Aluminium Foil for Food and Pharmaceutical Packaging

The proportion of applications in the food field ranks first in the aluminum foil packaging application market. In 1911, starting from the first use of aluminum foil to package chocolate by a Swiss candy company, developed countries in Europe and the United States began to widely use aluminum foil for wrapping food.

In the 1930s, aluminum foil also completely occupied the European butter and cheese packaging market. At that time, research showed that aluminum foil packaging could extend the shelf life of butter by two to three months.

The new household foil is ultra-thin at 0.0063mm, which can be ultra-thinly attached to food to keep it fresh longer. Food, fruits and vegetables wrapped in ultra-thin household foil can be placed in the refrigerator to effectively reduce water loss by up to 89.3%, and keep them fresher.

Household consumption is the main area of terminal consumption. Expanding the promotion and application of household aluminum foil products can help replace plastic packaging products, accelerate the process of plastic reduction and elimination, and promote green and environmentally friendly lifestyles and consumption patterns.

Aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging includes PTP packaging, strip packaging, aluminum-plastic combination bottle caps, aluminum-plastic sealing gaskets, and double aluminum packaging. Among them, ptp packaging is its main application. It has the advantages of moisture-proof, hygienic, safe, and convenient, and has become a new type of pharmaceutical packaging method widely used internationally.

The core value of PTP aluminum foil lies in its moisture-proof and oxygen-proof properties. Thanks to the dense structure and excellent barrier properties of the aluminum material itself, PTP aluminum foil can effectively prevent moisture and oxygen from penetrating, thereby ensuring that the drugs are protected from moisture and oxidation during storage and transportation, maintaining stable efficacy and extending the shelf life of the drugs.

This feature is particularly important for drugs that are sensitive to humidity and oxygen, such as biological agents, easily decomposable drugs, or tablets and capsules containing water-soluble ingredients. It is a key barrier to ensure patient medication and accurate curative effect.

Drugs may deteriorate, degrade, or cause adverse chemical reactions under light conditions, especially ultraviolet irradiation. PTP aluminum foil has excellent light blocking properties, especially its shielding effect on ultraviolet rays.

Its metallic luster outer layer is like a solid protective shield, which can effectively block the penetration of most visible light and ultraviolet rays, protect drugs from photodegradation, ensure the integrity of the drug's molecular structure and the stability of its efficacy, and further ensure drug quality.
