Aluminium foil was first produced in France in 1903. In 1911, a brand based in Bern, Switzerland, began wrapping its chocolate bars in aluminum foil. Their unique triangular packaging is still widely available today. At that time, aluminium foil food, as the most expensive packaging material, was only used for high-end packaging.
Due to the strong barrier properties of aluminum foil, in addition to wrapping food, it can also wrap trees to play the role of fire prevention. The huge redwood tree and the historic park sign are covered with a layer of glittering aluminum foil to resist KNP compounding fire flames. It is used to protect homes and natural wonders, such as the famous General Sherman tree.
In the Chinese market, the development of aluminum foil packaging is faster, mainly for two reasons: On one hand, the development of China's flexible packaging market is significantly different from that of developed countries; on the other hand, the domestic aluminum-plastic composite and aluminum-paper composite technologies continue to mature, and the production cost is reduced, which promotes the popularization and application of aluminum-based composite materials in the Chinese packaging market.
In 2020, the development of aluminum foil has entered a new era. The emergence of new types of household foils has opened up new application scenarios for aluminum foil paper, making full use of the material properties of aluminum foil with high barrier properties, effectively blocking the necessary conditions for the survival of microorganisms such as air and light, thus exerting a bacteriostatic effect, and finally making food keep fresh.
In addition to its strong barrier properties, aluminum foil also has excellent thermal conductivity, so it is generally used for barbecues in daily cooking. Haomei Aluminum offers rich alloys like aluminum foil 8011, 8021, 8079, 8006, 3003,etc.
