Aluminium Foils

Aluminum foil is a thin sheet of aluminum, often less than 0.2 mm (200 microns) thick, made through a rolling process. It’s highly flexible, lightweight, and durable, making it a versatile material for various industries.

Key Properties

  • Lightweight: Extremely light but strong for its thickness.
  • Barrier Properties: Acts as an excellent barrier against light, oxygen, moisture, and bacteria, preserving food and pharmaceuticals.
  • Thermal Conductivity: Efficient at conducting heat, ideal for cooking and insulation.
  • Corrosion-Resistant: Naturally forms a protective oxide layer.
  • Ductility: Easily shaped, folded, or wrapped without breaking.
  • Recyclable: 100% recyclable without degradation in quality.
  • Exterior Cladding: Used for façades and curtain walls for commercial and residential buildings.
  • Interior Decoration: Partitions, false ceilings, and walls.
  • Signage: Widely used for advertising boards and digital signage.

Transportation

  • Bus body panels, interior linings, and decorative panels in trains and airplanes.

Industrial Applications

  • Used in modular structures, kiosks, and specialized enclosures.

Applications

     1.Packaging

  • Food Industry: Used for wrapping, cooking, and preserving food products.
  • Pharmaceuticals: As blister packs for medicines.
  • Beverage: Lining for juice pouches and bottle caps.
  1. Construction and Insulation
  • Used in reflective insulation materials.
  • Acts as a vapor barrier in building insulation.
  1. Automotive
  • Applied in thermal insulation for engine parts and batteries in electric vehicles.
  1. Household and Industrial Use
    • Baking, grilling, and storage.
    • Industrial applications include shielding cables and insulation.

Common Grades and Specifications

  • Common alloys: 1050, 1100, 1235, 8011 (pure or with small additives).
  • Thicknesses vary depending on the use:
    • Household: 8–25 microns
    • Pharmaceutical: 20–30 microns
    • Industrial: 50–150 microns
