Application of vacuum aluminum foil packaging in the pharmaceutical industry

Vacuumed aluminum foil packaging is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. Its unique properties and advantages make it the preferred material in the pharmaceutical packaging field. The following is a detailed analysis of the application of vacuumed aluminum foil packaging in the pharmaceutical industry:

Ⅰ. Protect the quality and safety of drugs

1. Barrier performance: Aluminum foil has excellent oxygen barrier and waterproof properties, and its water permeability and oxygen permeability are extremely low. It can well block oxygen, light, water vapor, etc., protect drugs from light, oxygen and moisture, and prevent drugs from degradation and loss of efficacy.

2. Moisture and mildew resistance: The moisture-proof performance of aluminum foil helps prevent drugs from getting damp and mildew, keeps drugs dry, and thus extends their shelf life.

3. Aseptic environment: Vacuumed aluminum foil packaging can be used in dust-free and aseptic workshops and other places with high requirements, providing a sterile packaging environment for drugs and reducing the risk of bacterial contamination.

Ⅱ. Ensure the shape and quality of drugs

1. Strength and toughness: Aluminum foil has good strength and toughness, which can prevent drugs from being squeezed and deformed during transportation, storage and use, and ensure that the shape, size and quality of drugs are not affected.

2. Puncture and tear resistance: Industrial aluminum foil bags have strong mechanical properties, high burst resistance, strong puncture and tear resistance, and can protect drugs from external physical damage.

Ⅲ. Easy to carry and identify

1. Portability: Aluminum foil packaging is light and easy to carry, which is convenient for patients to carry and use medicines when going out.

2. Information identification: Aluminum foil usually prints information such as the name of the medicine, specifications, and manufacturer, which is convenient for consumers to understand the relevant information of the medicine and ensure the safety of medication.

Ⅳ. Extend the validity period of sterile packages

The application of vacuum packaging technology to package and preserve sterile packages can significantly extend the validity period of sterile packages. Sterile packages packaged in vacuum aluminum foil can be stored for up to 6 months, while sterile packages using general packaging technology are usually stored for only about 1 month.
