13mm, 15mm & 20mm Butyl Rubber Stopper for Lyophilization – Premium Freeze-Dried Product Closure with Low Extractables
Medical-Grade Lyophilization Closures Designed for Biologics, Vaccines, and High-Purity Pharmaceuticals in Type I Borosilicate Glass Vials
The 13mm, 15mm, and 20mm Butyl Rubber Stopper for Lyophilization from فارگلس is engineered specifically for freeze-dried (lyophilized) pharmaceuticals, offering superior moisture barrier performance, low extractables, and excellent resealability after vial sealing. These pharmaceutical lyophilization closures are ideal for biologic drugs, mRNA vaccines, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), and sterile powder formulations that require long-term stability under controlled humidity conditions.
Unlike standard rubber stoppers, our lyophilization-grade butyl rubber stoppers are manufactured using high-purity raw materials and undergo rigorous extractables testing to ensure they meet the stringent requirements of USP <661>, EP 3.1.9, and FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 standards.
Manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 و GMP-compliant conditions in Henan, China, every stopper is tested for moisture permeability, visual defects, and bioburden control — ensuring consistent quality and regulatory compliance for global markets.

Why Chlorobutyl Rubber Is the Gold Standard for Freeze-Dried Products
For lyophilized (freeze-dried) pharmaceuticals, the choice of rubber material is critical. Here’s why chlorobutyl rubber is preferred over standard butyl:
🔹 Superior Moisture Barrier: Chlorobutyl reduces water vapor transmission by up to 30% compared to butyl rubber (Source: Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2022).
🔹 Lower Extractables Profile: Essential for sensitive biologics where even trace impurities can affect efficacy.
🔹 Better Chemical Resistance: Resists degradation from residual solvents and excipients used in formulation.
🔹 Enhanced Seal Integrity: Maintains tight closure under vacuum conditions during the lyophilization cycle.
According to the European Pharmacopoeia (EP 3.1.9), halogenated butyl rubbers (e.g., chlorobutyl) are recommended for high-purity biologics due to their low leachables و high chemical inertness.
