Aluminum foil comes in a wide range of thicknesses, each serving specific purposes based on its thickness and properties. The thickness of aluminum foil is typically measured in microscopes (µm) or mils (thousandths of an inch). Here is a general overview of the thickness range of aluminum foil:

Standard Household Foil: This is the type of aluminum foil commonly used for cooking, baking, and wrapping food. It typically ranges from 10 to 18 micrometers (0.4 to 0.7 mils) in thickness.

Heavy Duty Foil: As the name suggests, this type of foil is thicker and more durable than standard household foil. It is often used for grilling, barbecue, and wrapping heavy items. Heavy duty foil typically ranges from 18 to 25 micrometers (0.7 to 1mil).

Extra Heavy Duty Foil: This foil is even thicker and stronger than heavy duty foil. It is suitable for more demanding applications, such as industrial and commercial use. Extra heavy duty foil can range from 25 to 50 micrometers (1 to 2 mils).

Industrial Foil: Used in various industrial applications, such as insulation, packaging, and electronics, industrial foil can range from 50 micrometers (2 mils) and higher.

Thicker Foil: Foils with thicknesses exceeding 50 micrometers (2 mils) are generally considered thicker foils and are used for specialized applications, such as roofing, automotive components, and aerospace.

The choice of foil thickness depends on the intended use, performance requirements and manufacturing process. When selecting aluminum foil for a specific application, Huawei Aluminum can help you choose the thickness that best suits your needs.
