Aluminum foil has a wide application in household, pharmaceutical, battery, air conditioner, cigarette, cable, decoration, food container,etc. Among those applications, the top four uses of aluminum foil are hydrophilic aluminum foil, tobacco foil, decorative aluminum foil and cable aluminum foil.
Air conditioning foil 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 appearance of plain foil, before forming, a corrosion-resistant inorganic coating and a hydrophilic organic coating are applied to form a hydrophilic aluminum foil. Thickness of hydrophilic aluminum foil is 0.1mm-0.15mm. With the technological development, it has a tendency to be thinner.
Most of the cigarette packaging is made of aluminium foil. Of them, 30% use sprayed foil and 70% use rolled aluminum foil. China's cigarette aluminum foil paper accounts for 70% of the total double zero aluminum foil. At present, there are two or three companies in China that can produce high-quality cigarette foil including Haomei Aluminum.
Decorative aluminum foil features good colorability and high light and heat reflectivity. It also has the advantages of heat insulation, moisture proof, sound insulation, fire prevention and easy cleaning, etc., and has a luxurious appearance, convenient processing and fast construction device.
Cable aluminum foil is to make use of the sealing and shielding property of aluminum foil. After coating plastic film on one or both sides, the aluminum-plastic composite foil is used as a cable shield. The cable aluminum foil should be no pinholes and have high mechanical properties.
