Aliatge d'alumini 1350, sovint es coneix com “1350 paper d'alumini”, és un aliatge d'alumini pur amb un contingut mínim d'alumini de 99.5%. Tot i que l'alumini pur no s'utilitza habitualment en envasos farmacèutics, alumini i els seus aliatges (inclòs 1350 alumini) es pot utilitzar en envasos farmacèutics després d'un processament i un recobriment adequats.
Pharmaceutical packaging requires certain properties to ensure the safety and preservation of pharmaceuticals, com ara:
Propietats de barrera: Packaging materials should provide a barrier against moisture, oxigen, and other environmental factors to protect the drug product.
Sterility: Pharmaceutical packaging should maintain the sterility of the contents and prevent contamination.
Printability: Packaging materials should be capable of high-quality printing to display important information, marca, and instructions.
Ease of sealing: Packaging materials should be easy to seal securely to prevent tampering and maintain product integrity.
Seguretat: The material should be safe for direct contact with the drug and should not react with the drug or leach harmful substances into the drug.
Paper d'alumini pur (inclòs 1350 alumini) may not meet all of these requirements without additional processing and coatings. Típicament, pharmaceutical packaging uses specially treated and coated aluminum foil to enhance its barrier properties, sealing properties and printability.
