Abstract

The invention relates to a removable protective film (3) for plaster systems, in particular self-adhesive plaster systems, containing active substances, characterized in that it consists of a laminate constituted by a paper layer (7) and an abhesively coated polyester film (8).

Description

Detachable protective sheet for active ingredientcontaining, in particular self-adhesive plaster systems Active ingredient-containing plaster systems delivering active ingredients, in particular for delivering medicinal active ingredients to or through the human skin are becoming increasingly important because of their therapeutic advantages. They can be divided roughly into two classes, namely into the transdermal and the topical plaster systems. In the transdermal systems, the active ingredient is transported through the human or animal skin, and this active ingredient then has a systemic action. In topical plaster systems the aim is for the active ingredient preferably to act only in the tissue below the application site.
Both plaster systems are at least partly self-adhesive for attachment to the skin. In the simplest case, such systems (Fig. 1) consist of a backing layer, of a self-adhesive layer with active ingredient incorporated therein and of a detachable protecting layer.
In another embodiment, the systems have the form of a flat bag, with the rear side of the bag being impermeable for the active ingredient, and the side of the bag making contact with the skin being formed by a permeable membrane.
The active ingredient in such a system is present in the form of a liquid or semisolid formulation in the bag. The membrane is advantageously provided with an adhesive layer for attachment to the skin. It is also necessary with this embodiment shown in Fig. 2 for at least the adhesive areas to be covered before use with a detachable protective sheet. For it to be possible to detach the protective sheet from the system without damaging the latter and without exertion of great force, the sheet must be provided, at least on the side making contact with the plaster, with a special coating which, because of its abhesive property, ensures that the forces to separate the adhesive layer and 2 the protective sheet are not too large for practical use.
Thus, for all adhesives with the exception of silicone adhesives, thin silicone layers are usual and are applied to a suitable sheet material in a special process. Special fluorosilicone layers or fluorine-containing polymers can be used generally but are obligatory for silicone adhesives. There are furthermore special requirements to be met by the sheet material for active ingredient-containing plaster systems. Since with all these systems active ingredient-containing parts also come into contact with the sheet material, this material must be inert to all the important ingredients. This applies in particular to the active ingredient itself, but also to permeation-improving substances which are necessary in many cases in order to influence the barrier action of the human skin, and to plasticizers which are incorporated in the adhesive and have an effect on the adhesiveness of the systems on the skin.
The standard material employed for the protective sheet is therefore polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) for virtually all plaster systems. For silicone adhesives, in a few cases a sheet made of fluorine-containing polymers is also used, thus saving an additional abhesive coating.
These materials have virtually no uptake capacity for substances normally used as an ingredient of active ingredient-containing plaster systems. Materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene or paper are unsuitable in many cases because of their uptake capacity for such constituents of the system. For practical handling, but also for reasons related to manufacturing techniques, protective sheets must have a minimum thickness of about pm. This is a disadvantage because polyester is a relatively costly material by comparison with other materials mentioned above. This applies in particular to ~r 1. L ir-~-li L-- -3topical plaster systems, which may reach a size of 300 cm 2 and more.
The invention therefore seeks to provide an improved protective sheet for active ingredient-containing, in particular self-adhesive plaster systems, which, while having adequate mechanical strength, in impermeable to active ingredients and ancillary substances and distinctly reduces the costs for the polyester protective sheets used hitherto.
In one broad form the present invention provides a protective sheet which is a laminate of a paper layer and of an abhesively coated polyester sheet. It is ensured that the two layers hold together by using suitable adhesives. It was possible to show by appropriate stability tests with active ingredient-containing plaster systems that even very thin and therefore too thin for producing active ingredient-containing plasters and practical use thereof- polyester sheets, laminated onto paper, reliably prevent constituents of the systems from migrating into the paper, whose inertness is low. The paper layer merely serves for mechanical strengthening of the polyester sheet and, in this case, does not come into any contact with parts of the system.
i In this regard, one embodiment provides for the polyester sheet in the laminate being provided on its side which makes contact with the plaster system with a coating 20 which is abhesive for the particular adhesive. Preferred embodiments of the invention provide for the polyester sheet having a thickness between 5 and 30 tm, preferably between 10 and 20 pm, and the weight per unit area of the paper layer being 30 to 150, preferably 60 to 120, g/m 2 it being necessary that the total thickness be at least 50 pm.

Examples of embodiments of plaster systems are depicted in Figures 1-3, which show: Fig. 1: a section through a multilayer plaster system with a detachable protecting layer Fig. 2: a section through another multilayer plaster system with a detachable protecting layer Fig. 3: a section through the design according to the invention of the detachable protecting layer.
The plaster system shown in Fig. 1 comprises an active ingredient-impermeable backing layer underneath which there is a self-adhesive, active ingredient-containing matrix layer which is covered on the skin side with a detachable protecting layer Fig. 2 shows a plaster system with a different type of construction. This has, underneath a backing layer (1) which is impermeable for active ingredient and ancillary substances, an active ingredient-containing liquid reservoir with a control membrane to which a skin contact adhesive layer is assigned and which is covered by a detachable protecting layer Fig. 3 shows the design according to the invention of the protecting layer in the form of a laminate which consists of an abhesively coated polyester sheet and of a paper sheet The two sheets and are held together by using suitable adhesives.
5 Concerning the mechanical properties of the laminate no disadvantages by comparison with considerably thicker polyester sheets emerged in corresponding production tests.
The polyester sheet used may additionally be aluminized on one or both sides in addition to the abhesive finish.
This aluminization takes place by vapour deposition of the aluminium in vacuo and has the advantage that the abhesive finish or the adhesive which bonds the polyester sheet (8) to the paper layer adheres better to aluminium than to polyester itself. The thickness of the polyester sheet (8) can be between 5 and 50 um. The thickness of the paper layer necessarily depends on the particular circumstances. Tables 1, 2 and 3 show the results of stability studies with two different topical systems with the active ingredients ketoprofen, ibuprofen and ethylene glycol monosalicylate. The values in Table 1 and 2 prove that the contents of the plaster have remained unchanged over at least two years. Table 3 shows the amounts of ethylene glycol monosalicylate found after storage of the plasters for two years in a protective sheet according to the invention and compares them with the amounts which had migrated under the same storage conditions into a commercially available protective sheet based on a laminate of paper and siliconized polyethylene.
The results of the stability studies prove that the laminate on which the invention is based, made of paper and polyester sheet meets all stability requirements and is superior to the commercially available laminate made of paper and polyethylene sheet. It combines in an advantageous manner the superiority of the polyester in respect of its inertness with the economic advantages of paper sheets. With regard to its mechanical processability, there are no restrictions whatsoever by comparison with pure polyester sheets.
