Transdermal Formulation Tensile Strength Testing

Inquiry

Transdermal formulations are administered through the skin, and the drug's transdermal efficiency directly impacts the quality and effectiveness of the formulation. Thus, it is crucial to conduct tensile strength testing of transdermal formulations to ensure product quality and performance. CD Formulation can provide professional testing services for transdermal formulation tensile strength.

About Transdermal Formulation Tensile Strength Testing

Transdermal formulations need to maintain their integrity and structural stability during use. Tensile strength testing can assess the resistance of the patch to external forces to determine whether it will remain intact under normal conditions of use to avoid drug leakage or patch damage due to external forces. Tensile strength testing can also indirectly reflect the adhesive properties of transdermal patches, thereby assessing the stability and durability of their drug release. This is of great significance to ensure that the transdermal patch can release drugs continuously and stably during use and exert its efficacy.

What Can We Offer

By testing the tensile strength of the transdermal formulation, we can determine whether the formulation can remain intact under normal conditions of use and avoid drug leakage or patch damage due to external action.
By testing the tensile strength of patches in different batches or different production processes, we can identify potential quality problems in time and make improvements to help optimize product design and production processes.
By testing for tensile strength, we can ensure that your products meet the requirements of relevant regulations and standards to ensure the safety of patients.

Our Capabilities for Tensile Strength Testing

Instrument	Description
Tensile testing machine	Tensile testing machine is a conventional device used to test the properties of materials under tensile conditions. It usually includes a fixture, a loading unit and a data acquisition system. The transdermal patch sample can be clamped between the fixtures and a gradually increasing tension is applied to measure parameters such as tensile strength, tensile modulus and elongation.
Shear tensile test machine	This test machine combines shear and tensile functions and is suitable for evaluating the properties of transdermal patches under bidirectional tensile. They usually have multifunctional clamps that can achieve forces in different directions.

Why Choose Us for Transdermal Formulation Tensile Strength Testing?

We are equipped with professional equipment and instruments and follow standardized testing procedures to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
In addition to tensile strength, we can also test other properties of the patch, such as adhesion, stickiness, peel strength, etc., to comprehensively evaluate the performance and quality of the patch.
We have rich testing experience and a professional technical support team and can provide customized testing solutions for different types and uses of patches.

IF: 4.1

Published: 2011

Results: In the study, different formulations were prepared by varying the grades of HPMC and concentration of PVP K30 by solvent casting method. The prepared formulations were evaluated for various parameters like thickness, tensile strength, folding endurance, % elongation, % moisture content, % moisture uptake, % drug content, in vitro drug release, in vitro permeation, and drug excipient compatibility.
