Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary alloy types used in air duct aluminum foil?
The primary alloys used include 1235 (highly flexible, ≥99.35% Al), 1145 (stronger than 1235), and 8011 (with added iron and silicon for enhanced stiffness and heat resistance up to 150°C).
What is the typical thickness range for HVAC duct aluminum foil?
Air duct aluminum foil generally ranges from ultra-thin (0.012mm - 0.015mm) for tight bending spaces, standard thicknesses (0.018mm - 0.03mm) for general HVAC wrapping, to heavy-duty (0.08mm - 0.2mm) for industrial environments.
Why are surface treatments like PE or Acrylic coatings applied to the foil?
Acrylic coatings improve adhesion to glass wool or rock wool insulation layers to prevent delamination. PE (Polyethylene) coatings provide extra moisture resistance, making the foil ideal for humid environments such as basements and coastal areas.
Can air duct aluminum foil provide fire resistance?
Yes. Foil treated with fire-retardant coatings can meet high safety standards, such as UL94 V-0, making it suitable for public and high-rise building ducts.
What standard and custom widths are available for ducting foil?
Standard widths include 1000mm, 1200mm, 1500mm, and 2000mm to maximize installation efficiency. Custom widths can also be ordered ranging from 500mm up to 2000mm to minimize material waste.
