Blanketing and inerting

Blanketing and inerting

Blanketing or inerting with nitrogen provides two main benefits for pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities:

• Safety
• Quality

Blanketing, also known as inerting, is the process of replacing the atmospheric air around a substance with a non-reactive gas (such as nitrogen, argon, …) to ensure it stays in a passive state.

Benefits of Nitrogen

Nitrogen offers safety and quality for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, protecting sensitive materials from fire and explosions with the minimum gas volume, while also meeting performance standards and being easy to manage.
