Aluminum Alloy 8011 Aluminum Foil for PTP Blister Packaging | Thickness 0.02–0.03 mm | Width 200–600 mm | H18 Hard Temper | Heat Seal Lacquer
Introduction
The 0.02–0.03 mm 8011 H18 hard temper aluminum foil with heat seal lacquer is the global pharmaceutical industry standard for PTP (Push-Through) blister lidding foil.This ultra-thin, hard-temper foil is specifically engineered for:
High-speed rotary and flat-bed blister packaging lines (800–1500 blisters/min)
Clean, controlled peel with no residue or tearing
Superior barrier against moisture, oxygen, and light
Compatibility with PVC, PVDC, and PCTFE base films
Compared to 8079 (stronger but more expensive) or 1200 (softer), 8011 H18 provides the optimal balance of hardness, formability, and cost for high-volume pharmaceutical blister production.
Coating system:Heat seal lacquer (vinyl/acrylic-based, low-migration) on one side,Protective lacquer on the opposite side (optional printing side),Seal strength: 8–15 N/15 mm with standard PVC/PVDC,Compliance: FDA 21 CFR 175.300, EU 10/2011.

FAQ (USA/Europe/Middle East/Asia Buyers)
Q1: Why choose 8011 H18 over 8079 for PTP blister lidding?
A: 8011 H18 provides the best balance of hardness for clean push-through, excellent heat-seal consistency, and lower cost than 8079. It is the preferred choice for standard thermoform blisters, while 8079 is more common for cold-form alu-alu applications.
Q2: What is the typical seal strength and peel performance?
A: Seal strength 8–15 N/15 mm with standard PVC/PVDC. Clean peel with no stringing or residue. We provide peel-force curves and opening test videos for your base film.
Q3: Can you provide full FDA / EU 10/2011 / USP <661> compliance & migration test reports?
A: Yes — complete regulatory package + third-party migration/leachability reports (SGS/Intertek). Supports full pharma submission dossiers.
Q4: Minimum order quantity & lead time for custom lacquer or printing?
A: MOQ 3–5 tons (depending on specification); standard heat-seal lacquer 15–25 days; custom lacquer or printed design 25–35 days. Sample rolls free with freight collect.
Q5: How does 8011 H18 foil perform in high-humidity / tropical pharma markets?
A: Excellent — passes 40 °C / 75% RH accelerated aging for 36–48 months with no barrier loss or migration. Tropical stability & humidity chamber data available.
Q6: Is 8011 H18 suitable for both thermoform push-through and cold-form alu-alu blisters?
A: Yes — optimized for thermoform push-through blisters. It also performs well as lidding for cold-form alu-alu when higher formability is needed. We provide both sealing and forming test reports.
