Aluminum Foil For Drug Packaging

Medical packaging generally uses high barrier materials, which are formed through later-stage composite and printing processes. Aluminum foil has a highly dense metallic crystalline structure, which can isolate air and moisture, and has good light blocking properties, blocking external interference factors. Aluminum foil for drug packaging is increasingly appearing in people’s daily lives as a new type of pharmaceutical packaging material.

Drug packaging aluminum foil is mainly made of 8011 aluminum foil, 8021 aluminum foil, and 8079 aluminum foil. Alloy state: H18, thickness range: 0.016-0.04mm, width range: 100-1650mm. Composite film for pharmaceutical packaging is one of the important categories of pharmaceutical packaging materials, and it is mainly used for the packaging of pills, capsules, powders, granules, traditional Chinese medicine slices, tablets, transdermal patches and medical devices.

The safety of medicine aluminum foil is of vital importance. It is required to have a clean surface, uniform color, no spots, no pinholes, non-toxic and odorless, and strictly comply with industry standards to ensure safety and hygiene. Medicinal aluminum foil products have excellent moisture resistance, light blocking, and high barrier properties, as well as strong mechanical performance.

Pharmaceutical packaging is a continuation of drug production and the final process imposed on drugs. As packaging materials and containers that directly contact drugs, they are also organic components of drugs. With technological updates and market expansion, aluminum foil for drug packaging will encounter broader market opportunities.
