Medical aluminum foil, compared with safety and health

As a new type of pharmaceutical packaging, medicinal aluminum foil is appearing more and more in people's daily life.

Aluminium foil used abroad has been used for more than 60 years. Compared with developed countries, China's packaging aluminum is still at a relatively low level. According to media reports, the proportion of pharmaceutical packaging is estimated to increase by 2% each year. This year, packaging demand growth will reach 30.9%. We approximate it as the growth rate of medicinal aluminum foil. 

The main alloy of aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging?

8011—H18 medicinal foil and 8021—O cold-formed aluminum foil are representative products of medicinal aluminum foil.

Because of 8011-H18 medicinal foil, it is usually sealed on the back side of plastic packaging material. The laminated, printed, and glued aluminum foil is widely used as a packaging material. Therefore, it is required that the surface be clean, the color and luster is uniform, no plaque, and no pinholes. It has excellent moisture-proof performance, light-shielding and extremely high barrier ability, strong mechanical properties, high blast resistance, strong puncture and tear resistance. Non-toxic and tasteless, safe and hygienic.

8021—O cold-formed aluminum foil is used as a closed package after deep-drawing and pressing. Therefore, it has strong mechanical properties, high blasting resistance, strong puncture and tear resistance; excellent moisture resistance, light shielding and extremely high barrier ability; clean surface, uniform color, no spots, no oil stains, smooth and no pinholes Bacteria, mold and other tests, heavy metals do not exceed 0.25 parts per million, strict implementation of industry standards to ensure safety and health.

At present, the pharmaceutical aluminum foil produced by our company is widely used in daily life.
