrier effect against diffusion
Plastic bottles (PP / PE)
- Partially higher injection volumes
- Break-proof and lightweight
- Wide volume range (100 - 1000 ml)
- Oval and round shapes available
