What is aluminum foil?

Aluminum foil is a stamping material made of metallic aluminum directly calendered into thin sheets and is widely used in food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications. The main production technology for aluminum foil is rolling. There are two recognized technologies for aluminum foil production: casting and rolling and hot rolling. Casting and rolling mainly involves melting the base material through a melting furnace, placing the aluminum melted into a liquid in a resting furnace, removing other metal impurities from the liquid through metal filtration, and making aluminum foil by cooling and casting and rolling. Hot rolling is mainly applicable to the production of aluminum foil alloy, and temperature control is required during the production process.

Applications of aluminum foil products in the industry:

1、Air-conditioning aluminum foil
2、Packaging aluminum foil (cigarette packaging aluminum foil and decorative packaging aluminum foil)
3、Cable foil

Application

Aluminum foil is mainly used in packaging, home appliances, electronic communication, transportation, printing, chemical, building materials, decoration and other industries.
