I. Product Overview

1. What is PTP Blister Aluminum Foil?

PTP stands for Press Through Packaging. It is an integrated packaging format where hard sheets (such as PVC or PVDC) are thermoformed into blisters and sealed with aluminum foil. Users can simply press the foil to push the medication out, offering operational convenience and strong sealing, effectively solving the problems of contamination, Absorció d’humitat, and difficult storage associated with traditional bulk packaging.

A la indústria farmacèutica, PTP blister packaging is the core form of standardized drug packaging, widely used for oral solid drugs, health supplements, and small medical consumables, combining aesthetics, pràctica, i seguretat. The PTP blister foil acts as the critical sealing material, serving as the first barrier to isolate the external environment, lock in the active ingredients of the drug, and ensure stability throughout the storage cycle.

2. Core Characteristics of 8011 H14 Paper d'alumini

El 8011 aliatge d'alumini​ is a high-end alloy dedicated to pharmaceutical packaging. Belonging to the Al-Mn-Si system, it features high chemical purity, minimal impurities, excellent formability, surface flatness, i resistència a la corrosió, fully complying with pharmaceutical-grade production standards.

H14​ refers to the semi-hard temper state. Through precise cold rolling and hardening, the foil achieves a golden balance between strength and toughness. It avoids the insufficient strength and deformation issues of soft-tempered foil (O-temper) while mitigating the poor ductility and cracking risks of full-hard foil.

0.025mm (25 micres)​ is the mainstream “golden thickness” for PTP pharmaceutical packaging. This gauge ensures sufficient structural strength and barrier capability to withstand external compression during transport and storage, while remaining compatible with the pressing, heat sealing, and forming processes of high-speed equipment, balancing protection with production efficiency.

II. Core Material Characteristics

1. Composició química

8011 pharmaceutical foil utilizes a dedicated Al-Fe-Si alloy system. Unlike ordinary industrial foil, its formulation is precise, harmful impurities are strictly controlled, and it guarantees no heavy metal leaching, complying with national pharmacopeia standards.

Element Contingut (%) Funció & Benefit
Al (Alumini) ≥98.60% Alta puresa, high barrier, no tòxic, meets safety standards.
I (Silici) 0.50 – 0.90% Refines crystal structure, improves flatness and heat resistance.
Fe (Ferro) 0.60 – 1.00% Increases toughness and tear resistance, reduces pinholes.
Cu (coure) ≤0.10% Controlled to prevent oxidation and discoloration.
Zn (Zinc) ≤0.10% Reduces impurity activity to prevent corrosion spots.
Altres ≤0.05% Ensures batch-to-batch consistency.

2. Ultimate Barrier Performance

The aluminum foil possesses a dense metallic structure. After precision rolling and passivation, it offers top-tier barrier capabilities, completely blocking moisture vapor, oxigen, UV rays, pols, and microbes. This effectively prevents drugs from caking due to moisture, oxidizing, or degrading under light, ensuring the stability of active ingredients.

3. Balanced Mechanical Properties

Processed via the H14 semi-hard process, the mechanical properties are stable with a tensile strength of 120-160 MPa​ and an elongation of ≥2%. The moderate hardness and toughness prevent cracking or deformation during high-speed stamping, formant, and cutting, while providing excellent resistance to tearing during logistics and warehousing.

4. Stable Heat Seal Performance

Using pharmaceutical-grade heat seal coatings, this foil exhibits strong compatibility with PVC, PVDC, and other blister base materials. It offers a wide heat sealing temperature window and high fault tolerance. The seals are tight, uniform, and free from false sealing, ensuring package integrity while allowing consumers to easily press through the foil to access the medication.

5. Excellent Printing Adaptability

The surface is smooth, clean, and treated for high tension (≥32 dyn). It supports single-color, multi-color, anti-counterfeiting, and traceability code printing. The ink adhesion is strong, ensuring clear patterns and high color fidelity, which helps brands meet regulatory labeling requirements and enhance market appeal.

III. Core Application Advantages
