Currently, there are three main types of aluminum foil used for pharmaceutical packaging: 8079 aluminum foil, 8021 aluminum foil, and 8011 aluminum foil. The most commonly used is 8011 aluminum foil.
Aluminum Foil Type | Alias | Thickness Range | Main Components | Main Characteristics | Application Fields |
8011 | PTP Aluminum Foil | 0.016 - 0.04 mm | Silicon, Manganese, Iron | High strength, good corrosion resistance | Pharmaceutical packaging (capsules, blister pack backs), bottle caps for liquid medicines (e.g., antibiotics, infusion bottle caps) |
8021 | Aluminum Blister Foil | 0.04 - 0.065 mm | Silicon, Manganese, Iron | Excellent light-blocking and moisture-proof properties | Light-sensitive medications, moisture-proof medication packaging |
8079 | - | 0.018 - 0.05 mm | Silicon, Manganese, Iron | High ductility and tear resistance, higher price | Food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, and other high-end applications |
