Blister Foil Roll 800mm width 8011 Aluminum Coil for Pharmaceutical Packaging

Product Description:

 
8011 aluminum coil is a commonly used aluminum alloy in the pharmaceutical packaging industry. It has several properties that make it well-suited for this application. Here are some details about the use of 8011 aluminum coil for pharmaceutical packaging:
 
Purity and Safety: 8011 aluminum is a high-purity alloy with a minimum aluminum content of 99.0%. This ensures that the aluminum coil is free from impurities that could potentially contaminate the pharmaceutical products. It is considered safe for direct contact with medicines and pharmaceutical substances.
 
Barrier Properties: 8011 aluminum coil exhibits excellent barrier properties, particularly in terms of moisture, light, and oxygen. These barriers help protect the pharmaceutical products from moisture absorption, light degradation, and oxidation, which can affect their stability and efficacy.
 
Formability: 8011 aluminum coil offers good formability, allowing it to be easily formed into various shapes and sizes for pharmaceutical packaging. It can be rolled or shaped into blister packs, caps, closures, lids, and other packaging components.
 
Heat Sealability: 8011 aluminum coil has good heat sealability, which is essential for sealing the pharmaceutical packages. It can be heat-sealed to plastic films or coated papers, ensuring the integrity and tamper-evident nature of the packaging.
 
Printability: The surface of 8011 aluminum coil can be treated to enable high-quality printing. This is important for adding product information, branding, dosage instructions, and other necessary details on the packaging.
 
Lightweight and Cost-Effective: Aluminum is a lightweight material, and 8011 aluminum coil offers a good balance between strength and weight. This lightweight property helps reduce transportation costs and makes handling and storage of pharmaceutical packaging more convenient.
 
Recyclability: Like most aluminum alloys, 8011 aluminum coil is highly recyclable. It can be easily recycled and reused, contributing to sustainability and environmental conservation efforts.
 
Compliance with Regulations: 8011 aluminum coil used for pharmaceutical packaging typically meets relevant industry and regulatory standards, such as the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) requirements for pharmaceutical packaging materials.
 
It's important to note that specific requirements for pharmaceutical packaging may vary based on the type of medication, regulations in different countries or regions, and the specific needs of pharmaceutical manufacturers.
 
 
Here are some specific applications of 8011 aluminum coil in pharmaceutical packaging:
 
Blister Packaging: 8011 aluminum coil is widely used in blister packaging for tablets, capsules, and other solid dosage forms. Blister packs consist of a plastic or aluminum blister (cavity) that holds the individual doses of medication and a backing material typically made from 8011 aluminum coil. The aluminum blister provides a barrier against moisture, light, and oxygen while offering excellent heat sealability to ensure product integrity and tamper-evidence.
 
Strip Packaging: Strip packaging, also known as strip packs or strip foils, is a popular packaging format for solid oral dosage forms, such as tablets and capsules. It involves sealing individual doses of medication in narrow strips made from 8011 aluminum coil. The strip packaging provides protection against moisture, light, and physical damage while allowing for convenient unit-dose dispensing.
 
Sachets and Pouches: 8011 aluminum coil is used to create sachets and pouches for packaging granules, powders, or liquid medications. The aluminum foil is laminated with other materials to form a multi-layer structure that offers moisture resistance, barrier protection, and sealability. Sachets and pouches are commonly used for single-dose or multi-dose packaging.
 
Caps and Closures: 8011 aluminum coil is employed in the production of aluminum caps and closures for pharmaceutical bottles and containers. These closures provide a secure seal to prevent contamination and maintain product freshness. The aluminum caps can be printed with branding, dosage instructions, and other information.
 
Ampoules and Vials: Ampoules and vials used for injectable medications often utilize 8011 aluminum coil for their sealing purposes. The aluminum seals, also known as flip-off seals, are crimped onto the glass ampoules or vials to ensure sterility and product integrity.
 
Parenteral Bags: 8011 aluminum coil is sometimes used as a layer in the construction of parenteral bags or IV bags. These bags are used for the sterile storage and administration of intravenous fluids and medications. The aluminum layer provides a barrier against light and oxygen to maintain the stability and efficacy of the contents.
 
It's important to note that the specific application of 8011 aluminum coil in pharmaceutical packaging may vary based on the packaging requirements, regulations, and the preferences of pharmaceutical manufacturers. Customization, such as printing, embossing, or laminating with other materials, is also common to meet specific branding and technical needs.
