Uses of aluminum foils
Food packaging
Aluminum foil protects against moisture, light, oxygen and bacteria, which are key requirements in industries such as food and beverage and pharmaceuticals. In addition, aluminum foil has a reflectivity of 88% and is used as a thermal insulation material.
Sunlight quickly affects many foods, damaging their appearance and flavor. Aluminum foil is the most practical solution for these packaging needs, and as a result, this material has been regarded as the ideal core packaging material for dairy products, confectionery snacks and beverages. At present, flexible packaging is mainly used for food, with the fastest growing areas being coffee, snacks, fresh food, prepared food and pet food.
Market demand for aluminum foil packaging is expected to grow as aluminum is lighter, more durable, more flexible and has barrier properties compared to plastic and glass. Aluminum's ease of use, convenience, safety, light weight and durability make it ideal for use in a variety of industries and homes.
Pharmaceutical packaging
The pharmaceutical industry often uses blister packaging for pharmaceutical products. Blister packaging consists of a push-fit closure made of aluminum foil and molded plastic with cavities to hold individual tablets. Different types of medicines use different blister packaging materials. Aluminum-plastic packaging is mainly used for pharmaceutical packaging, but all-aluminum packaging is also used for other pharmaceutical packaging.
Cigarette packaging
Some companies have identified the unique barrier properties of aluminum foil to protect tobacco products from moisture, deterioration, aroma transmission, and bacteria by maintaining a microclimate inside the package. The growth of the tobacco industry is expected to drive the adoption of aluminum foil packaging in the future.
Food wrapping and cooking
In addition, aluminum foil is increasingly used to cook a variety of foods because it is easy to use, disposable, and conducts heat twice as fast as ordinary metals. As part of home cooking, aluminum foil is used to package and bake foods. The thickness of household foil is 18 microns. Welcome to inquire aluminium foil 18 micron price from us.
