Industrial aluminium foil roll is very thin aluminum sheet of rolled aluminium supplied in its pure form or in a variety of alloys and tempers which give a wide choice of tensile properties.So aluminium foil is a very thin aluminium sheet with a gauge below 200 µm, down to 4 µm.The aluminum foil thickness ranges from 0.0065 mm (or 6.5 µm) to the defined upper limit of 0.2 mm (or 200 µm). Material thicker than 0.2 mm is defined as aluminium sheet or aluminium strip.
One of the largest applications of aluminium foil in flexible food packaging, which includes aseptic beverage cartons, confectionary, bakery and other oven cooked products, coffee, tea and chocolate drinks, tobacco products, and pharmaceutical packaging.
It is a key and efficient material, developed more than 100 years ago, and used in many different applications, specially food, beverage and pharmaceutical packaging, as well as in technical applications. The global aluminium foil market had a size in 2010 of 3.4 millions tons. China is now the largest producer in the world with 48% of the total capacity, and the professional manufacturer belong to Haomei aluminum .followed by Europe (25%), N.America (14%°) and Japan (5%)
Packaging (food, beverage, pharma) dominates the global aluminium foil market with 60% of the total demand, 40% being used for technical application like heat exchangers (automotive or building), insulation, cable wrap
One of the largest applications of aluminium foil is flexible packaging, which includes aseptic beverage cartons, confectionary, bakery and other oven cooked products, coffee, tea and chocolate drinks, tobacco products, and pharmaceutical packaging.
Other large applications of auminium foil include aluminium foil containers, where aluminium foil properties offer a great range of solutions for food packaging, and Household foil, which became in many countries an essential part of modern life, for cooking, or for many uses at home, or in commercial kitchens (restaurants, hospitals, schools, canteens)
Beside all these food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications, aluminium foil is also used in many technical applications, mainly heat exchangers for car and trucks, and building, and also for insulation and cable wrap.
