Specification
The thicker gauge of the 50-micron foil gives it superior puncture resistance and structural integrity when compared to thinner gauges, providing robustness and durability in applications requiring both properties as well as the ability to benefit from lightweight aluminum construction and excellent thermal conductivity. The surface characteristics are systematically produced to ensure maximum functional performance during secondary processing operations, including printing, coating, adhesives, etc. Additionally, the foil is manufactured with consistently equal thickness across the full width of the roll, which provides uniform performance when manufacturing at high production speeds. Finally, the foil features excellent corrosion resistance to support long-term protection of the contents contained within and to maintain the integrity of the foil's appearance even under extreme environmental conditions, plus the foil meets all food plastics and industrial products safety standards without risking product contamination or adverse reactions.

Product Applications
The Alloy 8011-H24 50 Micron Aluminum foil is a significant component of container-making products for the foodservice and industrial sector, as it has the necessary structural support required by take-away containers, baking trays, and ready-meal packaging where strength, stacking, and support for products is critical. The technical sector uses this specialised foil to manufacture parts that require precise dimensions and high strength for automobiles, electronics, and industrial seals, where the consistency of the foil's characteristics will deliver the dependability that manufacturers need in the most extreme working conditions.
In packaging, the foil offers excellent protection for high-value or fragile products during shipping and handling, along with its excellent moisture, oxygen, and light barrier properties that provide moisture, oxygen, and light protection throughout distribution and storage of sensitive contents. The construction industry utilises our 8011-H24 foil for vapour barriers, insulation, and architectural features where the material's strength and durability provide long-term performance and energy efficiency in buildings. In addition, the material is used in both creative and industrial design projects, where the material's combination of strength and ease of workability allows for innovative product design while also keeping in mind both manufacturing efficiencies and cost effectiveness.
Bestselling Countries

FAQ
What unique properties does the H24 temper present when manufactured into foil of 50 microns thickness? The H24 temper offers a combination of optimal “Strength” and “Formability.” When 50 microns thick, the H24 temper has enough strength to be used as a structural component, plus, it will have enough ductility to be used for the production of different shapes through forming processes. Plus, the additional thickness of 50 microns gives the H24 more puncture resistance and product durability.
Will this foil be used for food service containers?Yes; the 8011-H24 50 micron foil is suitable for food service containers due to its ability to deep-draw well, its compliance with food safety regulations as well as the structural characteristics required for proper functioning within the Food Service Industry.
In comparison, how does the thickness of this 50-micron foil stack up against standard household aluminum foil?The 50-micron foil is approximately 3-5 times thicker than standard household aluminum foils! The increased thickness provides a higher level of strength, durability, and barrier properties required to meet the demands of industrial environments.
What is the lead time for custom width ordered foil?The standard lead times for custom slit widths are between 3-4 weeks, but can be expedited for emergency needs and a stock program is available for frequently requested custom widths.
Will you provide material certification and test reports on all shipments?Every shipment is accompanied by a complete certification documentation including material testing reports, compliance and quality certification that provides traceability and regulatory compliance.
What are some examples of surface treatments used for different applications? We utilize many different types of surface treatments, such as corona treatment for better adhesion, functional coatings that provide superior barrier characteristics, and textured finishes, which are used for both a functional and aesthetic requirement, depending on theapplication.
How do you control flatness while you manufacture? Through the use of state-of-the-art, tension control systems along with precise rolling technologies, we achieve excellent flatness (≤10 I-units). Consequently, our products can be processed using high-speed manufacturing machinery without problems.
Can you match existing technical specifications from other manufacturers? Our technical staff can analyze, compare and develop a match for the existing technical specifications from a different manufacturer; in addition, through our analysis, we can frequently identify opportunities to improve the performance of the existing product and provide cost-saving alternatives through changes to materials or techniques.
What are some of the environmentally responsible practices you use to manufacture your products? We utilize energy-efficient manufacturing processes, develop ways to reduce the amount of waste produced during production and recycle products made from aluminium foil that is completely recyclable and will not add to the landfill, thus supporting a circular economy.
What type of technical support do you provide for your customers?
