Pharmaceutical PTP Aluminum Foil is a core material in the pharmaceutical packaging field. This material uses 8011-H18 aluminum alloy as the base, offering both high formability and precise heat-sealing strength, making it suitable for blister packaging of solid dosage forms like tablets and capsules.
Composition of PTP Aluminum Foil
Pharmaceutical-grade PTP aluminum foil typically consists of aluminum foil combined with materials like Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Polyvinylidene Chloride (PVDC), or other materials. The specific lamination structure can vary based on different needs. Here are common lamination structures:
Aluminum Foil + PVC/PVDC: This structure offers excellent gas barrier properties and is widely used for storing drugs at low and room temperatures. The PVC layer provides flexibility and good formability, while the aluminum foil layer provides strong barrier protection.
Aluminum Foil + PET: This composite structure offers higher strength and better printability on the surface, making it suitable for packaging that requires resistance to compression, tension, and high-strength demands.
Aluminum Foil + Silicone Coating: Some PTP aluminum foils are coated with a silicone layer to enhance their slip properties, preventing tablets or capsules from sticking to the foil.

Advantages of Pharmaceutical Grade PTP Aluminum Foil
1.Excellent Moisture Resistance: The high sealing properties of aluminum foil ensure that the packaged drugs are not affected by moisture or humidity, effectively preventing degradation.
2.Strong Oxidation Resistance: Aluminum foil effectively blocks oxygen, preventing drugs from oxidizing, which could alter their composition or reduce effectiveness.
3.Light Barrier Properties: PTP aluminum foil can effectively block UV rays and visible light, preventing drugs from degrading due to light exposure.
4.Anti-Counterfeiting: PTP aluminum foil can incorporate anti-counterfeiting features, such as printing anti-counterfeit labels or using special coatings, enhancing the safety of the product.
5.Ease of Use: Patients can easily tear open the foil to access the medication, increasing convenience for medication use.
6.Aesthetically Pleasing: The surface can be printed with beautiful designs and text, improving the product's appearance and brand image.
7.Environmentally Friendly: Aluminum foil is recyclable, aligning with modern green and sustainable practices.
Applications of PTP Pharmaceutical Aluminum Foil
Pharmaceutical Packaging: Packaging for solid dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, and granules.
Medical Device Packaging: Packaging for products like fever patches and medical dressings.
Health Supplement Packaging: Packaging for vitamins, minerals, and other dietary supplements.
