[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following effects:

[0016] 1. The aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging provided by the present invention has a heat-sealing layer only coated on the first area, and no heat-sealing layer is applied on the second area. When the aluminum foil is heat-sealed with the medicine plate, the edge of the blister is very smooth because there is no heat-sealing layer on the edge of the blister, and there are no jagged points on the heat-sealed part. The blister is heat-sealed evenly, and the aluminum foil is more balanced in force and is not easily torn.

[0017] 2. The aluminum foil for medicine packaging provided by the present invention has no heat-sealing layer in the second area, which reduces the amount of raw materials used, thereby ensuring that the aluminum foil is not torn and saving costs, and having a better use effect.

[0018] 3. The aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging provided by the present invention has a water-based polyurethane protective layer with excellent high temperature resistance, wear resistance and scratch resistance, and as the surface layer of the aluminum foil, it can well protect the ink layer.

[0023] Specific implementation method 1: Combination Figure 1 、 Figure 2 To illustrate this embodiment, this embodiment includes a protective layer 1, an ink layer 2, an aluminum foil layer 3 and a heat-sealing layer 4 arranged in sequence. The aluminum foil layer 3 has a first area 5 for covering the board surface and a second area 6 for covering the blister. The second area 6 has a plurality of areas distributed in a rectangular array. The heat-sealing layer 4 is only coated on the first area 5. It should be noted that the board surface, i.e., the other areas on the medicine board except the blisters, is flat, and the blisters are concave inward.

[0024] In the aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging of this embodiment, the heat-sealing layer 4 is only applied to the first area 5, and the second area 6 does not have the heat-sealing layer 4. When the aluminum foil is heat-sealed with the medicine plate, the edge of the blister is very smooth because there is no heat-sealing layer 4. There are no jagged points at the heat-sealed part, the blister is heat-sealed evenly, the aluminum foil is more balanced in force, and is not easily torn.

[0025] Specific implementation method 2: Combination Figure 1 To explain this embodiment, the heat-seal layer 4 is formed by spot-coating a water-based polyurethane. Water-based polyurethane uses water as a solvent and does not contain toxic or hazardous organic solvents. Therefore, it does not pollute the environment during use and is less likely to cause fires or other safety hazards, thus providing a high level of safety. Of course, the above description is not restrictive. As an alternative embodiment, the heat-seal layer 4 can also be formed by spot-coating a polymer compound such as polypropylene. Other components and connections are the same as those in the first embodiment.

The thickness of the heat seal layer 4 within the above range has a better effect. The other components and connection relationships are the same as those of the second embodiment.

[0027] Specific implementation method four: Combination Figure 1 To explain this embodiment, the aluminum foil layer 3 is a tough aluminum foil formed by repeated hot rolling followed by annealing and softening in a high-temperature furnace. This tough aluminum foil exhibits a high elongation at break, which withstands impact and tearing during airtightness testing, effectively sealing and protecting the contents. Other components and connections are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0028] Specific implementation method five: Combination Figure 1 The thickness of the aluminum foil layer 3 in this embodiment is in the range of 23mm-27mm. The thickness of the aluminum foil layer 3 within the above range has a better effect. The other components and connection relationships are the same as those in the fourth embodiment.

[0029] Specific implementation method six: combination Figure 1 In this embodiment, the ink layer 2 has a thickness ranging from 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm. This thickness clearly reflects the intended content, and the thickness is relatively moderate, making it suitable for a wider range of applications. Other components and connections are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0030] Specific implementation method seven: combination Figure 1 To describe this embodiment, protective layer 1 is formed by continuous coating of water-based polyurethane. This water-based polyurethane protective layer 1 exhibits excellent high-temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, and scratch resistance. As the surface layer of the aluminum foil, it effectively protects ink layer 2. The remaining components and connections are the same as those in any of Embodiments 1 to 6.

[0031] Specific implementation method eight: combination Figure 1In this embodiment, the thickness of the protective layer 1 is in the range of 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm. When the thickness of the protective layer 1 is within the above range, the ink layer 2 is better protected. Other components and connection relationships are the same as those in the seventh embodiment.

[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments can still be modified, or some of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
