Aluminum Foil Information

Aluminum foil is aluminum prepared in thin metal leaves. The thin sheets can be produced in continuous rolls, folded sheets, and more. Most aluminum foil has a thickness of fewer than 8 mils. Aluminum foil rolls and sheets are used in a variety of industries including aerospace, industrial, chemicals, food, and more. The flexibility of the metal and the ability to withstand high temperatures makes foil a preferred material for many industries around the world.
