Aluminium foil
Aluminium foil is aluminium prepared in thin metal leaves with a thickness of less than 0.2mm (7.9 mils); thinner gauges down to 4 micrometers are also commonly used. Standard household foil is typically 0.016 mm (0.63 mils) thick, and heavy-duty household foil is typically 0.024 mm (0.94 mils). And the air conditioner foil can be thinner than 0.0047mm, and some food foil thinner than 0.002mm. The foil is pliable and can be readily bent or wrapped around objects. Thin foils are fragile and are sometimes laminated with other materials such as plastics or paper to make them stronger and more useful. It’s used industrially for a variety of purposes, including packing, insulation and transportation. At home, people use aluminum foil for food storage, to cover baking surfaces and to wrap foods, such as meats, to prevent them from losing moisture while cooking.

How Is Aluminium Foil Made?
Aluminum foil is produced by rolling sheet ingots cast from molten billet aluminium, then re-rolling on sheet and foil rolling mills to the desired thickness, or by continuously casting and cold rolling. To maintain a constant thickness in aluminium foil production, beta radiation is passed through the foil to a sensor on the other side. If the intensity becomes too high, then the rollers adjust, increasing the thickness. If the intensities become too low and the foil has become too thick, the rollers apply more pressure, causing the foil to be made thinner. The rolls of aluminum foil are then slit on slitter rewinding machines into smaller rolls. Roll slitting and rewinding is an essential part of the finishing process.

- Tensile Strength
- Thermal Conductivity
- Weldability
- Formability
- Corrosion Resistance
Applications of Aluminium Foil
Aluminum foil can be used for a wide range of applications:
- Automobile application
- Heat transfer (fin material, weld tube material)
- Packaging
- Packaging
- Insulation
- Electromagnetic shielding
- Cooking
- Art and decoration
- Geochemical sampling
- Ribbon microphones
Advantages of Aluminium Foil
- Aluminium foil has a shiny metallic luster, decorative.
- Non-toxic, tasteless, odorless.
- Relatively lightweight, the proportion is only one-third of iron, copper.
- Full-extension, thin, low weight per unit area.
- Blackout good, reflective rate of 95%.

Why Use Aluminium Foil?
Aluminium foil is prepared in thin sheets and used in a wide range of applications, from everyday household foil to heavy-duty, heat-resistant industrial foil rolls. Aluminium foil is extremely pliable and can be bent or wrapped around objects with ease. Typical finishes are available in pack rolled (one side bright/one side matte), two sides polished and mill finish. Millions of tons of aluminium foil are used throughout the world to protect and package foods, cosmetics and chemical products. Aluminum is a durable and easily used material, making it an ideal option for several industrial applications.
How Do I Know Which Aluminium Foil To Use?
Standard Aluminium Foil – Great for wrapping lighter individual items and covering containers for storage. Our aluminium foil is 0.0005 – 0.0007 thick.
Heavy Duty Aluminium Foil – Is used in cooking situations for lining pans and cooking sheets. Great for moderate heat. The CHAL heavy duty foil is 0.0009 thick.
Extra Heavy Duty Aluminium Foil – Ideal for high heat situations and heavy wrapping situations. Great for lining grills and coming in direct contact with flames. To be used for wrapping heavy meats such as briskets and slabs of ribs. The CHAL extra heavy duty foil is 0.0013 thick.
Is It Safe to Use Aluminium Foil?
Aluminum is one of the most abundant metals on earth. It’s naturally occurring in most foods, including fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, grains and dairy products. Besides, some of the aluminium you eat comes from processed food additives, such as preservatives, coloring agents, anti-caking agents and thickeners.
Regardless, the aluminum content of food and medication isn’t considered a problem, as only a tiny amount of the aluminum you ingest is absorbed. The rest is passed in your urine feces. Furthermore, in healthy people, absorbed aluminum is later excreted in your urine.
So, the small amount of aluminium you ingest daily is considered safe.

Copper sheet is a very workable and malleable form of metal, high in electrical and thermal conductivity, and provides excellent corrosion resistance. A beautiful and versatile metal, copper has been utilized for thousands of years. Historically, it served as a favorite choice in making tools, vessels, and sculptures. Copper is also known for its beautiful patinas. When exposed, unsealed, to an outdoor environment, copper begins to oxidize. This exposure creates beautiful color variations in the form of a patina. The coloring of the patina will change and develop character over time while serving to protect the metal from deterioration. People will also create a patina quickly with the use of chemical mixtures that speed the process up and allow a patina to develop without outdoor exposure. Copper sheets can also be hammered, tooled, or embossed for added texture and decorative or functional appeal and come in many thicknesses from very thin copper foil to thick copper plate. It also comes in many alloys that blend other metals with copper. At Grand Copper, we sell pure copper -C110 (other alloys and tempers available upon request). This high purity provides the premium quality needed for projects and applications in a wide range of industries and uses. We take pride in providing the best material. Our high-quality, affordable material and friendly, first-rate customer service have made us a leader in the industry for over a decade.
