Aluminum Alloys Used for Food Container Foil
The common alloys of food container foil are 3003, 3004, 5052, 8006 and 8011 aluminium foil. What are their properties and advantages? 8011 aluminium foil is often used. Learn more.
Aluminum food container is made of aluminum foil and is a kind of tableware that is widely used. Its thickness is between 0.03mm-0.20mm. Aluminum food tray can be heated in a microwave oven or oven.
The common alloys of food container foil are 3003, 3004, 5052, 8006 and 8011 aluminium foil. After cold-rolling or hot-rolling, it becomes an aluminum foil roll with uniform thickness, smooth surface, no pinholes, no dust particles, and no peculiar smell. The aluminum food tray is made of aluminum foil roll by one-time automatic cold stamping with special equipment and molds. It is widely used for food cooking, baking, freezing, preservation, etc.

Al-Fe-Si elements are added to 8011 aluminum foil. The tensile strength is 125-165, the yield strength is 110, and the elongation is 2-5. 8011 alloy is often used to produce aluminum foil, not commonly to make aluminum plate. Haomei 8011 aluminium foil has undergone strict pinhole detection, degreasing process and shape control, which can achieve ultra-high sealing performance and protect the quality of the wrapped object.
Under the same tempers, the elongation of 3003 is lower than that of 8011 aluminum foil, but the tensile strength of 3003 aluminum foil is higher, and foreign customers mostly use 3003 aluminum foil. After multiple tests of bacteria and mold, the heavy metal content of Haomei 3003 aluminum foil is very low, ensuring safety and hygiene. The food container made of it meets the national food container hygiene standards.
Compared with 8011 aluminium foil, the tensile strength of 8006 food container foil is higher, which can reach 125-135. At the same time, the cupping value and elongation of 8006 aluminum foil are much higher than that of 8011 aluminum foil. More importantly, 8006 aluminum foil is produced by hot rolling process. After stamping, the edge has no wrinkles and has a beautiful appearance. It is widely used in aircraft food container in Europe. Welcome to leave message below to inquire what you need.
