Medicinal aluminum foil is usually composed of the following materials:

– Aluminum foil: Generally 8011, 8021 aluminum foil is used, the thickness is usually between 0.02mm and 0.1mm. The states are O and H18.

– Composite materials: sometimes laminated with plastic materials such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) to enhance strength and durability.

Specifications of medicinal foil:

– Thickness: the thickness of medicine aluminum foil usually ranges from 0.02mm to 0.1mm, with common thicknesses of 0.03mm, 0.04mm, and 0.05mm. the choice of thickness depends on the specific packaging needs.

– Width: The width is usually between 100mm and 1200mm, the specific width can be customized according to the customer’s needs.
