The alfoil^® advantage starts with choice. Available in both PVdC-coated and Super B high-barrier structures, alfoil^® offers a range of duplex and triplex configurations to meet the moisture protection needs of sensitive pharmaceutical products.  All alfoil^® films are PFAS-free, supporting compliance with evolving global regulations. Whether you choose the proven protection of PVdC or the enhanced barrier of Super B in a triplex structure, alfoil^® delivers consistent performance, supply reliability, and regulatory peace of mind.

alfoil® films for pharmaceutical applications include a high-performance coating technology proven to improve packaging line performance and reduce overall packaging costs

alfoil® films are fully PFAS-free, giving pharmaceutical brands a high-barrier solution that supports evolving global regulatory requirements. With no fluorinated chemistry, alfoil® maintains exceptional moisture protection while aligning with the industry’s shift toward safer, more sustainable materials.

alfoil® films offer exceptional structural stability, ensuring consistent forming performance and maintaining cavity integrity during packaging and distribution. This stability helps protect sensitive products while supporting efficient, repeatable processing on modern thermoforming equipment.

Designed for operational efficiency, the proprietary alfoil® coating enhances film processability, allowing packaging lines to run faster and more consistently. This results in higher throughput and improved line performance.

alfoil® is available in multiple structures, allowing manufacturers to choose the exact barrier and performance profile needed for their application. From classic PVdC/PVC to advanced HBC constructions, alfoil® provides flexibility without compromising protection.

High-barrier films play a critical role in pharmaceutical packaging by protecting sensitive drug products from environmental factors that can compromise stability, shelf life, and clinical effectiveness. Moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) and oxygen transmission rate (OTR) are two of the most important indicators of a film’s protective performance: the lower the values, the stronger the barrier. alfoil^® films deliver exceptional performance across both metrics, combining advanced coatings with optimized material structures to dramatically limit the ingress of moisture and oxygen. This ensures that tablets, capsules, and other solid-oral dose forms remain protected from degradation, discoloration, or potency loss throughout their lifecycle. As regulatory expectations tighten and global supply chains demand more robustness, high-barrier solutions like alfoil^® enable pharmaceutical manufacturers to maintain product quality, reduce risk, and safeguard patient outcomes.

Are you ready to make the switch?  alfoil^® gives you the confidence to move forward—whether you’re responding to regulatory shifts, optimizing performance, or securing a more reliable supply chain. With PFAS-free formulations, proven barrier protection, and global support, it’s more than a film. It’s a long-term solution for pharmaceutical packaging.

alfoil® films can be tailored to deliver precisely the high-barrier performance your application requires, with PVdC formulations that achieve mid to ultra-high protection against moisture and oxygen (40–180 g/m²). alfoil® structures are available in duplex, triplex, and symmetrical variations and may also be customized with specific colors and UV-absorbers, giving you greater flexibility in both functionality and design.
