Arun Varshneya Email and Phone Number

Dr. Arun Varshneya, president and CEO of the company, is an educator and entrepreneur who has over 45 years' experience in research on ion exchange strengthening, and has authored several key publications and patents dealing with the process. The company has grown in several areas where strengthened glass provides a more reliable and safe approach to product application. The scientific and engineering staff at Saxon understands the technical issues in producing consistent high-strength glasses and have developed processes for "optimized" ion exchange through which the time and cost of strengthening can be significantly reduced.Most recently, SaxonGlass has been providing glass specific to Covid-19 vaccine storage needs. About Sumo™:Glass Medical VialsRapid strengthening provides roughly 75% increase in crush-strength. Risk of glass fracture during medicine filling and transportation is reduced from around 2% to less than 0.01%, thereby reducing the loss of expensive life-saving medicines.DetailsSumo Glass Vial- Made of Type 1A sodium borosilicate "neutral" glass.- Composition is resistant to fluid attack with a proven track record in parenterals since 1953.- The preferred glass in billions of medicine vials.- Strengthened glass composition has been approved by FDA for use in EpiPen autoinjectors to contain epinephrine.- Strong resistance to thermal shock.- Withstands rapid immersion in liquid nitrogen (-195°C).- Unlike plastic containers, glass is nearly impervious to atmospheric oxygen that would otherwise degrade a contained medicine.- Does not have any (carcinogenic) sintering chemical agents typical of plastic container processing.- Does not show significant leaching of aluminum ions that may interfere with kidney function.- Chemically strengthened to 75% above the normal glass strengths.- Resists glass fracture during filling and transportation.- Greatly reduces loss of expensive vaccine.
