At present, China has become the second largest after the United States spent an aluminum foil, but the per capita annual consumption is only 0.22 kg, appropriate to the tenth to one twentieth of developed countries, China foil mall bears endless opportunities. Four use aluminum foil are:

First, the air-conditioning foil

Air-conditioning foil manufacturing air conditioner heat exchanger fin special information, early use of air conditioning foil is a prime foil. In order to improve the performance of prime foil appearance before forming coated with anti-corrosion coating of organic and inorganic hydrophilic coating, form a hydrophilic foil. The current account hydrophilic foil air-conditioning foil & 1% of the total, the proportion of its use will be further progress. Else there is a hydrophobic foil, so the appearance of the fins having hydrophobic function, to avoid buildup of condensate. Because the hydrophobic foil to improve the appearance of the defrosting of skill needs further discussion, the current practice produces very little.

Air-conditioning foil thickness of 0.1mm ~ 0.15mm. Along with the skills to carry out, air-conditioning foil further thinning trend, Japan is now the leading product thickness is 0.09mm. Under state thin aluminum foil to have good formability, its organization and performance necessary even, metallurgy few defects, anisotropy is small, need to work together high strength, ductility, uniform thickness, flatness good. Air-conditioning foil and alloy standard is relatively simple, appropriate scale production, but its seasonal shopping malls, air-conditioning foil on a professional production factory, difficult to handle peak demand outstrips supply and cool-season simply no need for conflict.

Because the mall needs a weak femoral artery, in recent years, Chinese production capacity and skill level of air-conditioning foil progress, is now a medium and small, low-high air-conditioning foil production company groups, some large companies such as North China Aluminum, Bohai Aluminum product quality simply has reached world advanced level. Because of excess domestic production capacity, market competition is intense.

Second, cigarette packing foil

China is the world's largest cigarette production and spending big country, China currently has 146 large-scale cigarette factory, the total annual output of 34 million big boxes of cigarettes, there are selected cigarette foil packaging, foil sprayed during choice of 30%, 70% choose calender aluminum foil, aluminum foil rolling consumption of 35,000 tons, as well as to enhance the impact of imported cigarettes, cigarette foil required amount of added followed by citizens' health awareness is significantly slowed slightly in recent years is estimated to add. Chinese cigarette packing foil, double zero foil accounted for 70% of the total, currently the country has two or three companies can produce high quality tobacco foil, appropriate skill level and world level, but the overall quality of the domestic cigarette foil there is a certain distance with the world standards.

Third, decorated with foil

After aluminum foil is decoration - decoration materials plastic composite manner, the use of aluminum foil, good color, high reflectance characteristics of light and heat. Mainly used for the construction, furniture decoration and part of the gift box. Decoration foil in China is built using the industry from the beginning of the 1990s, the move to extend from the central city of Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, to the country, in recent years dramatically add requirements, usually as the inner walls of buildings and indoor furniture decoration materials in commercial establishments facade and interior decoration is also widely used.

Decoration foil insulation, sound insulation, fire protection and easy to clean, etc., and the appearance of luxury, processing facilities, construction equipment fast. China's current construction, home improvement industry has formed the decoration foil using boom. Followed by China's rapid development and the construction industry, the growing popularity of foil used in decoration, decoration foil requirement will have a significant added. In addition, the choice of decoration foil wrapping gifts is very popular in foreign countries in recent years in China to carry out fast, it is estimated there will be a better prospect.

Fourth, cable foil

Cable foil is sealed after use aluminum foil and shielding, the single-sided or double-sided coated plastic film, aluminum # plastic composite foil for use as the cable shield. Cable foil need to look with less oil, no holes, with high mechanical properties, the overall quality need not high, but the length of the required extremely harsh.

Currently, the leading cold rolling mill, versatile and foil rolling mill roughing mill can produce, but the mall poor growth, annual domestic requirement of 2.5 million tonnes.
