Aluminum Foil Types
Food Container Foil
Food container foil is a disposable lunch box, and the thickness is generally 0.03mm ~ 0.20mm. It is based on 3000 series or 8000 series aluminum ingot as raw material, through cold rolling or hot rolling into uniform thickness, smooth surface, no pinhole, no dust particles, no odor of aluminum foil mother roller, through special equipment and mold one-time automatic cold stamping molding production process.
Household Foil
Main function of household foil is to provide a protective barrier to the food, helping to maintain freshness, flavor and moisture. Aluminum foil has good and uniform heat conductivity and heating effect, therefore it applied to the oven, steam box, etc., directly on the original package.Main alloys are 8011 and 3003, thicknesses is 0.009 to 0.02 mm.
Flexible Packaging Foil
Flexible packaging is a bag container made of soft composite packaging materials. What’s more, it mainly used for food and medicine packaging bags. Flexible packaging not only has the effect of moisture-proof and fresh-keeping, but also can print various patterns and characters, which is the ideal material for modern commercial packaging. Commom alloys are 1235, 8079, and the thickness: 0.0065 – 0.009.
Blister Foil
The foil has the advantages of non-toxic, corrosion resistance, impermeability, heat resistance, moisture resistance, light resistance, high temperature sterilization, etc. The main applications are the blister packaging of drug capsules, tablets, and the bag-like packaging of powder particles and water agents. Common foils on the market have two temper. Temper :O, cold-stamping, used for high-grade pharmaceutical packaging; Temper :H18, after coating, used for ptp medicinal aluminum foil, commonly used thickness: 0.02-0.05mm. Common alloy: 8011, 8021, 8079.
Honeycomb Aluminum Foil
Honeycomb aluminum foil is a sandwich structure, with light weight, high strength, stiffness and other advantages. The application of it are high-rise building exterior wall decoration, honeycomb aluminum foil interlayer contains a lot of air, can be sound insulation, heat insulation, waterproof, moisture-proof, heat preservation, no harmful gas release. commonly used thickness: 0.03-0.15mm. Common alloy: 3003.
Fin Stock Foil
Fin stock foil is a special material for the manufacture of heat exchanger fins for air conditioners. It is mainly used for the production of air conditioning condensers and evaporators. What’s more, due to differences in performance, it divided into two categories such as plain aluminum foil and hydrophilic coated aluminum foil.commonly used thickness: 0.105-0.2mm. Common alloy:8011 3003 3102 .
Label Foil
Wine label foil is mainly used for beer bottle top label, neck label production, but also suitable for other bottles of bottle top label, neck label production. Commonly used thickness: 0.009-0.02mm. Common alloy:8021 8079 8011 .
Milk Powder Lid Foil
It is a kind of packaging material, the surface of it covere with a layer of aluminum foil film, compared with the traditional metal cover, easy to open, safe, and does not hurt hands. milk powder lid foil is the theoretical barrier performance and moisture resistance of better food packaging materials.commonly used thickness: 0.016-0.05mm. Common alloy:8011， 3003, 3004，8006.
Flexible Duct Foil
Flexible Duct foil is made of stretched pure aluminum foil, which is tightly clamped by spiral continuously. It generally covered with a layer of glue during production to isolate the oxidation reaction between aluminum and oxygen in the air. Usage of it for air duct ventilation at the end air supply stage on the fresh air system. Commonly used thickness: 0.05-0.12mm. Common alloy:8011，3003.
Cigarette Aluminum Foil
Cigarette aluminum foil is cigarette box lining paper, and ordinary paper composite made. The aluminum foil paper as the inner lining paper of cigarette mainly includes rolled aluminum foil paper and aluminum paper. The aluminum foil inside the cigarette box has two main functions. First, the aroma preservation, aluminum foil can prevent the smell of cigarettes, while avoiding the smell of cigarettes erosion of other items; The second is mildew proof. Aluminum foil can block moisture, effectively moisture-proof, so as to avoid mildew in a humid environment.
