The blister packaging of pharmaceuticals began in Europe in the 1930s. In our country, blister packaging and its “PTP†materials were mainly imported in the early 1970s. In the 1980s, China has successively introduced Japan's pharmaceutical “PTP†aluminum foil printing and coating equipment from Guangzhou, Lianyungang, and Jinzhou, and its main raw materials still need to be imported. In the 1990s, our country can not only manufacture monochrome "PTP" pharmaceutical aluminum foil coating equipment, but also mass production of color, gold series "PTP" products, the main material of aluminum foil and aluminum foil ink, adhesives can meet Domestic production needs. As a manufacturer of pharmaceutical "PTP" packaging materials, the selection of high-quality raw materials is a prerequisite for the production of customer-satisfactory products. Therefore, based on the performance of homemade "PTP" materials and printing materials, this article describes its quality standards and testing methods. And use these materials in the gravure coating process problems that appear to analyze its causes.
1. Medicinal aluminum foil printing principle and its material performance standards 1.1 The principle of aluminum foil printing: aluminum foil printing is carried out on a dedicated aluminum foil printing and coating machinery, the principle of which is to complete the printed text or pattern through the concave surface of the printing roller surface. It is also called gravure printing. It is to make the printing plate plate through the outer processing to make the printing plate artwork, the picture part is eroded into the ink hole or the pit on the copper surface of the roller, the non-graphic part is the copper surface of the roller itself, India The platen roller rotates in the ink tank, and each ink hole is filled with thin ink. When the roller rotates to rotate out of the surface ink tank, the excess ink on the upper surface is wiped by the ink installed on the surface of the plate cylinder. When the knife is scraped away and the printing roller rotates in contact with the aluminum foil, the surface of the printing roller is pressed against the printing roller by an elastic embossing roller, so that the ink of the ink hole is transferred to the surface of the aluminum foil and the printing of the aluminum foil is completed. The main raw materials used in printing are pharmaceutical aluminum foil, aluminum foil ink and solvent material, and aluminum foil coating binder material. The following is a brief introduction.

It is non-toxic and odorless, has excellent electrical conductivity and shading properties, and has extremely high moisture resistance, gas barrier and taste protection. Aluminum foil has a highly dense metal crystal structure, it can completely block any gas, water vapor and light, so it can protect the most effective drugs, in modern packaging almost all opaque or high barrier composites are used to block aluminum foil The layer, especially pharmaceutical packaging, requires the aluminum foil's physical and mechanical properties to be greater than 90 Kpa in attack strength, 98 Mpa in tensile strength, and 0.02 mm in thickness. The surface is clean and free from wrinkles, indentations and damage. No sheet of fluorescent material, pinholes with a diameter greater than 0.3 mm, no more than one per square meter, and a wet surface tension of not less than 32. 1Aluminum foil attack strength measurement: Take 40 mm×40 mm specimens from the aluminum foil finished product with an attack strength meter, place the pieces one by one in the cracks of the instrument, and turn on the oil pump, depending on the indicated numerical value on the pressure gauge, the attack strength is not low. At 90K pa. 2 Needle hole test: Use a wooden box of 800mm x 600mm x 300mm or an appropriate volume. Install a 30W fluorescent lamp inside the wooden box. Put a glass plate on the wooden box to line the black paper and leave 400 x 250mm space to check the pinhole of the aluminum foil. In the finished product of aluminum foil, 10 samples of 400 mm in length and 250 mm in width were taken and placed one by one on a pinhole inspection table, and the pinholes were checked in the dark place to see if they met the standards. 3 Aluminum foil fluorescent substances were measured using an ultraviolet analyzer with wavelengths of 254mm and 365mm. Five pieces of 100 mm×100 mm lines were taken from the finished product of the aluminum foil. The fluorescence was not observed in the above wavelengths. 5 The tensile strength of aluminum foil is performed on a fully automatic tensile testing machine. Take a sample of a certain size of aluminum foil. The sample is clamped on the upper and lower clamps of the testing machine, and the tensile testing machine is started. Record whether the test data and the standard control meet the standards. Claim.

1.4 Adhesive properties and testing for aluminum foils; currently used adhesives are two-component polyurethane adhesives because the main agent is composed of many active hydrogens, such as hydroxylamino substances, and the curing agent is polyisocyanate. The compound composition, when the isocyanate group in the curing agent is in contact with the active hydrogen in the main agent molecule, it will automatically carry out the addition reaction to generate the urethane structure, so that the molecular weight is multiplied after the combination of the main agent and the curing agent. Even cross-linked products with a three-dimensional conformation with a branched structure are characterized by high temperature resistance, high adhesion, and the like. The isocyanate group (-NCO) in the curing agent is an active reactive group that, in addition to reacting with the active hydrogen in the main agent molecule, also stays reactive with the active hydrogen in the surface material molecules of the adherent material. Chemical bonds allow the adhesive molecules to act as a bridge to the aluminum foil PVC material, resulting in stronger adhesion. The main indicators of adhesive testing: 1 Determination of solid content: take the adhesive 5 grams placed in a beaker, the beaker was dried in an oven at 110 °C for 2 hours and then reweighed: solid content = dry film weight / 5 g × 100% . 2 Measurement of adhesive viscosity: The viscosity at 25°C was measured with a rotational viscometer. The method is: under the conditions of 25 °C, the sample glue thermostat 0.5 hours or more, according to the viscosity of the provided adhesive, using a viscometer to check the comparison. 3 Acidity According to GB/T1458-83, it can be measured with a glass telegraph acidometer. Precision pH can also be used to detect its pH.
