New Application of Aluminum Foil, Making Small Aluminum Foil Materials Great Use

China is a major producer and consumer of aluminum foil, with output and consumption consistently ranking first in the world for many years. According to relevant data, in 2021, China's aluminum foil production reached 4.55 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 9.6%. After years of development, China's aluminum foil rolling technology and equipment have reached the world's leading level, and product quality continues to improve; Meanwhile, aluminum foil is also widely used in various fields such as transportation, packaging containers, building decoration, machinery and electrical appliances, due to its excellent properties.


However, while the aluminum foil industry is developing rapidly, it is also facing problems such as overcapacity, excessive competition, and export obstacles. Against the backdrop of accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the industrial chain with the "dual carbon" goal, aluminum foil enterprises are actively researching and developing new products, further expanding the application field of aluminum foil through innovative design, improved product performance, and other means.


Aluminum has high reflectivity to light and heat, good thermal conductivity, strong ductility and specific strength, and is easy to process and shape. The containers it produces have many advantages, such as being non-toxic, harmless, safe and hygienic, resistant to high and low temperatures, green and environmentally friendly, convenient and fast, high-end and beautiful.


Aluminum lunch boxes have always been a specialized food storage container in the aerospace industry, and in recent years, they have gradually been promoted and applied in the daily lives of residents.


The COVID-19 COVID-19 epidemic makes people pay more attention to food packaging safety. According to scientific research, compared with plastic, steel, paper, glass, wood and other materials, the novel coronavirus has the shortest survival time (2~8 hours) on the aluminum surface. This also suggests that aluminum foil packaging may be the best packaging material for cold chain storage and transportation of fresh produce, food, and pharmaceutical equipment.


In addition, the complete sealing and excellent barrier properties of aluminum foil meal boxes can also ensure that food is not contaminated by bacteria and viruses during transportation and distribution; Effectively prevent food from spoiling in high temperature environments, ensuring food safety and public health. After meals, aluminum foil meal boxes can be compressed on-site for storage and transportation, greatly reducing the amount of hospital waste and improving disposal capacity.


According to industry insiders, expanding the application of aluminum foil packaging is in line with many new trends and requirements of national economic transformation, social development, consumption upgrading, and expanding internal circulation in the new era. However, it is also pointed out that there are still cognitive misconceptions among packaging users, the public, and consumers about aluminum foil, which affects the expansion and application of aluminum foil packaging. Aluminum foil packaging also urgently needs to adapt to new consumption trends and concepts, promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, forge long boards, and make up for weaknesses.
