Standard aluminum household foil is typically 0.016mm thick and heavy duty foil roll is typically 0.024 mm (0.94 mils).At home, people use aluminum foil to store food. People may also use aluminum foil to wrap and protect delicate foods such as vegetables when grilling. Finally, it can be used to line grill pans to keep things tidy, and to scrub pots or grill grates to remove stubborn stains and residues.
Aluminum foil protects food by blocking oxygen, odor, bacteria, light and moisture from contacting the food. This makes the food last longer. Aluminum can also act as an insulator in hot and cold conditions, so the temperature of the food does not change for several hours.
Thickness is one of the most basic and important physical properties of aluminum foil. The thickness of aluminum foil has a certain relationship with its barrier properties. As the thickness of aluminum foil increases, its transmittance to oxygen, water vapor, light, etc. gradually decreases, and its barrier properties are correspondingly higher.
The thickness difference of aluminum foil refers to the thickness difference in the rolling direction and the thickness difference along the width direction of the aluminum foil, which is usually referred to as the longitudinal thickness difference and the transverse thickness difference.
In order to control the thickness of aluminum foil during rolling, it is necessary to accurately and quickly measure the actual thickness of the aluminum foil during rolling, and timely control and correct the thickness deviation according to the measurement results.
The thickness of aluminum foil depends on the purpose of using it. Household aluminum foil usually has a thickness of 8 mic, 9 mic, 10 mic, 11 mic, 12 mic, 14 mic, 15 mic, 16 mic, 17 mic and 18 mic. In the industrial field, thicker aluminum foil is needed, about 0.04 mm to 0.2 mm, in order to better prevent corrosion, electromagnetic radiation and other effects. The average cost of aluminum foil for different thicknesses is different. Welcome to inquire what you need from us.
