Aluminium foil

Foil (n.l. Fulgur- lightning, i.e. glossy) — metallic "paper", thin (thickness from 0,001 to 0,2 mm) and flexible metallic sheet, for example, of aluminium , cooper, stannum, silver or gold.

An area of use of aluminium foil is very wide. This material has special physical properties, high decorative potential and excellent technical operating parameters.

Characteristics and properties:

• Barrier property – non-transparency and total impermeability makes foil as reliable barrier against damp, gases, light and unwanted off-odor.
• Environmentally friendly – 100% recycled and does not lose its usefulness.
• Food safety and hygiene – material is non-toxic, completely secure when interacting with food products, does not change their taste and odour, it is also effective barrier for reproduction and occurrence of pathogens and microbes.
• Thermal resistance – roll aluminium foil is resistance to high temperatures, temperature jumps and fluctuations, does not lend itself to melting and does not deform.
• The property of saving the configuration - the material is flexible and plastic, has the ability to store and take on a form according to your needs and preferences.
• Resistance to corrosion - as a result of contact of the foil with the air, it is covered with an oxide film, which protects the material from substances that can cause corrosion.

Aluminium foils properties:

-  high corrosive resistance
-  low specific weight of aluminium
-  environmentally-friendly material
-  high ablative insulating quality (foil reduces heat loss up to 97%))
-  water-proof properties
