8011 H18 Blister Foil
Blister foil is a material used for pharmaceutical packaging, mainly composed of thermoformed plastic blisters and cold-formed composite aluminum foil. Blister foil is made by combining nylon, aluminum foil and adhesive through special equipment under certain temperature and pressure, also called PTP blister foil, which has high mechanical strength and good formability and heat sealing strength, and is suitable for high-speed packaging machines.
8011 H18 blister foil is an aluminum foil specifically designed for pharmaceutical packaging, primarily for blister packaging. 8011-h18 blister foil is manufactured from 8000 series 8011 aluminum alloy, which is known for its excellent barrier properties, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength. The “H18” designation refers to the foil’s tempered properties, indicating that it is fully rigid and has undergone significant strain hardening, making it strong and suitable for forming and sealing applications.

8011 H18 foil is produced through a series of rolling, annealing and surface coating processes:
Melt and Cast: The aluminum alloy is melted and cast into slabs.
Rolling: The slabs are rolled into sheets.
Annealing: The H18 temper is achieved using a controlled annealing process.
Surface Coating: Heat seal lacquer and primer layers are applied for drug compatibility.
Slitting: The foil is cut to precise widths for use in blister packaging machines.
8011 aluminum alloy in H18 condition is widely recognized for its excellent barrier properties, making it an indispensable material in pharmaceutical packaging, especially blister packaging. These properties ensure the integrity, safety and shelf life of the packaged drug.
8011 blister foil effectively prevents water vapor from penetrating into the package. It protects moisture-sensitive drugs, such as effervescent tablets or hygroscopic APIs, from humidity-induced degradation, even in high humidity environments.
8011 blister foil provides an impermeable barrier to oxygen penetration, protecting the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) from oxidation. It extends the shelf life of the drug by preventing chemical reactions that may affect the efficacy.
8011 blister foil is completely opaque and blocks harmful ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. It can effectively prevent photodegradation of light-sensitive drugs, maintaining their stability and potency.
8011 H18 aluminum foil is designed for pharmaceutical packaging, especially blister packaging. With unique properties, it is the first choice to ensure the integrity and safety of drugs.
High Barrier Protection
Moisture Barrier: Provides a strong water vapor barrier to keep moisture-sensitive drugs dry.
Oxygen Barrier: Prevents oxygen penetration, protecting drugs from oxidation.
Light and UV Protection: Fully opaque, protecting light-sensitive drugs from photodegradation.
Strong mechanical properties
Hardness and Stiffness: H18 temper (full hard) ensures excellent stiffness, making the foil suitable for blister forming and sealing processes.
Formability: It has enough ductility to withstand the pressure of forming the blister cavity without cracking or tearing.
Puncture Resistance: 8011 blister foil is strong enough to resist punctures during handling and transportation.
Surface coating compatibility
Heat Seal Lacquer Coating: Blister foil is coated with heat seal lacquer on one side to bond with PVC or PVDC films, ensuring a tight and tamper-proof seal.
Printable Surface: The other side is suitable for high-quality printing and can be used for product branding, instructions and regulatory information.
Chemical resistance
8011 foil aluminum is non-reactive and will not chemically react with the drug, ensuring the stability and purity of the packaged product.
Hygiene and Sterility
Aluminum foil blister packaging is able to provide a sterile barrier, which is critical for pharmaceutical applications. Manufactured under cleanroom conditions, it meets strict industry hygiene standards.
Thickness and sizes
Thickness Range: Blister foil 8011 is typically 20-25 microns for pharmaceutical applications, balancing strength and flexibility. It can be customized to specific thicknesses and sizes based on packaging requirements.
Blister foil is lightweight and cost-effective
The lightweight material reduces overall packaging weight, reduces shipping costs, and its excellent performance in thin gauges makes it a cost-effective solution.
