Today s Overview Features of Glass and Plastics ~Various good aspects of Plastics~ Excellent Oxygen and Water Vapor Barrier Ability of OXYCAPT TM Concept of OXYCAPT TM ~Two key technologies; New Oxygen Absorbing Resin & Multilayer Configuration~ Technical Data of OXYCAPT TM 5

Glass vs Plastics Oxygen Barrier Water Vapor Barrier Glass Excellent (Permeation = Zero) Excellent (Permeation = Zero) Plastics (COP) Cyclo Olefin Polymer Poor Excellent (Permeation = very low) Resistance to Breakage Poor Favorable Inorganic Extractables Much Low Organic Extractables Low Low ph Stability Bad Good UV Barrier Poor Poor Transparency Excellent Excellent Weight Heavy Light Protein Adsorption Much Low 7 Disposability Difficult Easy

Good Oxygen Barrier Poor Oxygen and Water Vapor Barrier Plastic MGC has has developed poor oxygen a newand plastic water medical vapor container barrier with excellent oxygen and compared water vapor with barrier. glass. OXYCAPT TM ~OXYCAPT TM Vial & Syringe~ Good Water Vapor Barrier Poor 9

OXYCAPT Technology New Oxygen Absorbing Resin Excellent Oxygen Barrier Retains Strength Low Extractables Multilayer Configuration Improves the properties Co-injection molding + 12 OXYCAPT Vial & Syringe Plastic containers with excellent oxygen barrier Suitable for oxygen sensitive drugs

Oxygen Absorbing Resin Oxygen absorbing resin has excellent oxygen barrier as it absorbs oxygen from outside. <passive barrier resin> <oxygen absorbing resin> 13

Existing Oxygen Absorbing Resin from other company Existing oxygen absorbing resins problems High levels of low-molecular-weight extractables Lose structural strength Example1. The oxidation of ether with transition metal Example2. The oxidation of butadiene with transition metal + + Degradation! Existing OA resins film after oxygen absorbing 14
