The Top Six Types of Aluminum Foils

Different types of aluminum foils are developed for the various applications. The top six ones are household aluminum foil, pharmaceutical aluminum foil, aluminum foil for air conditioner, food container aluminum foil, tobacco foil, cable aluminum foil.

Household aluminum foil

It is widely used in cooking, freezing, preservation, baking,etc. The aluminum foil can be directly wrapped on the food to keep its shape and prevent the water loss and the leakage or mixing of flavor. Because aluminum foil has good and uniform thermal conductivity and heating effect, it can be used in ovens, steamers, etc. to heat directly. The common thickness is 0.007-0.05mm.

Pharmaceutical aluminum foil

The pharmaceutical aluminum foil is non-toxic, corrosion-resistant, impermeable, heat-resistant, moisture-proof, light-blocking, high-temperature sterilization, etc. It is mainly used the blister packaging of capsules and tablets, and bag packaging of powder particles and liquid. The common tempers are O and H18. The common thickness is between 0.006-0.08mm.

Aluminum foil for air conditioner

It is a special material for manufacturing heat exchanger fins for air conditioners. The air conditioning foil used in the early days was plain foil. In order to improve the surface performance of the plain foil, an anticorrosive inorganic coating and a hydrophilic organic coating are applied before forming to form a hydrophilic foil, which is widely used in air conditioner, refrigerators and other refrigeration equipment.

Food container aluminum foil

Since the food container aluminum foil is of attractive appearance, convenient use, safety and hygiene and no odor pollution, the aluminum foil tray is widely use in fast food restaurants, takeaway fast-matching stores, high-end hotels, aviation tableware, family kitchens, etc.

Tobacco foil

Tobacco foil is mainly used as the inner lining paper of cigarette boxes after being compounded with paper. The aluminum foil paper in the cigarette has two main functions: one is to preserve the fragrance that the aluminum foil paper can prevent the smell of cigarettes from emitting, and at the same time prevent the smell of cigarettes from eroding other items; the other is to prevent mold. The thickness is basically 0.0063-0.0065mm.

Cable aluminum foil

The cable aluminum foil is is used as a cable shield by making use of the aluminum foil’ airtightness and shielding properties. The cable foil requires less oil on the surface, no holes, and high mechanical properties. The overall quality requirements are not high, but the length requirements are extremely strict.
