Aloi aluminium 1350, sering disebut sebagai “1350 kertas aluminium”, ialah aloi aluminium tulen dengan kandungan aluminium minimum 99.5%. Manakala aluminium tulen tidak biasa digunakan dalam pembungkusan farmaseutikal, aluminium dan aloinya (termasuk 1350 aluminium) boleh digunakan dalam pembungkusan farmaseutikal selepas pemprosesan dan salutan yang betul.
Pharmaceutical packaging requires certain properties to ensure the safety and preservation of pharmaceuticals, seperti:
Hartanah Penghalang: Packaging materials should provide a barrier against moisture, oksigen, 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, branding, and instructions.
Ease of sealing: Packaging materials should be easy to seal securely to prevent tampering and maintain product integrity.
Keselamatan: 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.
Kerajang aluminium tulen (termasuk 1350 aluminium) may not meet all of these requirements without additional processing and coatings. Lazimnya, pharmaceutical packaging uses specially treated and coated aluminum foil to enhance its barrier properties, sealing properties and printability.
