Coated Aluminum Foil for Closures and Caps Applications
certainly! Coated aluminum foil is widely used in various industries, mainly due to its excellent barrier properties, versatility and easy customization. Let’s take a closer look at its applications and a detailed introduction to commonly used coating types:
Coated Aluminum Foil for Closures and Caps Pharmaceutical Packing
Caps, seals and vials: In pharmaceutical packaging, specially coated aluminum foil effectively blocks moisture, oxygen and other contaminants, ensuring the integrity and longevity of sensitive pharmaceuticals. Coatings such as heat seal paint or cold form paint are often used to promote sealing and protect the contents from external factors.
"Theft-proof" closure: Theft-proof closure is designed to provide tamper resistance and protect pharmaceutical products from unauthorized access or tampering. Aluminum foil is coated with a special adhesive or tamper-resistant coating to enhance security and ensure product safety.
Coated Aluminum Foil for Closures and Caps Cosmetics Packing
Lids and Containers: Aluminum foil coated with a decorative or protective coating is used in cosmetic packaging of a variety of products, such as creams, lotions, and powders. These coatings enhance the aesthetics of the packaging while also providing a barrier against external elements.
Coated Aluminum Foil for Closures and Caps Beverage Packing
ROPP Caps: Roll-on pilfer-proof (ROPP) caps are commonly used in the beverage industry to seal bottles containing alcoholic beverages, juices, or other beverages. Use aluminum foil with a special coating such as PVC or PVDC to ensure the integrity of the seal and prevent leakage or tampering.
PP Caps: Polypropylene (PP) caps are commonly used to seal beverage containers. Aluminum foil is coated with a coating such as heat-seal paint or pressure-sensitive adhesive to promote a secure seal and maintain product freshness.
Anti-theft caps: Similar to pharmaceutical anti-theft caps, aluminum foil coated with an anti-theft coating or special adhesive is used in beverage packaging to prevent tampering and ensure product security.
- Heat seal coatings: These coatings provide strong adhesion when heated, helping to securely seal containers or closures. They are commonly used in pharmaceutical and beverage packaging applications.
- Cold-forming paint: Cold-forming paint is applied to aluminum foil used in pharmaceutical blister packaging and has excellent barrier properties and low-temperature forming properties.
- PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coating: PVC coatings are commonly used in beverage packaging to provide a protective barrier against moisture and oxygen while also being tamper-proof.
- PVDC (polyvinylidene chloride) coating: PVDC coatings have excellent barrier properties, making them ideal for applications where moisture and oxygen protection are critical, such as pharmaceutical and beverage packaging.
These coatings play a vital role in ensuring the safety, integrity and longevity of products packaged in coated aluminum foil across industries.
