Velocity® Vials

Pharmaceutical vials protected with Corning’s low-friction external coating

Pharmaceutical vials protected with Corning’s low-friction external coating

Conventional glass vials typically have a high coefficient of friction, which can reduce vial flow on pharmaceutical filling lines and lead to interventions, vial jams, tip-overs, and glass breakage. These issues create disruptions and can increase drug filling manufacturing costs. 

Corning® Velocity® Vials are Type I borosilicate vials with an external low-friction coating that can help improve quality and speed the delivery of lifesaving treatments. Velocity Vials can maximize filling line productivity by increasing efficiency and yield, reducing manufacturing costs and accelerating the delivery of critical pharmaceutical products.
