Pharmaceutical NY Alu PVC Cold Forming Foil
Pharmaceutical NY Alu PVC Cold Forming Foil is a high-performance packaging material widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, especially for single-dose blister packaging of medications. This aluminum foil is made of three layers of materials, each playing an important role to ensure the effective protection and stability of the medication.
Pharmaceutical NY Alu PVC Cold Forming Foil Structure Composition
a) Outer Layer: NY (Nylon) Layer
Function: The nylon layer is the outermost layer of the cold forming foil, providing excellent oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, and puncture resistance, effectively preventing oxygen, moisture, or chemicals from the external environment from penetrating.
Performance Characteristics:
Oxidation Resistance: Effectively prevents the oxidation of the medication during storage, protecting the active ingredients of the drug.
Corrosion Resistance: Strong resistance to moisture, acids, and alkalis, ensuring that the quality of the drug is not compromised.
Mechanical Strength: The nylon layer exhibits good tensile and tear resistance, ensuring the durability of the packaging.
b) Middle Layer: Aluminum (Alu) Layer
Function: The aluminum foil is the key layer of the cold forming foil, primarily providing gas impermeability and moisture resistance, isolating the external air, moisture, and light, thus protecting the stability of the medication.
Performance Characteristics:
Gas Impermeability: The aluminum foil provides a high degree of gas impermeability, preventing the entry of external air and preventing oxidation reactions.
Moisture Resistance: The aluminum foil effectively isolates water vapor, preventing moisture from affecting the medication, especially for moisture-sensitive drugs, offering important protection.
Light Protection: The aluminum foil layer also prevents light from affecting the drug, especially for light-sensitive drugs, extending their shelf life.
c) Inner Layer: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Layer
Function: The PVC layer is the innermost layer, mainly providing support and encapsulation functions, while also having good formability, allowing precise wrapping of the medication.
Performance Characteristics:
Formability: PVC has good thermal formability, allowing it to precisely wrap the medication according to its shape requirements during the production process.
Support: The PVC layer provides stable support, ensuring that the medication maintains its form after packaging and is not easily deformed.
Sealing: The PVC layer can form a seal with the aluminum foil and nylon layers during the cold forming process through appropriate sealing techniques, further ensuring the protection of the medication.
Pharmaceutical NY Alu PVC Cold Forming Foil Advantages
a) Excellent Protection
With its three-layer composite structure, the NY Alu PVC cold forming foil can effectively prevent the medication from exposure to moisture, oxidation, and light during storage and transportation, ensuring the quality and stability of the drug.
b) Extended Shelf Life of Medications
Due to its excellent barrier properties, this packaging material can effectively extend the shelf life of medications, maintaining their efficacy and safety. It is especially suitable for drugs sensitive to moisture, oxygen, or light, such as soft capsules, tablets, powders, and granules.
c) Suitable for Various Types of Medications
Pharmaceutical NY Alu PVC cold forming foil can be widely used to package different types of medications, especially suitable for single-dose packaging, meeting the requirements for pharmaceutical unit packaging, and is ideal for soft capsules, tablets, powders, and oral medications.
d) Safety and Hygiene
This aluminum-plastic cold forming foil is manufactured under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) standards, ensuring good hygiene safety and preventing the risk of the medication coming into contact with harmful substances. It is suitable for the strict quality requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.
e) Application of Cold Forming Technology
The cold forming technology used for aluminum foil and PVC materials enables them to precisely wrap the medication and form a seal, effectively avoiding material deformation or rupture that could be caused by high temperatures, ensuring the sealing and integrity of the packaging.
Pharmaceutical NY Alu PVC Cold Forming Foil Applications in Pharmaceutical Packaging
- Soft Capsules: Provides excellent gas impermeability and moisture resistance, keeping the contents of the capsules fresh.
- Tablets: Ensures the tablets are protected from moisture, oxidation, and light, preserving the efficacy of the medication.
- Granules: Ensures the stability of the granules after packaging, preventing external factors from interfering with their active ingredients.
- Liquid Medications: Some cold forming aluminum foil can be used for single-dose packaging of liquid medications, ensuring the sealing during the packaging process.
Pharmaceutical NY Alu PVC cold forming foil has good recyclability and can be reused under certain conditions, meeting the current environmental protection requirements and reducing the environmental burden of packaging waste.
Pharmaceutical NY Alu PVC cold forming foil is a multifunctional, high-performance pharmaceutical packaging material. Through its unique three-layer structure, it provides excellent protection, extends the shelf life of medications, and meets the high standards required by the pharmaceutical industry. Its good gas impermeability, moisture resistance, and oxidation resistance make it an ideal choice for packaging soft capsules, tablets, and other medications.
