Aluminiumlegering 1350, ofta kallad “1350 aluminiumfolie”, är en ren aluminiumlegering med en minsta aluminiumhalt på 99.5%. Medan rent aluminium inte vanligtvis används i läkemedelsförpackningar, aluminium och dess legeringar (inklusive 1350 aluminium) kan användas i läkemedelsförpackningar efter korrekt bearbetning och beläggning.
Pharmaceutical packaging requires certain properties to ensure the safety and preservation of pharmaceuticals, såsom:
Barrier Properties: Packaging materials should provide a barrier against moisture, syre, 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.
Safety: 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.
Ren aluminiumfolie (inklusive 1350 aluminium) may not meet all of these requirements without additional processing and coatings. Typiskt, pharmaceutical packaging uses specially treated and coated aluminum foil to enhance its barrier properties, sealing properties and printability.
