Moisture Barrier for Effervescent and Hygroscopic Supplements
2025-12-08

Effervescent tablets and hygroscopic powders react to moisture long before the printed expiry date, so barrier is a design constraint rather than an afterthought.
Lowest-WVTR structures
- Aluminum foil laminates, including Alu-Alu systems
- Metallized barrier layers combined with a foil core
- Desiccant-containing bottle formats for multi-dose powder
Where clarity is not the priority
Opaque, foil-based packs protect hygroscopic actives better than any transparent format. Transparency is a presentation choice and should not be traded against stability.
Verify before committing
- WVTR data for the structure as supplied
- Seal integrity after forming and filling
- A line trial at production speed
