Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Alloy 8011 – Industry Standard for Blister Foil: Our foil is made from 8011 aluminum alloy, which is specifically formulated for cold-forming and heat-seal applications. It offers excellent ductility and puncture resistance, making it ideal for deep-draw blister cavities without cracking.
- 20 Micron Precision Thickness: The uniform 0.020mm thickness ensures consistent barrier performance and easy processing on high-speed blister packaging machines. Tolerance is maintained within ±5% to guarantee reliable sealing.
- Superior Barrier Protection: Aluminum foil provides an almost complete barrier against moisture, oxygen, light, and microorganisms. This helps extend the shelf life of sensitive pharmaceutical products and maintains their efficacy.
- Heat-Seal Coating Option: We offer optional heat-seal lacquer (PVC/PVDC compatible) on one side to enable secure bonding with blister film. The coating is applied uniformly and complies with pharmaceutical safety standards.
- Clean & Non-Toxic: The foil is manufactured under strict cleanroom conditions, free from oil, grease, and residual contaminants. It is odorless and tasteless, ensuring no impact on the packaged medication.
- Customizable Width & Roll Size: Available in widths from 100mm to 1200mm, and roll lengths tailored to your packaging requirements. Each roll is wound with controlled tension to prevent telescoping.
