Specification
The 3003-H24 alloy maintains its form and features in heat so that it can be used in an oven or microwave.
In comparison to 8011 alloy, 3003 aluminum foil is stronger. Therefore it is better for deep draws and heavier applications.
Manganese improves corrosion and oxidation control, helping food packaging last longer than other materials.
Ductility allows manufacturers the ability to shape containers in different forms and shapes without cracks or pinholes in the material.

Demand For 3003 Aluminum FoilGlobally, demand for 3003 aluminum foil is rising. More and more people consume ready-to-eat and take-away foods. Market demands differ based on regional preferences and environmental conditions:
Regions where baking is common prefer thicker gauges (0.08–0.12 mm) for sturdy, rigid cooking trays.
Market demand in light packaging focuses on thinner gauges (0.03–0.06 mm) for dessert cups lids, and other lightweight containers.
In a humid climate, the corrosion resistance of 3003-H24 alloy minimizes oxidation exposure so your products have longer shelf life.
The flexibility in thickness and performance characteristics allows 3003 aluminum foil to meet varying packaging needs across the globe.
FAQ:
What is the difference between 3003 and 8011 aluminum foil?3003 has more strength and has better form-ability, while 8011 is more viscous and used for household foil or lids.
Can 3003 container foil be used in the oven?Yes, 3003 will not deform at a temperature up to 300°C and will not release harmful contaminates.
Is 3003-H24 aluminum foil safe for food?Yes, the foil is non-toxic, odorless, and meets international food safety standards.
What does "H24" temper mean?H24 refers to a strain-hardened, partially annealed condition that gives a balance of strength and ductility.
What are the most common thicknesses for food containers?Most food containers are made usually between 0.08mm and 0.12mm in thickness, depending of course on the size of the container and design.
Is 3003 aluminum foil recyclable?Yes, 3003 aluminum foil is recycleable at an infinite rate without losing any of the foil's quality or performance.
What is the best way to store aluminum foil without oxidation?Store aluminum foil in a clean, dry place with no humidity or corrosive materials nearby.
Is 3003 aluminum foil suitable for use with automatic forming machines?Yes, it has excellent formability and can be used with your latest stamping or deep-draw forming machines.
Can the foil be customized for branding or color coating?Yes, HTMM can supply color-coated or printed aluminum foil for the needs of customers.
What industries would you use 3003-H24 aluminum foil in?The majority of 3003-H24 aluminum foil is used in food packaging, airline catering, bakery, frozen meals, and pharmaceutical containers.
