Aluminum foil can be divided into the following types according to use：

1. Cigarette foil: cigarette wrapping foil paper，common aluminum foil material 1235.

2. Battery foil: common aluminum foil material 1070/1080/1235, used for lithium-ion battery collector materials

3. Medicinal foil: common aluminum foil material 8011/8021/8079, mainly used for capsule medicine plates/blister packaging/high-end pharmaceutical packaging/oral liquid aluminum-plastic composite lids, etc.

4. Food foil: common aluminum foil material 8011/3004, thickness 0.014-0.2mm, width 20-1600mm, commonly used for food preservation and heating.

5. Bottle cap foil: Common aluminum foil material 3104, often used for easy-tear sealing on milk powder caps and yogurt caps.

6. Air-conditioning foil: Air-conditioning foil is an efficient thermal insulation material, usually used in radiators and condensers in air-conditioning systems. It is composed of a layer of metal foil and a layer of foam plastic. It has excellent thermal insulation and anti-corrosion properties, and can effectively reduce the energy consumption and maintenance costs of the air conditioning system.

7. Container foil: common aluminum foil material 3003/3004/8011/8006, width generally 100-1700mm, thickness 0.02-0.2mm. There are two types: wrinkled and wrinkle-free, often used as disposable lunch boxes and airline lunch boxes.

Normal tin foil on the market is made of impurity aluminum.

The previous tin foil was made of real tin. However, due to its relatively low melting point and the tendency to leave a smell after wrapping food, it was gradually replaced by aluminum.

Most of the tin foil we talk about every day is actually aluminum foil, which can be used to wrap ingredients or bake in air fryers, and aluminum foil has better freshness-keeping properties.

The thickness of aluminum coils ranges from 0.2-10mm, and the width ranges from 100-2600mm.

Common single roll weights are 1 ton/3 tons/5 tons

We provide customization services that can be customized according to your actual needs for aluminum coil width/thickness/roll weight.

Commonly used aluminum plate series are 1/3/5/6/7 series. Different series of aluminum plates have different characteristics.

1 series aluminum plate: common grades: 1050, 1060, 1100, 1235. Mostly used in lighting, architectural decoration, nameplate production, alumina plates, etc.

3 Series Aluminum Plate: Common grades: 3003, 3004, 3005, 3104, 3105. Mostly used in refrigeration devices, production of traffic signs, building curtain walls, battery aluminum shells, etc.

5 series aluminum plate: Common grades: 5052, 5083. Mostly used in tank vehicle materials, marine aluminum plates, automobile manufacturing, LNG storage tank materials, etc.

6 series aluminum plate: Common grades: 6061, 6063. Mostly used in making metal molds, mobile phone cases, automobile manufacturing, etc.

7 series aluminum plate: Common brand: 7075, mainly used as aviation aluminum because of its high strength and corrosion resistance.

The difference between aluminum plate and aluminum sheet is the thickness of the plate.

Thin aluminum sheet: thickness 0.15-2mm

Conventional aluminum sheet: thickness 2-6mm

Medium thick aluminum plate: thickness 6-25mm

Thick aluminum plate: 25-200mm

Extra thick aluminum plate: more than 200mm

So anything above 6mm is an aluminum plate, and anything below 6mm is an aluminum sheet.

The calculation of the weight of the aluminum plate depends on the length, width and thickness of the single aluminum plate.

Normal calculations are done in millimeters. The calculation formula is: thickness mm*width m*length m*2.71=weight of 1 aluminum plate in kg

For example: a 6061 H24 aluminum plate of 2mm*1500mm*3000m, 2*1.5*3*2.71=24.39 kg

Therefore, a 2mm*1500mm*3000m 6061 H24 aluminum plate weighs 24.39kg.
