Among these pharmaceutical packaging materials, some packaging materials are plastic, some are paper, and some are aluminum foil packaging. If you look closely, you will find that most of these pharmaceutical packaging materials are packaged with aluminum blister foil.

Although there are many kinds of pharmaceutical packaging materials, the aluminum foil material has the best effect on the drug effect. Aluminum foil materials have been used as packaging materials for pharmaceuticals for a long time. With the continuous development of the pharmaceutical industry, medicinal aluminum foil is very popular in the pharmaceutical industry due to its moisture resistance, chemical resistance, and excellent chemical stability. During this period, there are a variety of medicinal packaging aluminum foils that are most common to us.

In our daily life, most pharmaceutical packaging is processed with aluminum foil. What are the products of medicinal aluminum foil?

There are currently two types of medicinal foil materials on the market, mainly 8011 medicinal aluminum foil and 8021 medicinal aluminum foil.
The aluminum foil used for pharmaceutical packaging usually includes the following: PTP aluminum foil, aluminum cold forming alu alu foil, aluminum-plastic composite material, aluminum strip foil, tropical blister foil, medicine pvc pvc/pvdc, medicine bottle cap foil. These types of medicinal aluminum foil have different characteristics according to the processing technology and the added alloy material.

PTP aluminum foil: Also known as medicinal board aluminum foil or capsule aluminum foil, it is formed by pressing to form a blister. Mainly made of 8011-H18 or 8011-O aluminum foil. Thickness within 0.016 to 0.04 mm.

Alu alu foil: Also known as the cold-forming medicinal foil. It is mainly made of 8021-O aluminum foil, which is processed by a cold forming process. Alu alu foil for pharma has very good properties, especially ultra-high barrier properties. Alu alu foil is generally used for high-end and tightly sealed moisture-proof and light-shielding pharmaceutical packaging. The thickness is 0.04-0.065mm.

Aluminum strip foil: Also named easy-tear aluminum, also known as soft double aluminum, has good steam resistance, oxygen resistance, UV resistance, and fragrance resistance.

Tropical blister foil: Tropical aluminum blister packaging is a packaging form specially developed to enhance the barrier performance of aluminum-plastic blister packaging adds a layer of cold-pressed aluminum foil to the outside of thermoformed plastic blister and PTP foil, the highest end of the pharmaceutical packaging Wrap in aluminum foil. 8021-O foil and 8079-O foil are two common choices.

Medicine pvc pvc/pvdc: Medicinal pvc can be used to make tablets, capsules, and medicine packaging. General Thickness: 0.15—0.50mm, Width: 60-900mm.

Aluminum foil for medicine bottle caps: Also known as an aluminum foil for medicine bottle cap materials. It is mainly made of 8011-H14 aluminum foil or 8011-H16 aluminum foil. It is widely used in bottled liquids such as oral liquids for medicine, antibiotics, and infusions.

With the advancement of technology, the application of aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging will further increase, and there will be more opportunities in the market of pharmaceutical aluminum foil packaging.
