Aluminum Foil Film Application
Automotive, PTP pharmaceutical and flexible packaging uses for aluminum foil film, with PTP at 20% of pharmaceutical packaging materials.
What Aluminum Foil Film Covers
Aluminum foil film is used in three described areas: composite foil for automotive parts, aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging, and foil composite for flexible packaging. Each use matches a different buyer problem, from heat exchange parts to moisture resistance to bag type containers for food and beverage.
Composite Foil for Automotive Use
There are two types of auto foils. One is composite foil for automotive air conditioners, where annual demand for aluminum foil reached 15000 tons. The other is composite foil for automotive radiators, used to manufacture radiators, condensers and evaporators, where the aluminumization rate of water tanks reaches 40% and annual demand is about 0.3 million tons.
Pharmaceutical Foil for Caps and PTP
Pharmaceutical packaging aluminum foil mainly consists of easy to open bottle caps for pharmaceuticals and injections and PTP aluminum foil for pharmaceuticals. PTP aluminum foil is widely used because of moisture resistance, portability and safety. China began to use aluminum foil packaging for medicines in 1985, and packaging aluminum foil now accounts for 20% of pharmaceutical packaging materials.
Flexible Packaging Foil for Food and Beverage
Flexible packaging uses soft composite packaging materials made into bag type containers. In developed countries it has become one of the main forms for food and beverages, replacing canned and bottled products within a certain range. To date 10 aluminum foil composite production lines have been introduced, using dry compounding, hot melt compounding and extrusion compounding according to different uses.
What to Confirm Before You Order
State your exact use before sourcing. Specify air conditioner foil or radiator, condenser and evaporator foil for automotive, bottle cap or PTP foil for pharmaceutical, or bag type flexible packaging with moisture proof, fresh keeping function and printed designs. Also confirm whether dry compounding, hot melt compounding or extrusion compounding fits your filling and sealing process.
