Characteristics of 20mic thick aluminum foil in pharmaceutical packaging

Aluminum foil is one of the few metal alloys that can be used for packaging. In addition to being widely used in food packaging, it can also be used as a packaging material in medicines.
Aluminum foil as a pharmaceutical packaging material generally has a thickness of 15-40mic. The common pharmaceutical packaging thicknesses are 15 mic aluminum foil, 20 mic aluminum foil, 25 mic aluminum foil, and 30 mic aluminum foil.

Aluminum foil 20mic is a widely used specification.

20micron aluminum foil has excellent barrier properties for pharmaceutical packaging, protecting drugs from moisture, light, oxygen and other environmental factors that may degrade their quality.
Here are some properties of 20 micron (mic) thick aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging:

Strong barrier properties: Aluminum foil provides an excellent barrier against moisture, gas and light, ensuring the stability and efficacy of pharmaceutical products.

Uniform Thickness: 20 micron thickness provides adequate protection while still being flexible enough to allow for easy handling and forming into a variety of packaging configurations.

High Strength: Although 20mic aluminum foil is thin, it has good strength and tear resistance, helping to prevent damage during handling, transportation and storage.

Good compatibility: Aluminum foil is compatible with a variety of pharmaceutical formulations, including solid dosage forms such as tablets and capsules, as well as liquid and semi-solid formulations.

Heat-sealable: Aluminum foil can be heat-sealed to a variety of substrates, such as plastic, paper or laminate, creating a secure and tamper-proof seal that protects the integrity of packaged products.

Printability: Aluminum Foil 20mic can be easily printed with product information, branding and other relevant details using a variety of printing technologies including flexo and rotogravure.

Versatility: Aluminum foil can be used in different types of pharmaceutical packaging, including blister packs, sachets, sachets and strips, offering versatility in packaging design and formats.

Light-shielding properties: Aluminum foil has excellent light-shielding properties, which can effectively block the impact of light on medicines and prevent medicines from deteriorating or reducing their efficacy due to light exposure.

Barrier properties: Aluminum foil has excellent barrier properties against air, moisture and other external factors, helping to keep medicines dry and stable.

Insolubility: Aluminum foil will not dissolve in drugs, avoiding contamination or changes in drug efficacy caused by dissolution.

Corrosion resistance: The aluminum foil material has excellent corrosion resistance and will not react with the chemical components in the medicine, thus ensuring the purity and safety of the medicine.

Aluminum foil with a thickness of 20 microns performs well in pharmaceutical packaging. It has excellent physical properties, chemical properties, hygienic properties and processing properties, making it an ideal choice for pharmaceutical packaging.
