A new field of aluminum foil for packaging

Aluminum foil is the main product in the field of pharmaceutical packaging. Aluminum foil has the very good oxidation resistance, there is a density of surface layer of the aluminum oxide film that is good to stop the contact with oxygen, which has good corrosion resistance, so as to ensure the integrity of the drug and non-toxic tasteless. Aluminum foil has special advantages compared with easy corrosion polyethylene plastic film packaging that is widely used in earlier years, and therefore aluminum foil is widely used for pharmaceutical packaging.

Another advantage of using aluminum foil in drug packaging is to make the drug particles be packaged separately, that is when open one, it will be not affecting other drugs, so as to ensure the drug’s efficacy.

8011 aluminum foil is the main alloy used in medical packaging. 8011 aluminum foil has excellent moisture-proof performance, shading performance and high barrier performance, non-toxic, tasteless, safe and hygienic. It is widely used in the packaging of various medicine capsules, tablets and granule after compound, printing and coating.

What is more, aluminum foil is particularly suitable for blister packs because of its range of mechanical properties. Depending on the alloy and its treatment, aluminum foil can be made more brittle, tougher or more ductile. It can also be combined with other materials like paper or plastics. Most blister packs consist of a preformed plastic tray with an aluminium foil closure manufactured to facilitate the necessary 'push-through' characteristic. A recent development is the all-aluminium blister pack.
