1. Overview of specifications and models of aluminum foil paper
Aluminum foil paper is a thin packaging material made of aluminum as the main raw material and processed through multiple processes such as extrusion. According to different usage requirements, the specifications and models of aluminum foil paper also vary. Let’s introduce the specifications and models of aluminum foil paper in detail.
1. Thickness
The thickness of aluminum foil paper is usually expressed in micron (μm). Common thicknesses are 6μm, 7μm, 9μm, 11μm, 12μm, 15μm, 20μm, etc. The thicker the thickness, the better the barrier properties of aluminum foil and the stronger its heat resistance.
2. Width
The width of aluminum foil paper generally refers to international standards. Common widths are 300mm, 450mm, 500mm, etc. Aluminum foil paper with a larger width is suitable for automatic production by large machines, while aluminum foil paper with a smaller width is more suitable for manual packaging.
3. Length
The length of aluminum foil paper is usually expressed in meters (m). Common lengths are 50m, 100m, 200m, etc. The longer the length, the greater the weight of each roll of aluminum foil and the longer the use length.
2. Common uses and recommended specifications and models
1. Food packaging
In food packaging, in addition to keeping the food fresh and hygienic, it also involves issues such as warmth and insulation. For general food packaging, it is recommended to use aluminum foil paper with a thickness of 7μm, a width of 450mm, and a length of 100m. For foods that are easily scorched at high temperatures, such as meat, it is recommended to choose aluminum foil with a thickness of 12 μm or more.
2. Pharmaceutical packaging
For pharmaceutical packaging, in addition to maintaining the quality and safety of pharmaceuticals, issues such as light isolation and moisture resistance also need to be considered. Common pharmaceutical packaging aluminum foil paper thickness is generally 20μm, width is 500mm, and length is 100m.
3. Home baking
In home baking, the thickness of aluminum foil commonly used is about 15 μm, and the width and length can be selected according to needs. It should be noted that when using aluminum foil for baking, it is not advisable to let the aluminum foil come into contact with food to avoid adverse effects on the body.
3. Conclusion
This article introduces in detail the specifications and models of aluminum foil paper and the recommended specifications and models for different uses. It is intended to help readers better understand the characteristics and uses of aluminum foil paper, so as to make purchase more conveniently. In actual use, it is also necessary to select the appropriate specifications and models of aluminum foil paper according to the specific situation.
