Pharmaceutical packaging generally uses high-barrier materials, which are compounded and printed at a later stage. Aluminum foil has a highly dense metal crystal structure, which can isolate air and moisture, and has good light-shielding properties, blocking external interference factors. As a new way of packaging pharmaceuticals, medicinal aluminum foil is increasingly appearing in people's daily lives.
Most of the pharmaceutical packaging aluminum foils are 8011 aluminum foil, 8021 aluminum foil, and 8079 aluminum foil. Composite film for pharmaceutical packaging is one of the important categories of pharmaceutical packaging materials. It is mainly used for powders, granules, traditional Chinese medicine pieces, tablets, transdermal patches and Packaging of medical devices, etc.
The safety of medicinal aluminum foil is of vital importance. Its surface is required to be clean, uniform in color, free of spots, flat and pinhole-free, non-toxic and odorless, and strictly implement industry standards to ensure safety and hygiene. Medicinal aluminum foil products have excellent moisture-proof properties, light-shielding and high barrier capabilities, and strong mechanical properties.
Pharmaceutical packaging is the continuation of pharmaceutical production and the last process applied to pharmaceuticals. As packaging materials and containers that are in direct contact with pharmaceuticals, they are also an integral part of pharmaceuticals. With technological updates and market expansion, medicinal foils will usher in broader market opportunities.
