aluminum foil is widely used in food, beverages, cigarettes, pharmaceuticals, photographic bases, household daily necessities, etc., and is usually used as its packaging material; electrolytic capacitor materials; thermal insulation materials for buildings, vehicles, ships, houses, etc.; As a decorative gold and silver wire, wallpaper and various types of stationery printed matter and light industrial products, decorative trademarks.
Aluminum foil for soft package
The hardness of the aluminium refers to mechanical properties. The hard aluminium foil is stronger: it has higher tensile strength than a soft foil and a bit lower elongation. Soft foil is easier to bend and it holds the new shape better. The surface of soft foil is cleaner.
Applications of aluminum foil tray
packaging of foods
cosmetics
chemical products
industrial applications
Household aluminum foil
Aluminium packaging is light, flexible and easily recyclable. Furthermore, it is hygienic, non-toxic and helps in keeping the aroma of foods.
Aluminium foil acts as a total barrier to light and oxygen (which cause fats to oxidise or become rancid), odours and flavours, moistness, and germs, and so it is used broadly in food and pharmaceutical packaging, including long-life packs for drinks and dairy goods, which allows storing without refrigeration.
Aluminum foil container
Aluminum foil containers are formed by combining mechanical and air pressure to force light gauge aluminum foil into a shaped die cavity. Esthetically appealing aluminum foil containers are ideal for table-ready service after the container has functioned first as a package and a heating utensil.
Applications of aluminum foil tray
Family & kitchen use.
Food storage.
Hotel and restaurant food packaging and presentation.
Fast food and take away food.
Airline catering service.
Aluminum foil paper
Aluminium foil is aluminium prepared in thin metal leaves. The foil is pliable, and can be readily bent or wrapped around objects. Thin foils are fragile and are sometimes laminated with other materials such as plastics or paper to make them stronger and more useful.
Approximately 75% of aluminium foil is used for packaging of foods, cosmetics, and chemical products, and 25% is used for industrial applications (e.g., thermal insulation, electrical cables, and electronics). It can be easily recycled. Aluminium foil supplanted tin foil in the mid 20th century.
Aluminum foil for bottle caps
With induction sealing, a foil liner is placed underneath the cap on a bottle or jar. A heating head from an induction sealing machine is then placed over the cap and non-contact heat is applied. This is completely non-contact, as contact heat would likely melt the cap and jar.
It helps to prevent the introduction of chemicals and microbes that could spoil the products and/or cause illnesses Aluminum foil does reflect heat, as well as light energy. Aluminum foil reflects about 95% of the infrared heat that hits its surface, essentially blocking heat transfer. Aluminum foil also blocks the flow of radiation, making it useful in preventing heat loss.
Cigarette packaging
The foil enables the menthol to permeate within the tobacco but prevents it from escaping to the outside of the pack. Also, added product identity can be given by the use of embossed designs – textures, lacquer colours and logos.
Foil enhances the quality appearance of several premium cigarette brands, at the same time helping to protect important product components such as moisture and aroma. Embossed logos and designs keep their shape because of the alufoil layer.
Pharmaceutical aluminum foil
The aluminum foil is used to create a push-through closure with lid film or blister film where tablets and capsules are protected perfectly and hygienically. These blister packs are compact and easy to port and handle.
Pharmaceutical aluminum foil has the advantages of, corrosion resistance, impermeability, heat resistance, moisture resistance, light resistance and high temperature. It is mainly used for blister packaging of drug capsules and tablets and bag packaging of powder particles and water agents.
Thanks to its superior barrier properties, aluminium foils remains the material of choice for pharma. Impenetrable to moisture, oxygen and other gases, as well as micro-organisms and light, aluminium foil helps to keep medication in perfect condition for longer
