Light Gauge Foil
Light Gauge Foil is used for the insulation and food packaging. In packaging, foil is compatible with most foods and other packaging metals, providing a non-toxic barrier to light, gas, oils, fats and water vapour. Besides being impermeable to bacteria and aromas, aluminium foil is said to have the widest temperature tolerance of all flexible packaging materials and can withstand extremes in temperature change, from deep freezing to oven baking. Alcom's Light Gauge Foil is widely used to package confectionery, diary products, pharmaceuticals and cigarette and also insulation. These Light Gauge Foil is readily laminated with paper and plastic film and is easily coated, allowing manufacturers to apply their brand name and preferred colours, making a product immediately recognisable to the consumer. This foil is available in AA1235 and AA8079 alloy and it comes in thickness of 0.006mm to 0.020mm. Our technical staffis fully equipped to assist in the selection of the right specifications.
