In modern life, aluminum foil has become an "all-round player" in the field of food packaging. The key value of aluminum foil lies in its excellent barrier properties. Aluminum foil with a thickness of only 0.006-0.08 mm can effectively resist the invasion of oxygen, moisture and ultraviolet rays, delay the oxidation and deterioration of food, and extend the shelf life.
In the home, aluminum foil is often used to wrap leftovers, pastries or fresh ingredients to isolate air and moisture and keep food fresh. The airtightness of aluminum foil wrap can prevent external odors from penetrating, ensuring that the original flavor of the food is not disturbed. Its hygienic properties should not be ignored: the surface is smooth, non-porous and not easy to breed bacteria, meeting food contact safety standards.
Aluminum foil plays a much more important role in the kitchen than ordinary containers. When placed on the bottom of a baking tray during baking, it prevents food from sticking and simplifies the cleaning process; wrapping ingredients (such as baking fish in tin foil) can create a "steam cooking" environment to lock in nutrition and flavor. When wrapping meat or vegetables during baking, aluminum foil can not only lock in moisture, but also conduct heat evenly to prevent the ingredients from burning. When camping, aluminum foil can also be used to make simple grills or insulation pads, making it a convenient tool for outdoor cooking.
3003 aluminum foil has both strength and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for making food packaging that needs to be stored for a long time. For example, in the baking industry, its good thermal conductivity can evenly transfer heat to prevent local scorching of pastries; in industrial packaging, its puncture resistance can protect dry goods, sauces and other products from external damage.
8011 aluminum foil has excellent ductility. Its elongation can reach more than 20%, suitable for making ultra-thin household foil (such as 0.008mm). Its surface is smooth and non-porous, which can effectively block moisture and odor, and is often used for moisture-proof packaging of candies and chocolates.
8006 aluminum foil has a tensile strength of 110-140MPa and a higher elongation. Its hot rolling process gives the material a more uniform grain structure, which is particularly suitable for making wrinkle-free lunch boxes.
With a purity of up to 99.6%, 1060 aluminum foil has excellent thermal conductivity and is suitable for cooking aids that come into direct contact with food. For example, when wrapping fish for baking, its uniform thermal conductivity can lock in the umami flavor while avoiding the risk of aluminum ion precipitation.
