What is 8079 Aluminum Foil?
8079 aluminum foil refers to aluminum foil made of 8079 aluminum alloy. 8079 aluminum foil is a widely used alloy suitable for packaging. It has the advantages of high purity, good thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and easy forming.
After hot rolling and cold rolling process, the 8079 aluminum alloy becomes an extremely thin aluminum sheet ideal for packaging - 8079 aluminum foil. HTMM can produce 8079 aluminum foil in various thicknesses from 3 microns to 20 microns. The most common thicknesses are 6-8 microns.
Key Features of 8079 Aluminum Foil
As one of the largest 8079 aluminum foil suppliers, HTMM has extensive experience in aluminum foil production. Here are some key features of HTMM's 6-8mic 8079 aluminum foil:
Excellent barrier properties. With a thickness of only 6-8 microns, the 8079 aluminum foil can still provide superior gas barrier and moisture barrier properties to protect products. This is crucial for food, pharmaceutical and other moisture-sensitive packaging.
Great ductility and formability. The 8079 aluminum foil is very soft and flexible, allowing it to be easily printed, laminated or formed into various shapes through different packaging machines. This meets the growing demands for diversified customized packaging formats.
Superior thermal conductivity. 8079 aluminum is an ideal heat conduction material. The foil can quickly disperse heat, keeping products safe and fresh. It is thus widely used for heat seal packaging,Cooking food packaging and other applications involving heat sealing or heat sterilization.
Environmental friendliness. 8079 aluminum is fully recyclable and will not pollute the environment like plastic materials. The production of aluminum foil also consumes less energy compared to many plastic films. Thus it is regarded as a green alternative for packaging.
Long shelf life. Protected by the 8079 aluminum foil, products can enjoy shelf lives extended by 12 to 18 months on average. This significantly reduces inventory costs for manufacturers and retailers.
Universal compatibility. 8079 aluminum foil can be easily laminated with a variety of materials, such as BOPP, CPP, PET and aluminum-vapor deposited films. Great for composite packaging applications.
Those are the outstanding characteristics that have made 8079 aluminum foil produced by HTMM a top choice in the market. It is widely used in different packaging fields.
