The global Covid-19 pandemic has driven people to improve health and hygiene, and consumers have paid more attention to safe product packaging, including pharmaceuticals, which will increase the demand for aluminum foil for medicine packaging. According to Infiniti Research, the global aluminum foil packaging market is expected to grow to US$12.000 billion by 2025, with a five-year CAGR of approximately 4.07%.
Blister packaging has become an important part of the current pharmaceutical packaging market due to its advantages of good protection, convenient use, and light weight. Blister packaging, also known as PTP packaging, consists of two parts, namely hard plastic sheet with blisters and ptp aluminum foil.
Aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging is mainly 8011, 8021 and 8079 aluminum foil. The tempers are O, H14, H16, and H18. The product thickness range is 0.016-0.2mm. At present, it is widely used in ptp capsule medicine board, blister packaging, tropical blister packaging, pharmaceutical bottle caps and other fields.
The way to make pharmaceutical aluminum foil packaging is to print and coat the aluminum foil on a special machine. How to test its quality? There are several indicators: aluminum foil pinhole, burst strength, aluminum foil thickness tolerance, aluminum foil surface quality.
Take aluminum foil pinholes for example. PTP foil has a highly dense metal crystal structure, and theoretically a perfect aluminum foil can completely block any gas, water vapor and light. But in fact, due to the influence of many factors such as the rolling process used in the production of aluminum foil, the quality of rolling oil, the surface condition of rolling rolls, the process operation technology and the production site environment, aluminum foil, especially thin aluminum foil, inevitably has various defects.
Pinholes are one of the main ones. The size and quantity of pinholes are one of the important scales to measure the quality level of aluminum foil products. Haomei Aluminum is a big medicine aluminum foil manufacturer with mature technology. Welcome to leave message to inquire what you need.
