Tablet Packaging Foil

Tablet packaging foil is a kind of composite packaging material used for tablets and pills package, it usually made as blister packaging and strip packaging. 8011 aluminum foil is common used for tablets packaging, the temper include H18, etc. These tempers indicate the degree of work-hardening and the annealed state of the aluminium foil, which have a significant impact on the mechanical properties and formability of the tablet aluminum foil. For tablet packaging, the thickness of 8011 aluminum foil is generally in the range of 0.016-0.04mm, a thickness range that provides good barrier properties and appropriate mechanical strength. Different thicknesses of aluminum foil can provide different protective and barrier properties.

Aluminum foil is often laminated with other materials to improve the functionality and performance of the tablet package. Common aluminum foil composite materials include:

– Polyethylene (PE): Aluminum foil laminated with polyethylene can improve the sealing and moisture resistance of the package, which is suitable for long-term storage of pharmaceutical packaging.

– Polyester (PET): Aluminum foil laminated with polyester can improve the strength and abrasion resistance of the package, which is suitable for pharmaceutical packaging that requires durability and protective properties.

– Nylon (NY): Aluminum foil laminated with nylon can improve the heat resistance and puncture resistance of the package, suitable for high temperature sterilization of drug packaging.

Aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging is mainly used to provide good barrier performance and protection performance to protect tablets from the external environment. Aluminum packaging has the following features and advantages:

• Barrier performance: aluminum foil has excellent barrier performance, which can effectively isolate oxygen, water vapor, light and other harmful substances through, to avoid drugs from moisture, oxygen or deterioration.
• Protection: Aluminum foil has good anti-shock and heat-resistant performance, which can effectively protect the drugs from external impact and high temperature environment.
• Sealing performance: aluminum foil packaging can provide good sealing performance, effectively preventing the drugs from being dyed and the invasion of external organisms, to maintain the quality and safety of the drugs.
• Corrosion resistance: aluminum foil has good corrosion resistance, not easily affected by the erosion of chemicals, and can hold the integrity and stability of the packaging.
• Recyclability: Aluminum foil is a kind of recyclable material, which is conducive to environmental protection and resource recycling.

Generally speaking, the use of tablet packaging foil can effectively improve the protection performance, barrier performance and durability of the package, and ensure the quality and safety of drugs. The selection of suitable aluminum foil packaging materials can be made according to specific needs and product characteristics to meet the requirements of different drug packaging.
