Product Introduction

Aluminum foil is widely utilized in the food industry for various purposes, including take-out meals, ready-to-eat meals, and food delivery services. Aluminum foil for food container, produced from high-quality aluminum alloy, possesses exceptional barrier properties that safeguard the freshness, flavor, and quality of the enclosed food. Aluminum foil for food container effectively blocks moisture, light, and oxygen, thereby preventing food spoilage and prolonging shelf life. The flexibility of aluminum foil for food containers allows for easy shaping and secure sealing, making it highly convenient for packaging diverse food items. It also exhibits heat resistance, enabling safe reheating and serving directly in the container. Thanks to its hygienic and disposable characteristics, aluminum foil is a favored choice in the food industry for packaging, storing, and transporting food items.

Specifications

Product Application

A common comparison of aluminum foil alloys for use in food containers is that of alloys 3004 O, 8006 H22/24/O, and 8011 H22/24. Deep-drawn food containers can benefit from the good formability and moderate corrosion resistance of Alloy 3004 O. Specifically crafted for food container lids and closures, Alloy 8006 H22/24/O offers exceptional strength and formability. It is simple to form into various lid shapes. Because of its many uses, including good formability, barrier qualities, strength, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance, alloy 8011 H22/24 is frequently used in food containers. It guarantees that food flavor and freshness are preserved. Which of these alloys is best depends on the particular needs of the container, including its shape, lid design, and the ideal ratio of strength to formability and corrosion resistance.

Production Process

The production process of aluminum foil for food containers begins with heating and melting aluminum ingots, which are then rolled and flattened into thin sheets. These industrial foils undergo a rigorous cleaning process to remove impurities before undergoing a crucial transformation into food foil. This transformation involves applying a food-grade coating or lamination that acts as a protective barrier against moisture, oxygen, and external elements. After coating, the foil is further processed to achieve the desired thickness and smoothness. It is then annealed for flexibility and stress removal. Finally, the transformed foil is cut into appropriate sizes and shapes, such as rolls or pre-cut sheets, ready to be used in food packaging applications. This comprehensive production process ensures that the resulting food foil meets the necessary hygiene and safety requirements, making it suitable for packaging a wide range of food products while preserving their quality and freshness.
