Single zero aluminum foil is a common type of aluminum foil, typically referring to aluminum foil materials with a thickness between 0.01 mm (10 micrometers) and 0.1 mm (100 micrometers). It is named for its thickness unit being counted as “zero” and is an important type of aluminum foil product.
Aluminum foil can be divided into different grades according to its thickness, and single-zero aluminum foil, due to its moderate thickness, is widely used in food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, preservation, cooking, and many other fields. According to thickness, aluminum foil can be divided into double zero foil (thickness < 0.01 mm), single zero foil (0.01 mm ≤ thickness < 0.1 mm), and thick foil (0.1 mm ≤ thickness < 0.2 mm). Single zero aluminum foil can be further divided into various types according to different alloy grades and applications, such as pharmaceutical aluminum foil, tape foil, food container material, food packaging foil, electronic foil and cable aluminum foil.
Alloy series of single zero aluminum foil:
1000 series single zero foil:
Includes 1235 aluminum foil, 1050 aluminum foil, 1060 aluminum foil, etc., mainly used in household foil, cable tape, adhesive tape foil, aluminum gaskets, aluminum bottle caps, etc.
3000 series single zero foil:
The typical alloy is 3003 aluminum foil, commonly used in aluminum honeycomb cores, electronic foil, etc.
5000 series single zero foil:
Such as 5052 aluminum foil, can be used in high-end aluminum honeycomb cores, air conditioner filters, air purifier filters, etc.
8000 series single zero foil:
Includes 8011 aluminum foil, 8021 aluminum foil, etc., widely used in pharmaceutical packaging, food packaging, sealing aluminum foil, battery aluminum-plastic film, etc.
Production process of single zero aluminium foil:
Single zero aluminum foil is mainly produced through precision rolling technology, requiring multiple processes including rough rolling, intermediate rolling, and finish rolling. The rolling force control accuracy in the finish rolling stage needs to reach ±1%. The production process typically utilizes an AGC automatic thickness control system and a sheet shape meter to ensure that product thickness fluctuations do not exceed ±3% of the nominal value. Strict cleanliness requirements are also maintained in the production workshop, generally requiring a Class 10,000 cleanliness level.
Features of single zero aluminum foil:
Thin:
Common thicknesses range from 0.014mm to 0.02mm, offering ultra-thin characteristics suitable for applications with stringent thickness requirements.
High surface quality:
Typically features a smooth and flat surface, free of black streaks, bright spots, and pinholes, providing a good foundation for subsequent processing and use.
Excellent performance:
Possesses good barrier properties, heat-sealing performance, and a certain level of mechanical strength, while also retaining the lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and conductive properties of aluminum.
Market applications:
Single zero aluminum foil is widely used in food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, electronic packaging, and battery pouches. Common pharmaceutical packaging foils, adhesive tape foils, food packaging foils, and electronic foils are all examples of single zero aluminum foil.
Application areas of single zero aluminium foil”
