The properties of aluminium foil

Today we would like to summarise nine excellent properties of aluminium foil, which can be used for food, etc. This makes it safe and hygienic. If you would like to buy aluminium foil for your food containers and other products, please contact us.

(1) The surface of aluminium foil is clean and hygienic and no bacteria or micro-organisms can grow on its surface.

(2) Aluminium foil is a non-toxic packaging material that can come into direct contact with food without any health risks.

(3) Aluminium foil is a tasteless and odourless packaging material and will not cause any odour to the food it is packaged in.

(4) If the foil itself is not volatile, it will never dry out or shrink on its own or on the packaged food.

(5) Aluminium foil does not penetrate grease at high or low temperatures.

(6) Aluminium foil is an opaque packaging material and can be used for foodstuffs that are not exposed to sunlight, such as cream.

(7) Aluminium foil is very malleable, so it can be used to package products of various shapes.

Aluminium foil is hard and has high tension, but its tear strength is small, so it is extremely easy to tear, meaning that it is resistant to bracing but not to tearing.

Aluminium foil can be chemically contaminated when in contact with other heavy metals or heavy metal types, so care should be taken to store aluminium foil away from other metals.
