Aluminum foil is a kind of thin sheet material made of aluminum plate or aluminum strip, because of its lightweight, corrosion resistance, easy processing and other characteristics, widely used in packaging, electronics, construction, aerospace and other fields. As the world's largest producer and consumer of aluminum foil, China's aluminum foil market has continued to grow rapidly in recent years. This paper will deeply discuss the status quo, trends and future development direction of China's aluminum foil market in 2023, in order to provide valuable references for relevant enterprises and investors.
Aluminum foil is an indispensable non-ferrous metal rolling material in modern industry and daily life. It is widely used and is an important industrial raw material. China is the world's aluminum foil production and supply country, nearly one-third of aluminum foil production for the export market. At present, China's aluminum foil industry is in a high-speed, high opportunity development stage, the rapid growth of industrial scale, the level of equipment continues to improve, scientific and technological innovation is increasingly strengthened, product quality continues to improve, and international trade is highly active.
Aluminum foil is a kind of hot stamping material with metal aluminum directly rolled into a sheet, and its hot stamping effect is similar to that of sterling silver foil, so it is also called false silver foil. Due to the soft texture of aluminum, good ductility, with a silver-white luster, if the rolled sheet, with sodium silicate and other substances mounted on offset paper to make aluminum foil sheets, can also be printed.
Because of its excellent characteristics, aluminum foil is widely used in food, beverages, cigarettes, medicines, photographic plates, household necessities, etc., usually used as its packaging materials, but the aluminum foil itself is easy to oxidize and the color becomes dark, friction, touch, etc., will fade, so it is not suitable for long-term preservation of the book cover and other hot printing.
