SP24-232CHEMICALLY DURABLE ALUMINOSILICATE GLASS COMPOSITIONS AND GLASS ARTICLES FORMED THEREFROMCROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 63 / 689,251 filed on August 30, 2024, the content of which is relied upon and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.Field
[0002] The present specification generally relates to aluminosilicate glass compositions and, in particular, to chemically durable aluminosilicate glass compositions and glass articles formed therefrom.Technical Background
[0003] Historically, glass has been used as the preferred material for packaging pharmaceuticals because of its hermeticity, optical clarity, and excellent chemical durability relative to other materials. Specifically, the glass used in pharmaceutical packaging must have adequate chemical durability (e.g., base resistance greater than -175 mg / dm2, as measured according to ISO 695) so as not to affect the stability of the pharmaceutical composition contained therein. Glasses having suitable chemical durability include alumino-borosilicate glasses.
[0004] It has been found that alumino-borosilicate glass having a relatively high concentration of (e.g., about 10 mol% B2O3) may demonstrate a propensity for delamination. While using an aluminosilicate glass lacking B2O3 may reduce or eliminate delamination, an ion exchange process may need to be completed such that the aluminosilicate glass meets chemical durability requirements, which complicates manufacturing.
[0005] Accordingly, a need exists for glass compositions which exhibit chemical durability for use in pharmaceutical packaging.SUMMARY

Specific embodiments (i.e., low B2O3 embodiments, low AI2O3 embodiments, and ZrCh embodiments) may be referred to throughout the present disclosure. When a specific embodiment is not identified, the feature may be applicable to any embodiments described herein.
[0095] As described herein, glasses having suitable chemical durability (e.g., base resistance greater than -175 mg / dm2, as measured according to ISO 695) for pharmaceutical packagingSP24-232 include alumino-borosilicate glasses. However, it has been found that alumino-borosilicate glass having a relatively high concentration of (e.g., about 10 mol% B2O3) may demonstrate a propensity for delamination. While using an aluminosilicate glass lacking B2O3 may reduce or eliminate delamination, an ion exchange process may need to be completed such that the aluminosilicate glass meets chemical durability requirements, which complicates manufacturing.
[0096] Disclosed herein are glass compositions which mitigate the aforementioned problems. Specifically, the glass compositions disclosed herein comprise relatively low concentrations of B2O3 and AI2O3 and a relatively high concentration of SiCh, which results in glass articles having sufficient chemical durability (e.g., greater than -175 mg / dm2, as measured according to ISO 695) such that the glass compositions may be used in pharmaceutical packaging.

The concentration of SiCh in the glass composition should be sufficiently high to provide basic glass forming capability and chemical durability. The amount of SiCh may be limited to control the melting point of the glass composition and, thus, may aid in improving the meltability and the formability of the resulting glass article.

[0139] The glass compositions described herein may further comprise one or more additional metal oxides to further improve the chemical durability of the resultant glass article. Specifically, additions of one or more of ZrCh, TiCh, Y2O3, La2Os, and CeCh may further increase the chemical durability of the resultant glass article, particularly with respect to the chemical durability of the glass in basic solutions. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the addition of one or more of ZrCh, TiCh, Y2O3, La2C>3, and CeCh improves the properties of the glass by enhancing the functionality of AI2O3 in the glass composition. As noted herein, additions of AI2O3 to the glass composition improve the chemical durability of the glass. With respect to chemicalSP24-232 durability, it is believed that additions of AI2O3 to the glass composition reduce the amount of nonbridging oxygen in the glass, which, in turn, improved the chemical durability of the glass. However, if the amount of AI2O3 in the glass composition is too high, the resistance of the glass composition to acid attack is diminished. Including one or more of ZrCh, TiCh, Y2O3, La2C>3, and CeCh, in addition to AI2O3, further reduces the amount of non-bridging oxygen in the glass composition, which, in turn, further improves the chemical durability of the glass beyond that achievable by additions of AI2O3 alone.
