8006 Aluminum Foil Temper and Specifications

8006 Aluminum Foil Tempers

8006 aluminum foil is typically supplied in H18 (hard) or H19 (extra hard) temper to provide maximum strength and hardness. Sometimes, it is also available in O temper (soft) for deep-drawing processing, which hardens after forming.

H22

H24

8006 H18 Aluminum Foil

8006 H18 aluminum foil is in a fully hard state with high strength and excellent barrier properties. It is widely used where durability and puncture resistance are required.

Electronic cable shielding

High-strength industrial packaging

Roof waterproofing materials

Pharmaceutical outer packaging

Construction and decoration materials

8006 H19 Aluminum Foil

8006 H19 aluminum foil has an extra hard temper, stronger than H18, with almost no ductility. It is ideal for applications requiring maximum strength and barrier performance.

High-end food and medicine blister packaging

Battery shell and insulation shielding

Industrial laminated foils

Retort-resistant packaging

Protective covering materials

8006 O Aluminum Foil

8006 O aluminum foil is in a soft annealed state, offering excellent ductility and formability. It is easy to emboss, stretch, and fold, making it suitable for daily and food-related applications.

Household aluminum foil

Aviation food containers

Baking trays and cake cups

Chocolate and confectionery wrapping

Yogurt lids and easy-peel seals

Flexible foil pouches

O temper (annealed): Fully annealed state, with the highest plasticity.

H14 temper: Work-hardened without annealing, medium hardness.

H16 temper: A higher degree of work hardening.

H18 temper: Full hard state, with the highest strength and hardness.

H19 temper: Extra hard state, with strength higher than H18.

H22 temper: Work-hardened and then partially annealed.

H24 temper: Work-hardened followed by partial annealing.

H26 temper: Work-hardened followed by near-full annealing.

H28 temper: Work-hardened followed by light annealing.

Among these, O temper is mainly used in scenarios requiring deep drawing or complex forming; H18 is suitable for applications requiring high strength and hardness; H22, H24, etc., balance strength and formability and are suitable for most meal box forming applications.

Temper	Thickness (mm)	Tensile Strength (MPa)	Elongation (%)
O	0.04–0.09	90–140	≥4
O	0.09–0.14	110–120	≥15
H24	0.035–0.090	125–155	≥5.0

8006 Aluminum Foil Specifications

Thickness: Aluminum foil for containers is relatively thick, commonly ranging from 0.05mm to 0.20mm (i.e., 50–200 microns). Foils used for sealing caps are thinner.

Surface: Can be one side bright (contact side with rollers, shiny) and one side dull (double-rolled contact side, matte). Coating, printing, and other post-processing are also possible.
