Medical aluminum foil is used in various applications such as pharmaceutical blister packs, strip packs, and sachets. The thickness specifications for medical aluminum foil vary depending on its intended use. Below is a detailed description and table summarizing the typical thickness specifications.

Detailed Description

Pharmaceutical blister packs foil thickness

Medical aluminum foil used for blister packs is usually coated with a heat-sealing material to ensure good adhesion with PVC or PVDC. The typical thickness of aluminum foil for this purpose ranges from 20 μm to 30 μm.

Strip packs foil thickness

Strip pack foil is designed to protect tablets, Cápsulas, or powders from light, humedad, and contamination. It is often made from soft-tempered aluminum with thicknesses ranging from 30 μm to 50 μm.

Sachets and pouches foil thickness

For sachets and pouches, aluminum foil is combined with other materials like plastic or paper to form a multi-layer structure. The aluminum layer is typically 6 μm to 20 μm thick.

Lidding foil thickness

Used as a seal for containers and bottles, lidding foil typically has a thickness of 30 μm to 50 μm and may include a coating for heat-sealing.
