What Is The Thickness Of Aluminum Foil

Aluminum foil, also called aluminum foil paper, is made of flattened metal aluminum. It is mainly sued for cooking in the kitchen, food packaging, food container,etc. Hundreds of thousands of tons of aluminum foil are used worldwide as the package of food, cosmetic, cigarette and chemicals.

Different applications have different requirements for the thickness of aluminum foil. According to the thickness, aluminum foil can be divided into heavy gauge aluminum foil and light gauge foil.

Heavy gauge aluminum foil refers to the aluminum foil paper with the thickness of 40 btm. heavy gauge aluminum foil will withstand a lot of wear and tear. Because of its high level of puncture and tear resistance, it is often deemed as the perfect material for more heavy duty applications.

Light gauge foil is the aluminum foil with the thickness less than 40 ltm. It is generally used in flexible packaging including tobacco, food packaging etc and related industries. We also offer a world class double zero graded foil which enables PE coating on this Light Gauge Aluminium foil.

How to find the thickness of aluminum foil? It is difficult, but not impossible, to measure the thickness of such a thin material, and impossible to do with common measuring tools, like a ruler or a measuring tape.

Remind yourself of the relationships density = mass ÷ volume and volume = length x width x height. When working out the thickness of aluminum foil, you are simply working out its height dimension. This simple formula allows you to measure the thickness of aluminum foil.
