AL9656 Aluminum Foil for Food and Pharmaceutical Packaging

Aluminium Foil for Food and Pharmaceutical Packaging Description

Aluminium Foil for Food and Pharmaceutical Packaging is a thin metal sheet created from precisely controlled 1235 and 8011 Aluminium Alloys. The foil exhibits low permeability to moisture and gases, making it effective as a barrier material that maintains the integrity of packaged goods. It is chemically inert and offers consistent thickness control, ensuring compatibility with automated packaging equipment while maintaining protective performance during storage and transit.

Aluminium Foil for Food and Pharmaceutical Packaging Applications

1.       Food Packaging
   - Used as a barrier layer in sealed food packages to reduce moisture ingress by leveraging its low permeability. This addresses storage degradation issues and extends product shelf life.
   - Applied in flexible packaging to protect against contamination by utilising the foil’s chemical inertness, thereby preserving food quality.

2.       Pharmaceutical Packaging
   - Serves as a protective wrap in blister packs to impede oxygen transmission by leveraging the foil’s uniform thickness. This minimises the risk of drug oxidation and maintains potency.
   - Frequently used for secondary packaging to shield sensitive components from environmental factors, ensuring safety during transport.

Aluminium Foil for Food and Pharmaceutical Packaging Packing

Aluminium Foil for Food and Pharmaceutical Packaging is supplied in clean, moisture-proof reels and flat sheets secured in anti-corrosive packaging. The product is wrapped in barrier films and packed in rigid cartons to prevent physical damage and contamination. Moisture and light exposure are minimised through careful packing. Custom sizes and spooling options are available to meet diverse operational requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What quality control methods are used during production?
A1: The manufacturing process integrates X-ray fluorescence for compositional verification and micrometer assessments for thickness uniformity. These techniques ensure the foil meets stringent standards required for food and pharmaceutical packaging.

Q2: How does the foil’s composition impact its barrier properties?
A2: The controlled blend of 1235 and 8011 Aluminium Alloys results in a foil with consistent physical properties that limit moisture and oxygen permeability. This characteristic is essential for maintaining the quality of packaged consumables and medications.

Q3: Can the foil be customised for specific machine compatibility?
A3: Yes, the foil can be produced in various thicknesses and widths tailored for automated packaging systems. Adjustments in the production process allow for fine-tuning the physical properties to match specific mechanical feed requirements.

Additional Information

Aluminium foil plays an essential role in maintaining the safety and integrity of packaged products by acting as a barrier against environmental contaminants. The material’s low permeability and chemical inertness are critical for applications where product stability is vital.

Advancements in metallurgical processing and quality control methods have enabled manufacturers to achieve tighter tolerances and improved surface finishes. These developments benefit sectors such as food and pharmaceutical packaging, where stringent hygiene and preservation requirements demand precise material specifications and dependable process controls.
