Abstract

SIERRA, Isabel Cristina  and  TRUJILLO GONZALEZ, Mary. Assessment of national and international standards of quality control applied to aerosol containers. Rev. colomb. cienc. quim. farm. [online]. 2013, vol.42, n.2, pp.226-243. ISSN 0034-7418.

The progressive growth of the aerosol industry is due largely to the effectiveness of this type of packaging to contain, protect, preserve and dispense the product. Currently, some elements have been added in order to influence the final decision, they allow these containers are economical, ergonomic, environmentally friendly and good looking. The growth trend of the aerosol industry has spread to all sectors of consumption, mainly for personal care, home care, pharmaceuticals for human and veterinary use, and food products. Thanks to the efforts of industries maquiladoras in search of new opportunities, Colombia currently has machinery and inputs to produce aerosols with international quality. Given the diversity of packaging suppliers, needed to meet demand, it is essential to establishing guidelines for quality control of packaging as this directly impacts the quality of the final product. In this paper we reviewed and assessed most representative standards, nationally and internationally, for the quality control of metal aerosol containers, in order to identify the tests applicable to both pharmaceutical industry as a cosmetic.
