Classification of aluminium foil coil

 Aluminium foil coil can be classified by thickness, alloy, surface treatment methods, application etc. Details are as below.

By thickness aluminium foil coil falls on three groups. Rolls between 0.1mm and 0.2mm thick, that is, with a thickness over 0.1mm, are called the heavy duty aluminum foil. Those between 0.01mm and 0.1mm thick are known as medium gauge foil, and those thinner than 0.01mm (thinnest 0.005mm) light gauge foil.

Alloys of aluminum foil coil cover 1060, 1070, 1100, 1235, 3003, 3004, 5052, 8011, 8006, 8021 and 8079. 1070 aluminum foil has high plasticity, corrosion resistance, good electrical and thermal conductivity. 1100 aluminum foil has good formability, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity and certain strength. 1060 industrial pure aluminum foil has high plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. The aluminum content of 1235 aluminum foil is not less than 99.35%, boasting good anti-rust properties, formability and welding properties. 8021 aluminum foil has excellent moisture resistance, shading and high barrier capacity. 8079 aluminum foil is an aluminum foil with high strength, good elongation and stretchability. All these alloys can be made into aluminium foil of the three thickness ranges mentioned above.

By surface treatment and process methods there are single-side bright aluminium foil (usually 0.025mm thick and below), double-side bright aluminium foil (usually 0.01mm thick and above), mill finish aluminium foil, embossed aluminum foil, laminated aluminum foil, coated aluminum foil and printing aluminum foil.

Aluminum coil foil rolls of varied specifications have the following applications.

Application	Alloy	Thickness (mm)	Process	End products
Insulation	8011-O, 1235-O	0.006～0.03	composite	Rock wool board, insulation tile
Battery	1235/1060/1070 -H18	0.012～0.035		Lithium battery
Tape	8011-O, 1235-O	0.01-0.05		Where electromagnetic shielding is required in various electronic products such as transformers, mobile phones, computers, PDAs, PDPs, LED displays, notebook computers, and copiers
Industrial foil	8011-O/H18			Water-proof
Heat sealing	8011-O	0.025～0.05	Composite, print	After printing or painting, it can be used for packaging milk products such as fresh milk and yogurt
Pharm foil	8011-H18, 8021-O	0.02～0.075	Composite, coat, print	After compounding and printing, it is widely used in the packaging of various medicine capsules, tablets and granules.
Aluminium foil for food container	8011-H24, 3003-H24, 8011-H22	0.02～0.20	punching	Semi-rigid container used for food packaging after being punched.
Air conditioning aluminium foil	3102, 8011-H22/H24/H26	0.08～0.2	punching	Air conditioner heat exchanger heat conduction fin foil
Cable aluminium foil strip	8011-O	0.1～0.2	composite	It is used to coat strong electric cables after aluminum-plastic composite
Cable wrapping	1235-O	0.006～0.04	Composite, slit	Wrap weak wires for shielding
Beer label	8011-O	0.009～0.012	print	Beer label
Power capacitor	1235-O	0.0045～0.009	Lining oil impregnated paper	Electronic power capacitor

Generally speaking, by application there are aluminum foil for food packaging, aluminum foil for medicine packaging, food container aluminium foil, battery aluminum, cable aluminium foil and air fin aluminium foil. Please note that Haomei supplies only raw aluminium foil coil rolls rather than end products with various process methods like coating, printing, embossing or composting. Namely, we supply aluminium foils of specifications in the second and third vertical lines only.
