ilicone elastomer complying with the following requirements is suitable for the manufacture of closures and tubing. Silicone elastomer is obtained by cross-linking a linear polysiloxane constructed mainly of dimethylsiloxy units with small quantities of methylvinylsiloxy groups; the chain ends are blocked by trimethylsiloxy or dimethylvinylsiloxy groups.

Materials based on non-plasticised poly(vinyl chloride) that comply with the following specifications are suitable for the manufacture of containers for non-injectable aqueous solutions. They may also be used for solid forms for oral administration and in some cases, subject to special studies on the compatibility of the container with its contents, these materials may be suitable for the preparation of containers for suppositories. They consist of 1 or more poly(vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate) or of a mixture of poly(vinyl chloride) and poly(vinyl acetate) or of poly(vinyl chloride).

Polyethylene terephthalate is obtained from the polymerisation of terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol. Isophthalic acid, dimethyl isophthalate, 1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane (cyclohexane-1,4-dimethanol) or diethylene glycol may be used in the polymerisation. It may contain not more than 0.5 per cent of silica or silicates and colouring matter approved by the competent authority.
