PVC/PVDC Film for Pharma Blister Packaging
Product Overview
HealthPlast PVC/PVDC Film for Pharma Blister Packaging is a high-performance, dual-layer film specially designed for solid oral dosage forms requiring enhanced moisture and oxygen protection. By coating standard rigid pharmaceutical PVC with a precision-applied polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) layer, it offers a balanced solution between barrier performance, cost-efficiency, and thermoformability.
PVC/PVDC film is widely used in global blister packaging lines where environmental humidity presents a challenge, and product shelf life is critical.

FAQs – PVC/PVDC Film
Q1: What is the difference between single-side and double-side PVDC coating?
A: Single-side coating is standard for blister forming. Double-side is for duplex barrier where lidding foil is omitted or moisture exposure from both sides exists.
Q2: Is the PVDC FDA and EU compliant?
A: Yes. We use food/pharma-grade PVDC resin compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.1630 and EU Regulation No. 10/2011.
Q3: How does it compare to Alu-Alu foil?
A: While not matching Alu-Alu’s barrier strength, PVC/PVDC is more cost-effective and easier to thermoform, with lower environmental footprint.
Q4: Can it be used with tropical blister foil?
A: Yes. Many clients combine PVC/PVDC as forming film with Tropical Aluminum Foil as lidding layer for extreme humidity protection.
