Alu alu bottom foil for pharma packaging

The main application products of Alu alu bottom foil for pharma packaging are 8000 Serie Aluminiumlegierungen, wéi z 8011, 8021, an 8079, which are used in capsules, Pëllen, and granules. With the development of the pharmaceutical industry, people’s requirements for medicinal packaging aluminum foil are getting higher and higher, because the quality of aluminum foil is related to the medicinal properties of drugs, and also directly affects people’s health. The pharmaceutical aluminum foil should have good moisture resistance, Barrière Eegeschafte, chemical resistance, chemical stability, and hygiene. Appearance and quality requirements are also getting higher and higher, and the national standards for pharmaceutical packaging materials are becoming more and more strict.

Alu alu bottom foil for pharma packaging requirements

Alu alu bottom foil has strict production regulations on the pinhole density, adhesive strength, and protective layer adhesion of the aluminum foil layer as medicinal packaging. During the production process, the heavy metal content in the medicinal aluminum foil shall not exceed 0.25% of the product weight. Only in this case can the finished medicinal packaging material be non-toxic, geschmaachtlos, sécher, an hygienesch. It is for this reason that 8011 aluminum foil is often used as the bottom foil of medical aluminum foil.
