10.6mm silicone plugs pharmaceutical rubber stopper

The 10.6mm silicone plugs provide a nominal size reference for a custom stopper design. For a pharmaceutical closure project, the nominal dimension is only one part of the specification. The mating opening, insertion profile and intended processing conditions must be defined for the particular application.

Identify what the 10.6 mm measurement refers to before selecting the part. Check the head, inserted section and usable depth separately, including any taper or internal shoulder in the container. A plug can match one diameter while leaving an unsuitable contact pattern elsewhere in the closure.

Material and geometry can be customized by ETOL. Requirements related to the intended contents, cleaning, sterilization or repeated access need to be established for the supplied formulation and finished closure. Evaluate closure integrity and material contact through the intended processing, storage and use conditions before finalizing the supplied configuration.

Evaluate the fit on representative mating components under the project's defined conditions. Examine the stopper after insertion and removal for cuts, distortion or incomplete seating. Handle samples according to the application's cleanliness requirements, keeping development parts distinct from any approved production components. Record the accepted closure dimensions and material together so a later replacement does not rely solely on the nominal size.
