Pharmaceutical PVC Film Specifications

HSQY offers four main pharmaceutical film structures with different thickness ranges, web widths and roll configurations. The following table summarizes the available specifications. Actual production tolerances, layer structures and roll dimensions should be confirmed in the approved quotation and technical specification.

Note: The listed sizes and multilayer format notations are reproduced from the available HSQY product specifications. The exact layer sequence, coating weight, dimensional tolerances and roll configuration should be confirmed for each order.

Understanding the Four Pharmaceutical Film Structures

Rigid PVC Film for Pharmaceutical Blister Packaging

Rigid PVC film is a commonly used thermoforming material for pharmaceutical blister packs. Its transparency allows tablets and capsules to remain visible through the packaging, while its dimensional consistency supports forming and handling on compatible blister packaging machines.

Key characteristics include a clear surface, uniform thickness, mechanical strength and processing suitability. Rigid PVC is commonly selected for conventional tablet and capsule blister applications where the product's stability requirements are compatible with the barrier performance of the material.

PVC/PVDC Film for Enhanced Moisture and Oxygen Protection

PVC/PVDC film combines a rigid PVC base with a PVDC barrier coating. The PVC layer provides the thermoforming structure, while the PVDC coating helps reduce moisture and oxygen transmission through the packaging material.

This structure is commonly used for pharmaceutical blister packaging where improved moisture protection is required. Different PVDC coating weights can be selected according to the formulation's sensitivity, packaging design and required shelf-life performance.

PVC/PE Film for Composite Packaging Applications

PVC/PE film combines a rigid PVC base with a polyethylene layer. The composite structure can provide additional flexibility and heat-sealing characteristics depending on the layer arrangement and intended packaging application.

PVC/PE structures can be considered for packaging projects requiring customized forming, sealing and material performance. Buyers should specify the PE layer thickness, sealing surface and compatibility with the intended packaging equipment.

PVC/PVDC/PE Film for Multilayer Pharmaceutical Packaging

PVC/PVDC/PE is a multilayer material structure combining PVC, PVDC and PE components. Depending on the actual layer sequence, the PVC base provides the forming structure, PVDC contributes barrier performance, and PE can provide additional flexibility or a functional sealing layer.

This type of composite film can be evaluated for pharmaceutical packaging projects requiring a combination of forming, barrier and sealing properties. The exact layer arrangement, coating weight and sealing surface must be confirmed in the approved technical specification.

Key Features of Pharmaceutical PVC Film

Excellent Transparency and Product Visibility

Rigid PVC pharmaceutical film provides a transparent packaging surface that allows tablets and capsules to be visually inspected without opening the blister pack. Clear film is widely used where product visibility and consistent appearance are important.

Thermoformability and Dimensional Consistency

Pharmaceutical PVC film is designed for thermoforming into blister cavities. Uniform thickness, dimensional stability and controlled forming behavior are important for maintaining consistent cavity geometry and supporting efficient blister production.

Moisture and Oxygen Barrier Options

PVC/PVDC structures offer improved moisture and gas barrier performance compared with standard rigid PVC film. The required barrier level depends on the pharmaceutical formulation, coating weight, packaging structure and intended shelf life.

Heat-Sealing and Composite Layer Options

PVC/PE and other composite structures can be developed for specific sealing and processing requirements. Film selection should consider the sealing material, contact surface, equipment settings and compatibility with the complete blister packaging system.

Custom Thickness, Width and Coating Weight

HSQY offers different film thicknesses, web widths, colors and roll configurations. For PVC/PVDC products, coating weight can be selected according to the required barrier performance and approved product specifications.

Applications of PVC Film for Pharmaceutical Packaging

Different pharmaceutical film structures are selected according to product sensitivity, blister design, forming depth and packaging process. The following applications describe the product uses listed for HSQY's material range.

Tablet and Capsule Blister Packaging

Rigid PVC film is commonly used to form blister cavities for tablets, capsules and pills. Its transparency allows the contents to remain visible, while its forming characteristics support different blister cavity designs.

Moisture-Sensitive Pharmaceutical Products

PVC/PVDC film can be selected for solid oral dosage forms requiring enhanced moisture protection. The appropriate PVDC coating weight should be determined according to the pharmaceutical product's stability requirements and validated packaging specifications.

Pharmaceutical and Medical Packaging

Rigid PVC and composite PVC films can be evaluated for selected pharmaceutical and medical packaging applications. The material grade and complete packaging system must meet the relevant product-contact, regulatory and performance requirements of the intended market.

Cosmetic and Personal Care Packaging

PVC/PE composite films can also be evaluated for selected cosmetic and personal care packaging applications where the required forming and sealing properties are compatible with the product.

Other Specialty Packaging Applications

Selected multilayer PVC structures may also be considered for oral liquids, suppositories and other specialty packaging formats. Perfume and alcohol packaging should be evaluated separately according to product compatibility and applicable material requirements.

Roll Specifications and Customization Options

For pharmaceutical film converters and blister packaging manufacturers, roll dimensions and winding specifications are important for machine compatibility. HSQY offers different widths, thicknesses and roll diameters according to the selected material structure.

Film Thickness: Available thickness ranges from 0.13 mm to 0.50 mm depending on the selected film structure.

Web Width: Maximum listed widths range from 800 mm to 1000 mm depending on the material structure. Slit widths can be discussed according to production capability.

Roll Diameter: The listed maximum roll diameter is 600 mm for the four structures.

Color: Transparent and customized color options are available for selected structures.

PVDC Coating: PVC/PVDC film can be supplied with different coating weights, including 40 g, 60 g and 90 g in the listed configurations. Other requirements should be confirmed during technical review.

Technical Documents and Quality Information

Pharmaceutical packaging manufacturers should review material specifications, test reports and applicable compliance documents before approving a film for production. The required documentation depends on the selected material grade, intended product contact, packaging process and destination market.
