The aluminum is of excellent thermal conductivity, lightweight, formability, hygiene and safety and high recycling value. The many advantages of aluminum foil packaging make it widely used in food, pharmaceutical, tobacco packaging. The common alloys are 1060, 3104, 3105, 8011, 8021, etc.
The 1000, 3000 and 5000 aluminum foil paper is mainly used for can lid material, can body and bottle cap material. 8000 series alumnum foil is the main alloy, which has a wider application such as aluminum foil container, food wrapping foil, PTP aluminum foil, milk powder lid, yogurt lid, sealing foil, aluminum foil for toothpaster, cake tray,etc.
The household aluminum foil is widely used in cooking, freezing, fresh-keeping, baking,etc. In the refrigerator or freezer, the food wrapping foil can be directly wrapped on the food, which can keep the food from being deformed and avoid the water loss of fish, vegetables, fruits, and dishes.
Because PTP aluminum foil is of light weight, excellent light-shielding, high moisture resistance, and barrier properties, it has been one of the main forms of pharmaceutical packaging. It can be divided into hard aluminum foil and soft aluminum foil. The former is mostly used for blister packaging of pharmaceutical tablets and capsules, while the latter is generally used as the outer packaging of powder particles and powders.
There is the aluminum foil packaging specification.
