Mingtai aluminum foil manufacturer

Aluminum foil use industry:

Aluminum foil demand is growing, aluminum foil is widely used in automobile manufacturing, textile, electronics industry, electrical and mechanical industry, aerospace industry, packaging industry, construction industry, shipbuilding industry, is an important industrial raw material.

consumption of aluminum foil:

1. At present, China can consume 161,300 tons of aluminum foil per year. The most consumed product in China’s aluminum foil market is air-conditioning foil;
2. Tobacco foil, China is the world’s largest cigarette producing and consuming country. The annual consumption of cigarettes in cigarette packaging is 35,000 tons, accounting for 60% of the total consumption of double zero foil;
3. Decorative foil, used in the construction industry for heat insulation, moisture-proof and decorative materials. At present, the construction and home appliance industry in China has formed an application boom for decorative foils;
4. Cable foil, which is used as a shield for cables by utilizing the tightness and shielding properties of aluminum foil.
The consumption of aluminum foil in the above four industries accounts for more than 70% of the total consumption of aluminum foil in China. Foil, electronic foil, automotive foil and flexible packaging foil are currently in China, although the consumption is still small, but the market growth is good, has become an important consumption growth point in the aluminum foil market.

Application of aluminum foil in the packaging industry:

In addition to cigarette packaging, the application of aluminum foil in the packaging industry mainly includes: aluminum-plastic composite bags, pharmaceutical aluminum foil blister packaging and chocolate packaging. Some high-end beer also wraps aluminum foil on the mouth of the bottle.

Medicinal foil:

Medicinal blister packs include medicinal aluminum foil, PVC plastic hard sheets, heat seal coatings and other materials. The medicinal aluminum foil is a sealing material sealed on a plastic hard sheet, and has the advantages of non-toxic, corrosion-resistant, impervious, heat-resistant, moisture-proof, light-blocking, and high-temperature sterilization. The thickness of the medicinal aluminum foil is generally 0.02 mm, which is composed of a protective layer, an ink printing layer, a substrate and an adhesive layer. The aluminum blister is mainly used for some expensive pharmaceutical packaging due to high cost.

Food packaging foil:

In addition to making soft cans, aluminum-plastic composite bags are also widely used in small foods and fried foods. In addition, the aluminum-plastic composite bag can be packaged as a pharmaceutical tablet or a traditional Chinese medicine powder. Due to its excellent barrier properties, aluminum-plastic composites also have a large amount of use in ordnance and munitions packaging.

Mingtai aluminum foil manufacturer:

At present, there are 83 aluminum foil production enterprises in China with an annual production capacity of 235,000 tons. Some enterprises have modern production equipment, such as Mingtai Aluminum, which has 6 semi-continuous casting production lines, 10 continuous casting and rolling production lines, 7 cold rolling mills, 10 foil rolling mills, and straightening and straightening cleaning machines. Cutting machine column, slitting machine, thick foil cutting, slitting, (1+4) hot rolling production line and other equipment. However, there are only 26 modern aluminum foil manufacturers in China, less than one-third of the total number of manufacturers. Most aluminum foil manufacturers are small in scale, and there is still a big gap between the equipment level and developed countries. The overall level of the aluminum foil rolling mill belongs to the level of the 1990s, and there are more than 200 backward two-roll aluminum foil rolling mills.

Due to the backward equipment, not only the finished rate of aluminum foil terminal is about 10% lower than the international advanced level, but also the middle and low-end products are many, the high-precision products are few, the supply is in short supply, and the import is dependent. For example, the amount of double-foil in China reached 60,000 tons in 2002. Production of 45,000 tons, and 15,000 tons by imports. Therefore, from the development prospects of China’s packaging aluminum market, there is huge room for development in both consumption and product grade.
