Specialty chemicals for best quality contact lens solutions: THE ULTIMATE GUIDE Eyes are probably the most sensitive part of the human body. All products coming in direct contact with them need to be manufactured with extreme care and precision. This is why choosing highly selected raw materials is the very first step to take in order to produce best quality liquid for contact lenses. Borates & Chelates are definitely essential in the formulation of these solutions. Their use is vital, as it ensure both quality and safety to the liquid. In this type of key niche applications, chemical additives like Borates and Chelates are definitely not just ingredients… they can actually make the difference. This is why every contact lens solutions manufacturer should keep on reading this brief guide and learn more on the importance of choosing high quality specialty chemicals instead of standard ones. SPECIALTY BORATES: THE BEST “BUFFER” TO STABILIZE THE PH LEVEL OF YOUR SOLUTIONS pH is one of the most crucial parameters to be monitored in the formulation of contact lens solutions. If the pH level is much different from the one of the tears, in fact, patients can feel a certain discomfort when putting the lens in, such as stinging sensations or irritations. The bigger the difference between the pH values and the tear film, the greater the reaction of the ocular environment. This is why the so called “buffers” additives are so essential in the formulation of contact lens solutions. Boric Acid and Sodium Borate are the most effective buffers used to maintain pH stable, preferably about 6.5 to 7.8. But not all Borates are equal! There’s a huge difference between commodities and Specialty Borates. Choosing high quality Borates will prevent any variation of the pH level in the solutions, so avoiding any unpleasant sensation to the patient. SPECIALTY CHELATES: YOUR BEST ALLY TO ENSURE SAFETY AND DURABILITY TO YOUR PRODUCT One of the top priorities of every contact Lens solutions manufacturer is to guarantee the product’s resistance and safety over time. This is why it is so important to include highly advanced Chelates in the solution. Chelates are called “sequestering chemical agents”: they bind metal ions preventing their chemical reaction and avoiding any kind of harmful deposit on the lens surface. Their antimicrobial action is able to enhance the overall disinfection of the lens. This is why high-quality Chelating agents effectively preserve the quality of the lenses and efficiently prevents annoying irritations to the patient.
