Why is the Medicine Being Packaged in Aluminum Foil?

It is very important to maintain drug quality and safety when it is packaged.

Advantages of aluminum foil

Good barrier performance: aluminum foil can effectively prevent drugs from the moisture and humidity, because it is an impermeable material, which can maintain the dryness and stability of drugs. In addition, tin foil can prevent oxygen and other gases from entering the drug packaging, thus maintaining the stability and active ingredients of the drug. Some medicines deteriorate when in contact with oxygen, so aluminum foil can help protect their quality.

Good thermal insulation: Aluminum foil is an excellent thermal insulation material that can help maintain the active ingredients and efficacy of drugs. Drugs usually need to be stored at low temperatures, and tin foil prevents them from being affected by high temperatures. Aluminum foil can make drug packaging easier to identify and identify. At the same time, tin foil can also be used in anti-counterfeiting packaging to ensure the authenticity and safety of drugs.

Can be easily sealed: aluminum foil can be sealed by hot sealing or cold sealing technology, so as to ensure the sealing of drug packaging. This can help prevent external contamination and oxidation of drugs.

Conclusion

In short, tin foil, as an excellent packaging material, can help protect the quality and safety of drugs, reduce the contact and contamination of drugs and the external environment, and extend the shelf life of drugs. At the same time, tin foil can also be used in combination with other materials to form multilayer composite materials to further improve the performance and function of pharmaceutical packaging.
