Understanding of aluminum foil alloy

What is aluminum foil? Aluminum foil is a thin, versatile metal foil sheet made of aluminum. Aluminum products with a thickness less than 0.2mm are usually called aluminum foil. As a kind of aluminum rolled material, aluminum foil has the advantages of moisture-proof, air-tight, light-shielding, abrasion resistance, fragrance retention, non-toxic and tasteless. It also has an elegant silver-white luster and is easy to process into beautiful patterns and patterns of various colors. Therefore, aluminum foil is widely used in packaging, household, home appliances, electronic communications, transportation, printing, chemical industry, building materials, decoration and other industries.

Application of aluminum foil in pharmaceutical packaging

Aluminum foil has the advantages of high barrier and light weight, so it is also widely used in the packaging of medicinal products. Pharmaceutical aluminum foil is an aluminum foil material specially used for pharmaceutical packaging. Aluminum foil medicine is mainly composed of aluminum foil and plastic film. Aluminum foil is a metal material with good barrier properties and protective effects, which can effectively prevent the effects of sunlight, moisture and oxygen on medicines. Plastic films are usually made of polyethylene, polypropylene and other materials, which have good flexibility and sealing properties.
