1. Uvod

8079 PVDC coated aluminum foil is a key high-barrier material in pharmaceutical blister packaging. It is extensively used for packaging tablets, kapsule, health supplements, medicinske pripomočke, and high-end food products.

With rising global demands for drug stability, rok trajanja, in varnost, 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 alloy is used for the PVDC aluminum foil in blister packaging.

8079 Aluminum Alloy Substrate

8079 spada v serijo aluminijevih zlitin 8xxx, known for:

  • Extremely low pinhole count
  • Odlična duktilnost
  • 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 (Poliviniliden klorid) is a high-performance barrier polymer, featuring:

  • 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.

Zato, 8079 PVDC coated aluminum foil can achieve:

  • Stopnja prepustnosti pare vlage (MVTR) < 0.1 g/m²·dan
  • Hitrost prenosa kisika (OTR) close to 0This effectively extends drug shelf life and ensures efficacy stability.

Trenutno, this material is a vital solution for PTP (Press-Through-Pack) farmacevtska pretisna embalaža, packaging for tropical regions, and other high-barrier pharmaceutical packaging applications.


2. Analysis of 8079 Aluminum Foil Base Material

2.1 Composition of 8079 Aluminijeva zlitina

8079 aluminum alloy belongs to the 8xxx series. This series is primarily used for ultra-thin foil, farmacevtska embalaža, embalaža za hrano, battery packaging, and high-barrier composite materials.

The uniqueness of 8079 lies in the strict control of its iron (Fe) to silicon (In) ratio, which optimizes rolling performance and ductility while ensuring strength.

Kemična sestava

Element Razpon vsebine Primary Function
Aluminij (Al) ≥ 98.0% Provides the base barrier properties
Likalnik (Fe) 0.7 – 1.3% Increases strength, refines grain structure
Silicij (In) 0.05 – 0.30% Improves rolling performance
Baker (Cu) ≤ 0.05% Impurity control
Cink (Zn) ≤ 0.10% Impurity control
Drugi ≤ 0.15% Trace element control

2.2 Navadni temperament

In the pharmaceutical blister packaging field, 8079 is almost exclusively used in the O temperament (Žarelo, Mehka narava).

The O temper represents a fully annealed state, characterized by high softness, strong elongation, Odlična oblikovanje, and resistance to cracking during deep drawing.

Importance of O Temper

The blister forming process involves pressing, raztezanje, in toplotno tesnjenje. Excessive foil hardness can lead to cracking, fracturing, luknjice, and poor sealing. O temperament 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.

Skupne specifikacije

Aplikacija Razpon debeline
Standardna PTP folija 20 – 30 μm
High-Barrier Blister Packaging 25 – 30 μm
Foil for Tropical Climates 25 – 35 μm
Cold-Forming Aluminum-Aluminum Packaging 40 – 65 μm
Flexible Packaging Laminates 6 – 20 μm

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.
