Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q
What thickness is recommended for food container aluminum foil?
Food container aluminum foil typically ranges from 0.01mm to 0.08mm in thickness. For general food wrapping and container lids, 0.03mm–0.05mm is commonly used, while heavier-duty applications such as baking trays or airline catering may require thicker gauges up to 0.08mm for better durability and heat resistance.
Q
Which aluminum alloys are used for food container foil?
The most commonly used alloys are 8011, 3003, and 8006. Alloy 8011 is the most popular due to its excellent formability and food-safe properties. Alloy 3003 offers better strength, while 8006 provides superior elongation, making it ideal for deep-drawn containers.
Q
Is food container aluminum foil safe for direct food contact?
Yes. Food container aluminum foil meets food-grade safety standards and is non-toxic and hygienic. It is suitable for direct contact with food during baking, cooking, freezing, and fresh-keeping. It complies with international food safety regulations such as FDA and EU standards.
Q
What are the common widths available and what are they used for?
Common widths include 30cm, 45cm, and 50cm. These widths are suitable for wrapping large pieces of food such as whole chicken or ribs, as well as covering large-sized pots, baking trays, and food storage containers. Custom widths can also be produced based on specific order requirements.
