8011 H18 Pharmaceutical Packaging Aluminum Foil

8011 H18 pharmaceutical packaging aluminum foil is a crucial covering material for pharmaceutical blister packaging (PTP packaging). Its excellent barrier properties, mechanical properties and safety make it widely used in the packaging of pharmaceutical tablets, capsules, pills and more.

Specifications of 8011 h18 aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging:

– Alloy Material:

8011 belongs to the 8000 series of aluminum alloys, primarily containing the elements Al-Fe-Si. This alloy exhibits significantly improved properties compared to pure aluminum foil, offering higher strength and excellent processability.

– H18 Temper:

This indicates the 8011 aluminum foil has undergone a work-hardening treatment, resulting in higher hardness and strength, meeting the mechanical requirements of pharmaceutical packaging during molding and encapsulation.

– Thickness:

Generally between 0.016-0.5mm.

– Width:

Typically 100-1700mm, with custom lengths available.

Key features of 8011 h18 pharmaceutical packaging aluminum foil:

– High Barrier Properties:

It effectively blocks oxygen, water vapor, and light, protecting pharmaceuticals from moisture, oxidation, and degradation. This is crucial for ensuring pharmaceutical stability and shelf life.

– Excellent Mechanical Properties:

The H18 state provides high mechanical strength, including high tensile and burst strength, and strong puncture and tear resistance. This effectively prevents pharmaceutical packaging aluminum foil from cracking or deforming during packaging, making it easy to process and transport using high-speed packaging machines.

– Excellent Sealing:

The highly dense metal crystal structure completely blocks gases, is pinhole-free, and offers excellent airtightness, effectively protecting pharmaceuticals from moisture, oxidation, and deterioration.

– High Heat Seal Strength:

Its heat-sealing properties facilitate bonding with materials such as pharmaceutical plastic polyvinyl chloride PVC sheets, creating a secure seal and ensuring the safety of pharmaceuticals during storage and transportation.

– Excellent Light Blocking:

Its inherent light blocking properties effectively block light, preventing pharmaceuticals from deteriorating due to light exposure and protecting their stability.

– Hygiene and Safety:

It is non-toxic and odorless, meeting pharmaceutical packaging hygiene requirements and typically passes rigorous heavy metal and microbial testing.

– Excellent Processing Adaptability:

The surface can be printed and coated, and exhibits excellent heat sealing properties with plastic sheets such as PVC and PVDC.

Main Applications:

– Pharmaceutical Blister Packaging (PTP)

Compounded with rigid sheets such as PVC PVDC, it is used for packaging tablets, capsules, pills, and more.

– Other Pharmaceutical Packaging

It can also be used to make pharmaceutical sealing gaskets, etc.

Selection Considerations:

– Surface Quality:

The surface must be clean, free of oil, scratches, and pinholes (or a minimal number of pinholes). Pinholes can significantly affect barrier properties.

– Flatness:

The aluminum foil roll should be flat, free of warping and wrinkling, to ensure smooth operation on high-speed packaging machines.

– Regulatory Compliance:

Ensure that the product complies with national pharmaceutical packaging material standards and relevant regulations. When purchasing, prioritize suppliers with comprehensive qualifications.

8011 H18 pharmaceutical packaging aluminum foil is the preferred material for pharmaceutical blister packaging due to its excellent barrier properties, compliance and processing performance. Its high strength and low ductility make it suitable for high-speed automated production, while strict hygiene and chemical stability standards ensure drug safety.
