SiO2 Materials Science

SiO2 Materials Science is a primary packaging company specializing in pharmaceutical and biotech containment solutions. The company manufactures pre-filled syringes, vials, and blood collection tubes coated with its proprietary vyterial™ coating technology—a glass-polymer hybrid material protected by over 300 patents and 8,000 patent claims. The vyterial coating combines the barrier properties of glass with the durability and sustainability of polymers, eliminating traditional issues including silicone oil contamination, drug interactions, breakage, extractables/leachables, metals, needle glue, and gas permeation. SiO2's product line supports pharmaceutical formulations across a wide pH range and is designed for safe drug distribution in liquid and lyophilized applications. The company operates vertically integrated, digitally enabled manufacturing facilities in Auburn, Alabama, serving pharma and biotech customers globally. Core offerings include vyterial-coated syringes, vials, the Synergy blood collection tube system, and custom primary packaging applications. SiO2 has gained recognition in vaccine distribution and cold-chain pharmaceutical packaging, with press coverage in major outlets including WSJ and Wired. The company positions itself as delivering the first step-change innovation in pharmaceutical packaging in over 50 years.
