Aluminium profiel 1350, vaak genoemd “1350 aluminiumfolie”, is een zuivere aluminiumlegering met een minimaal aluminiumgehalte van 99.5%. Terwijl puur aluminium niet vaak wordt gebruikt in farmaceutische verpakkingen, aluminium en zijn legeringen (inbegrepen 1350 aluminium) kan na de juiste verwerking en coating worden gebruikt in farmaceutische verpakkingen.
Pharmaceutical packaging requires certain properties to ensure the safety and preservation of pharmaceuticals, zoals:
Barrière-eigenschappen: Packaging materials should provide a barrier against moisture, zuurstof, and other environmental factors to protect the drug product.
Sterility: Pharmaceutical packaging should maintain the sterility of the contents and prevent contamination.
Printability: Packaging materials should be capable of high-quality printing to display important information, branding, and instructions.
Ease of sealing: Packaging materials should be easy to seal securely to prevent tampering and maintain product integrity.
Veiligheid: The material should be safe for direct contact with the drug and should not react with the drug or leach harmful substances into the drug.
Zuiver aluminiumfolie (inbegrepen 1350 aluminium) may not meet all of these requirements without additional processing and coatings. Typisch, pharmaceutical packaging uses specially treated and coated aluminum foil to enhance its barrier properties, sealing properties and printability.
