Home alupharm®

bobina-alupharm-introalupharm® is the designation of ALUCOAT for the lacquered foil intended to be used for the production of protective and safe packaging for pharmaceutical applications. Moreover It can be made suitable for different applications like “push through” lids or preformed trays for tablets by using different alloys with different mechanical properties.

Advantages

  • Total barrier protection against light, moisture, oxygen and other gases, and liquids.
  • Good mechanical protection.
  • Light weight that allows use the minimum of transport and production space.
  • Safe for use in contact with foodstuffs (according to European Directives, and FDA).

Composition

bobina-alupharm-mini
