Aluminum foil is produced by rolling aluminum slabs cast from molten aluminum in a rolling mill to the desired thickness less than 0.2 mm . It provides a complete barrier to light,oxygen, moisture and bacteria. For this reason, foil is used extensively in food packaging and pharmaceutical packaging. It is also used to make aseptic packaging that enables storage of perishable goods without refrigeration.

Aluminium Foil’s Amazing Properties:

• Cost-effective

• The barrier to moisture, oxygen and other gases, odours, light, fats and grease

• Excellent corrosion resistance

• Non-toxic; inert to most foods, drugs and cosmetics

• Imparts no detectable taste or odour to foodstuffs

• Hygienic: foil is sterilized during annealing and does not harbour or promote bacterial growth

• Non absorptive

• Withstands a wide range of temperatures from deep freeze to the oven

• Excellent thermal properties

• Excellent heat conductivity and heat dissipation

• Good electrical conductivity

• High surface reflectivity

• Good burst and tear strength yet lightweight and durable

• Excellent formability with dead fold properties

• High decorative appeal, excellent surface for printing, coating and laminating

• Compatible with other laminating material

• Recyclable
