Pharmaceutical aluminum foil plays a crucial role in the safe and efficient packaging of medicines. It serves as a protective barrier, which preserves the quality, integrity, and effectiveness of pharmaceutical products.
Applications
Extensive application in the pharmaceutical industry, primarily in the following areas:
Blister Foil Packaging: Commonly used as the primary packaging material for blister packs. It provides exceptional barrier properties against light, moisture, oxygen, and other external factors.
Strip Pack Foil: Widely utilized for unit-dose packaging of tablets, capsules, and other solid dosage forms. The strip packs are convenient and ensure easy access to individual doses, while the aluminum foil maintains product integrity and extends shelf life.
Cold Forming Foil: Employed in the production of cold-formed blisters, which require high barrier protection against moisture, gases, and light. This specialized foil is ideal for moisture-sensitive medications.
Advantages
Barrier Protection: Acts as an impermeable barrier, shielding the medicines from moisture, oxygen and UV radiation.
Temperature Stability: Aluminum foil can withstand a wide temperature range, ensuring the stability and protection of pharmaceutical products during storage and transportation.
Easy Printability: Allowing for high-quality printing and labeling, enabling clear identification of medicines, dosage instructions, and other essential information.
Customizability: Customized to meet specific requirements, including different thicknesses, widths, and colors.
