1060 aluminum coil strip for vial seals
Aluminum bottle seals play a vital role in pharmaceutical packaging, ensuring the integrity and safety of pharmaceuticals. Among the various alloys available, 1060 aluminum stands out as a popular choice for manufacturing tape and roll used for vial sealing. Known for its excellent formability, corrosion resistance and compatibility with sterilization processes, 1060 aluminum provides pharmaceutical companies with a reliable solution for safely sealing vials.
Composition and properties of 1060 aluminum
1060 aluminum belongs to the commercial pure aluminum series and contains 99.6% aluminum as the main alloying element.
It is characterized by high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and solderability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications beyond vial sealing, such as electronics and construction.
The absence of important alloying elements provides excellent corrosion resistance, especially in environments where chemical exposure is a concern.
1060 aluminum offers excellent formability, allowing manufacturers to achieve the complex shapes and precise dimensions required for vial sealing.

Advantages of 1060 aluminum tape for vial sealing
A. Excellent formability
The superior ductility of 1060 aluminum allows it to precisely conform to the contours of a vial opening without cracking or tearing.
This formability facilitates a tight seal, preventing contamination and maintaining the efficacy of the drug product.
B. Corrosion resistance
The purity of 1060 aluminum gives it inherent corrosion resistance, ensuring vial seal integrity even under harsh storage conditions.
Pharmaceutical companies can rely on 1060 aluminum seals to maintain product purity throughout shelf life.
C. Compatibility with sterilization processes
Vial seals made from 1060 aluminum can withstand a variety of sterilization methods, including autoclaving and gamma irradiation, without affecting their mechanical properties.
This compatibility ensures that pharmaceutical products remain sterile and safe for patient use, meeting regulatory requirements.

1060 aluminum coil strip for vial seals manufacturing process
Casting: The manufacturing process begins by casting molten 1060 aluminum alloy into an ingot of specific dimensions.
Rolling: The steel ingot undergoes a hot rolling process to reduce its thickness and reach the specifications required for coiling.
Annealing: Annealing is used to enhance the ductility and formability of the aluminum strip, making it easier to shape during the vial sealing process.
Slitting: Use precision slitting machinery to cut the rolled aluminum coils into narrow strips of uniform width and customize them according to the size of the vial opening.
Surface treatment: Optionally, the aluminum strip can be cleaned, degreased or coated to improve its adhesion and compatibility with the sealing material.
