Product details

Aluminium foil is used

as a skin for heat-insulating and incombustible materials to provide high performance insulation for pipe work and ducting
as a basis for adhesive tape used to secure laminated materials
in electrical cables, for long-term insulation against moisture and corrosive elements
as an insulator against the magnetic and radio frequency emissions associated with electrical cables
as a sheath for fiber-optic cables, to enable testing of the integrity of cable links and secure a long shelf life
in fire walls for vehicles and fireproof doors and building panels to stop access to the oxygen required to support flames

Application areas

Fire walls
Fire doors
Fibre optic cables
Electrical cables

Rolling

Aluminium can be processed
in a cold and hot condition.

Aluminium is ductile. Foil can be rolled to only 0.007 mm thickness, but will still be completely impermeable and lets neither light, aroma nor taste substances in or out. The metal itself forms a protective oxide coating and is highly corrosion resistant. Different types of surface treatment can further improve these properties.
