1. Introduzione
8079 PVDC coated aluminum foil is a key high-barrier material in pharmaceutical blister packaging. It is extensively used for packaging tablets, capsule, health supplements, medical devices, and high-end food products.
With rising global demands for drug stability, durata di conservazione, e sicurezza, conventional PVC blister materials often fall short for highly sensitive drugs. This includes hygroscopic, oxidation-prone, and light-sensitive drugs, as well as formulations containing high-activity APIs or designed for sustained release.
Packaging for such products must offer superior barrier properties, extremely low moisture and oxygen transmission rates, reliable heat seal performance, and stable mechanical strength.
It is against this market backdrop that 8079 PVDC coated aluminum foil has become a mainstream, high-end pharmaceutical packaging material. Its core advantages stem from two key components:
8079 Aluminum Alloy Substrate
8079 appartiene alla serie 8xxx delle leghe di alluminio, known for:
- Extremely low pinhole count
- Eccellente duttilità
- Superior deep-drawing performance
- More stable capability for ultra-thin rollingEven at thicknesses as low as 20μm, it retains good mechanical strength and barrier properties.
PVDC High-Barrier Coating
PVDC (Cloruro di polivinilidene) is a high-performance barrier polymer, caratterizzato:
- Ultra-low moisture vapor transmission
- Ultra-low oxygen transmission
- Good chemical corrosion resistance
- Stable heat seal performanceThe PVDC coating can further seal micro-pores in the aluminum foil, significantly enhancing the overall barrier performance of the packaging.
Perciò, 8079 PVDC coated aluminum foil can achieve:
- Velocità di trasmissione del vapore di umidità (Mvtr) < 0.1 g/m²·giorno
- Velocità di trasmissione dell'ossigeno (OTR) close to 0This effectively extends drug shelf life and ensures efficacy stability.
Attualmente, this material is a vital solution for PTP (Press-Through-Pack) confezionamento in blister farmaceutico, packaging for tropical regions, and other high-barrier pharmaceutical packaging applications.
2. Analisi di 8079 Aluminum Foil Base Material
2.1 Composition of 8079 Lega di alluminio
8079 aluminum alloy belongs to the 8xxx series. This series is primarily used for ultra-thin foil, confezione farmaceutica, imballaggio alimentare, battery packaging, and high-barrier composite materials.
The uniqueness of 8079 lies in the strict control of its iron (Fe) to silicon (E) ratio, which optimizes rolling performance and ductility while ensuring strength.
Composizione chimica
| Elemento | Gamma di contenuti | Primary Function |
|---|---|---|
| Alluminio (Al) | ≥ 98.0% | Provides the base barrier properties |
| Ferro (Fe) | 0.7 – 1.3% | Increases strength, refines grain structure |
| Silicio (E) | 0.05 – 0.30% | Improves rolling performance |
| Rame (Cu) | ≤ 0.05% | Impurity control |
| Zinco (Zn) | ≤ 0.10% | Impurity control |
| Altri | ≤ 0.15% | Trace element control |
2.2 Temperamento comune
In the pharmaceutical blister packaging field, 8079 is almost exclusively used in the O temperamento (Ricotto, Temperamento morbido).
The O temper represents a fully annealed state, characterized by high softness, strong elongation, ottima formabilità, and resistance to cracking during deep drawing.
Importance of O Temper
The blister forming process involves pressing, allungamento, e termosaldatura. Excessive foil hardness can lead to cracking, fracturing, fori di spillo, and poor sealing. O temperamento 8079 maintains stable deformation, improves package integrity, and reduces scrap rates, making it the standard temper for pharmaceutical packaging.
2.3 Common Thicknesses
Different packaging structures have varying thickness requirements.
Specifiche comuni
| Applicazione | Intervallo di spessore |
|---|---|
| Lamina PTP standard | 20 – 30 micron |
| High-Barrier Blister Packaging | 25 – 30 micron |
| Foil for Tropical Climates | 25 – 35 micron |
| Cold-Forming Aluminum-Aluminum Packaging | 40 – 65 micron |
| Flexible Packaging Laminates | 6 – 20 micron |
Importance of Thickness Control
Foil thickness must be maintained with extremely high consistency. Excessive thickness variation can lead to unstable sealing, inconsistent forming depths, fluctuating barrier performance, and package leakage. High-end pharmaceutical foil typically controls thickness tolerance within ±5% or ±0.001mm to ensure compatibility with high-speed automated packaging equipment.
2.4 Proprietà fisiche e meccaniche
8079 pharmaceutical aluminum foil offers excellent overall performance.
| Proprietà | Valore tipico | Funzione |
|---|---|---|
| Resistenza alla trazione | ≥ 100 – 150 MPa | Ensures packaging strength |
| Allungamento | 3.5% – 7% | Enhances deep-drawing capability |
| Densità | 2.70 g/cm³ | Enables lightweight packaging |
| Forza di scoppio | 80 – 270 Kpa | Resistance to internal pressure |
| Controllo del foro stenopeico | ≤ 1 pezzi/m² | Ensures high barrier properties |
| Tolleranza sullo spessore | ± 5% | Improves equipment runnability |
Perché è 8079 More Suitable for Pharmaceutical Foil?
Rispetto a 8011, 8079 offers higher elongation, lower pinhole count, and stronger deep-drawing capability, making it more widely used in high-end pharmaceutical packaging, packaging for tropical regions, and packaging for long-shelf-life drugs.
3. Cosa è 8079 PVDC Coated Aluminum Foil?
8079 PVDC coated aluminum foil is a high-performance composite material for pharmaceutical packaging. Its structure consists of a 8079 aluminum foil substrate coated with a PVDC high-barrier layer. This combination integrates the absolute light barrier of metallic aluminum foil with the superior oxygen and moisture barrier of PVDC, resulting in a packaging material with high barrier properties, elevata stabilità, and good heat sealability.

PVDC has a dense molecular structure, making it difficult for oxygen to penetrate. Its typical Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) È <1 cm³/(m²·24h), effectively protecting antibiotics, farmaci ormonali, and oxidation-sensitive formulations from degradation.
(2) Extremely Low Moisture Vapor Transmission
PVDC can achieve a Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) Di <0.1 G/(m²·24h), significantly improving the stability of moisture-sensitive products like effervescent tablets, capsule, probiotics, and herbal preparations.
(3) Resistenza alla corrosione chimica
PVDC offers excellent chemical resistance, tolerating acids, alcali, and organic solvents, preventing reactions between the packaging material and the drug.
(4) Enhanced Heat Seal Performance
PVDC improves seal strength, integrità della tenuta, and peel stability. It is compatible with various blister base webs like PVC, ANIMALE DOMESTICO, PP, and Aclar.
3.2 Functioning in Packaging
In blister packaging, 8079 PVDC coated aluminum foil is typically used as the foglio di copertura.
After packaging, the PVDC layer faces the interior of the blister, functioning to block moisture and oxygen, provide the heat seal, and prevent drug degradation. The outer aluminum foil layer can be printed on, serialized, or marked with anti-counterfeit features to meet pharmaceutical regulations.
3.3 Struttura tipica
The common structure is as follows:
| Strato | Funzione |
|---|---|
| Print Layer | Branding and information display |
| Primer Layer | Enhances ink adhesion |
| 8079 Substrato di foglio di alluminio | Primary barrier layer (blocks light, gas, umidità) |
| Rivestimento in PVDC | High barrier layer (blocca l'ossigeno, umidità) |
| Strato termosaldato | Seals to PVC or other blister base webs |
Some high-end products may include additional layers like anti-counterfeit layers, easy-peel layers, or laser-marking layers to increase market competitiveness.
