Pharmaceutical packaging materials are an important part of pharmaceutical packaging. Aluminum foil is one of the commonly used materials, with sealing, barrier and light resistance. The thickness of aluminum foil is one of the key indicators that determine its performance and use. There are standards in the field of pharmaceutical packaging that specify the thickness range of aluminum foil to ensure the quality and safety of pharmaceutical packaging.

At present, the commonly used aluminum foil thickness standards for pharmaceutical packaging aluminum foil in the world mainly include the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP). According to the European Pharmacopoeia, the thickness of pure aluminum foil used for pharmaceutical packaging is generally 0.020-0.060mm, while the United States Pharmacopoeia stipulates that the thickness range of aluminum foil is 0.020-0.025mm. As a raw material manufacturer of aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging, MC Aluminum provides aluminum foil with a thickness range of 0.020mm to 0.045mm. The surface of the 8011 aluminum foil, 8021 aluminum foil, etc. produced should be flat and smooth, without scratches, indentations, dents and other defects. In addition, the surface coating of the aluminum foil should be uniform, continuous, without bubbles, peeling and other phenomena.

Performance advantages of aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging:

1. It has excellent barrier properties and can protect drugs from moisture, light, oxygen and other pollutants.

2. Appropriate thickness can protect drugs during storage and transportation, and prevent external factors from affecting product quality.

3. Suitable for different packaging forms, easy to form and seal.

4. High-quality printing of information, brands and instructions.

5. The use of aluminum foil can prevent drugs from being tampered with, ensure product integrity and consumer confidence.

6. Aluminum foil can be recycled and reused to reduce the impact on the environment and promote a circular economy.

Aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging is an emerging industry widely used in pharmaceutical tablets, capsules and other pharmaceutical packaging. It is gradually made into customer-satisfied products through printing, coating, winding, slitting, inner and outer packaging and other process according to customer requirements.
