Are you clinging to processes that cannot be changed? Please consider single-use enclosures that enable simple and safe pharmaceutical manufacturing.
ILC Dover's flexible enclosures elevate traditional concepts to a new level. They utilize reliable manufacturing technologies and proven containment design features used in the DoverPack family. Specifically, they offer a product lineup of flexible enclosures that can be adapted to a wide range of existing equipment, using the same proven containment design and processing techniques found in DoverPack family products. By using these enclosures, customization to fit existing manufacturing equipment is possible, saving customers time and costs while achieving containment of high-active materials at the nanogram level. All materials meet FDA standards and are designed to accommodate operator ergonomics for cGMP manufacturing. This means that operators can work in an environment as comfortable as putting on a dress shirt, leading to improved efficiency.

ILC Dover began its activities as the Primary Supplier of NASA's spacesuits and was established in the United States in 1947. As part of the company's mission, aptly named "Protecting People and Process," it is essential to "protect" astronauts due to the extremely hazardous space environment. At the same time, it is necessary to provide a comfortable working environment, and to achieve the seemingly contradictory goals of being durable yet easy to move in, the company has developed flexible and robust materials that are "soft yet strong." Based on this technology, approximately 25 years ago, ILC Dover collaborated with Eli Lilly to develop ArmorFlex film for contamination prevention in pharmaceutical active ingredient manufacturing, successfully applying it to single-use flexible enclosures. This film stretches over five times its original size, has high chemical resistance, and features static electricity suppression, making it a high-value product. In addition to enclosures, it has also been applied to powder-specific bags and is compliant with FDA regulations, leading to its adoption by many pharmaceutical manufacturing companies globally.
