Aluminum Strip For Pharmaceutical Caps The aluminum strip for pharmaceutical caps is a main kind of the medicine bottle cap, featuring thin thickness and easy opening., which is widely used in medicine oral liquid and bottled liquids such as antibiotics and infusion. The aluminum pharmaceutical caps are of simple structure, low cost, good sealing and convenient use. It can also meet special requirements such as high temperature cooking and sterilization. 4

5. Original source: https://www.alumhm.com/ Aluminum bottle caps are mostly processed on production lines with a high degree of automation. Therefore, it has high requirements on the strength, elongation and dimensional deviation of the aluminum strips for caps, otherwise cracks or creases will occur during processing. The common choices are 8011, 3003 and 1060 aluminum strip. The thickness is generally 0.20mm～0.23mm. 8011 aluminum foil is mainly used in the sealing of the infusion bottle. Its thickness is in the range of 0.018-0.04mm, which has good airtightness. 8011 aluminum foil is added with Al-Fe-Si elements. With over 1% alloy elements, it has a better performance. The common tempers are are O, H14, H16, H18, etc. 8011 medicinal aluminum foil has excellent moisture resistance, shading and extremely high barrier capacity, strong mechanical properties, high blast resistance, puncture resistance and tear resistance. 1060 aluminum strip is an important raw material for various aluminum medical cap factories at home and abroad. It has good elongation and tensile strength, which can fully meet the conventional processing requirements such as stamping and stretching. It is widely used to make aluminum-plastic cap. Most of them are used in the cosmetics industry, and some are used in the pharmaceutical industry. 5

It can be used to prevent corrosion and achieve the dual purpose of protection and decoration. The anodizing layer can be used as wear-resistant layer, electrical insulation layer, electroplating bottom layer,etc. The anodised aluminum strip manufacturing process includes bright or mirror surface treatment, neutralization, first anodizing, sealing, ink printing, alkali etching and matte treatment,etc. After repeating the following tips such as neutralization, anodizing, sealing, ink printing,etc., we get the finished product. Haomei anodized aluminum strips are of light resistance, good decorative effect, bright color and is easy to get the desired patterns. There are two major types of aluminum alloys used in industry, namely, wrought aluminum alloys and cast aluminum alloys. Cast aluminum alloys generally contain high silicon content. The anodic oxide film is dark, and it is impossible to obtain a colorless and transparent oxide film. So cast aluminum alloy is not suitable for anodizing. Different grades of wrought aluminum alloy have different compositions, heat treatment 6

Wrought aluminum alloy grades range from 1xxx series pure aluminum to 8xxx series aluminum alloy. 1000 aluminum alloy strip is generally not used for hard anodizing. However, it has excellent performance in right anodization and protective anodization. If rich colors are not required, the anodized film of 1000 aluminum alloy is of the highest hardness, the best corrosion resistance, and the best uniformity. 3000, 5000 and 6000 aluminum alloy strips are suitable for anodizing, but they have their respective anodizing requirements to ensure the best anodising effect. For example, the anodized film thickness of 6061 and 6082 alloy cannot exceed 10μm, otherwise it will appear light gray or yellowish gray. Coated Aluminium Strip The aluminum strip is of wide application in our daily lives such as transformers, earphones, shutters,etc. The coated aluminium strip is the surface coloring treatment of aluminum strip roll. What are its advantages? 7

The color coated aluminum strip has a distinct physical texture and fresh natural beauty, meeting the requirements of different occasions. 2. Weather resistance and color stability. The coated aluminum strip is of high gloss retention, good color stability, and small color difference. The service life of polyester paint is about 10 years while that of fluorocarbon paint is over 20 years. 3. Advanced technology and high flexibility. The color coated aluminum strip choose high quality plain aluminum strip and advanced composite technology, which can stand the changes of wind pressure, temperature, humidity and other factors. It will not bend, deform and expand. The coatings of coated aluminum strips include fluorocarbon paint (PVDF) and polyester paint (PE). The paint colors and effects between them are similar. The main difference is that the PVDF coated aluminum strip has better weather resistance, longer service life and higher price. The coated aluminum strip can give people a different feeling. Take blinds as an example. If they are all silver, then they are very monotonous, but the rainbow strip will bring you a feeling of hope. The color coated aluminium strip is widely used in aluminum ceilings, roofing system, electronic products,etc.,due to their stable performance and resistance to corrosion. Glass Hollow Aluminium Strip The glass hollow aluminum strip is one of the necessary materials for the production of hollow glass and has excellent compatibility with other materials used in hollow glass. The quality of hollow aluminum strip is directly related to the use effect, service life and heat preservation performance of hollow glass. How to improve its quality? 8

Wall thickness: The wall thickness on one side is guaranteed to be between 0.25 and 0.4, and the limit deviation of the surrounding wall thickness (+0.025). Hard bends and side bends are not allowed. Products have strict requirements on wall thickness. 2. Appearance: The surface is flat and smooth, anti-rust, and corrosion resistant. The surface of the aluminum strip for sale has uniform holes, good straightness, no deformation, stable size, good strength and toughness, and can be continuously bent into aluminum frames at any angle with bending equipment . The hardness reaches Mohs level 5. 3. 3. Coordination between products: The hollow aluminum strip and the rubber strip are used in conjunction with each other. A three-step procedure, namely pressing, turning and pinching, is used at the sealing of the hollow glass. 4. The role of molecular sieve: the slower the adsorption rate of molecular sieve, the better the adsorption rate of molecular sieve. Several factors that affect the drying speed of insulating glass are the air humidity in the workshop, the molecular sieve filling rate, the molecular sieve adsorption rate, the size and density of the pores in the aluminum strip, and the sealing quality. 9

10. Original source: https://www.alumhm.com/ What Is Bendable Aluminum Strip The flat aluminum strips is of wide application, including pharmaceutical caps, cosmetics caps, transformer winding material,cable armouring, LED strips, fin stock, can making material. Among these applications, some require the aluminum strip is bendable. The bendable performance of aluminum strip has close relationship with its alloy, temper and thickness. As we all know, the aluminum alloy has eight series. The 1xxx aluminum strip is a kind of flexible aluminum strip, having good thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and good ductility. It has good bending and stamping performance in the H24 semi-hard temper. 3xxx and 5xxx aluminum has a certain strength and good bending performance such as 3003, 5052 and 5154 aluminum strip. 6061T6 aluminum strip is a high-hard aluminum strip, one of the hardest products among all aluminum strips, which is not suitable for bending. According to the different annealing tempers, the aluminum strips can be divided into full soft (O temper), semi-hard (H24 temper), full-hard (H18 temper). The O temper aluminum strip is easier to stretch and bend. The semi-hard aluminum strips generally can be bent. We will not choose the full hard aluminum strip to bend, which is easy to crack. The aluminum strip’s bending performance is also been affected by its thickness. The bending coefficient is generally the 0.8 times the thickness of the bendable aluminum strips. Take the aluminium strip 3mm for example. Its bending coefficient is 2.4. Generally the aluminum strip has rolling lines. It is best that the bending tool and the rolling line intersect 90 degrees. 10
