8011 Aluminum Foil
What is 8011 aluminium grade?
8011 aluminum foil belongs to the 8000 series of aluminum foil and is one of the most widely used aluminum foils in our daily lives, primarily for household and kitchen cooking as well as for making aluminum foil containers.
- Thickness Range: The thickness of 8011 aluminum foil typically ranges from 0.016 to 0.2 mm.
- States: Includes 8011-H18 and 8011-O states of aluminum foil.
- Lightness: Lighter than 1000 series pure aluminum foil.
- Corrosion Resistance: Offers good corrosion resistance to various chemicals.
- Barrier Properties: Provides excellent barrier performance, effectively blocking light, gases, and moisture.
8011 aluminum foil contains Al-Fe-Si elements, with alloying elements exceeding 1%. These elements enhance the performance of the aluminum foil, making it more suitable for specific applications.
With its excellent physical properties and wide applicability, 8011 aluminum foil has become an indispensable metal material in daily life. Its lightness, corrosion resistance, and barrier properties make it widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and other packaging fields.
8011 aluminum foil not only has high strength, but also maintains excellent ductility and formability—it can be folded, bent, or embossed without cracking. Alloying and controlled annealing impart good processing properties. 8011 aluminum foil can be processed into extremely thin sheets while maintaining good tear resistance.

8011 aluminum foil is available in various specifications and temper grades to meet different applications. Common product categories and dimensions include:
| Product Type | Tempers | Thickness (mm) | Width (mm) |
| Household foil (e.g. kitchen roll) | H111, H12–H28 | 0.01–0.20 | 300–1100 |
| Container foil (e.g. foil trays) | H22, H24 | 0.01–0.20 | 200–1100 |
| Packaging/laminate foil | O, H22, H24 | 0.018–0.20 | 100–1600 |
| Pharmaceutical foil (blister, strip) | H14, H18 | 0.018–0.20 | 100–1600 |
In fact, foil can be made extremely thin.
- Specialized 8011 foil can be as thin as approximately 0.00018 inches (about 0.0046 millimeters), suitable for ultra-thin applications;
- And as thick as approximately 0.064 inches (about 1.63 millimeters), suitable for heavy-duty foil (non-foil grades can be even thicker).
- Widths range from a few centimeters to over 1.5 meters. Foil is typically sold in coils or master rolls; standard coil inner diameters are 75 millimeters or 150 millimeters.
- Temper (hardness) is selected according to the application: fully annealed (O) or lightly tempered states (H14, H18) are suitable for applications requiring maximum formability (such as pharmaceutical blister foil); harder tempers (H22–H26) are suitable for heavy-duty packaging or consumer foil, offering higher strength.
- Rolled (bright or matte) surface finishes are standard; we also offer special surface treatments (coated, pre-painted, or embossed).

Features of 8011 Aluminum Foil
- Corrosion Resistance and Barrier Properties: Like other aluminum materials, 8011 aluminum foil offers excellent corrosion resistance. In foil form, it forms a tight barrier against moisture, oxygen, light, and grease, extending the shelf life of packaged products. Its surface is non-porous and inert (odorless), making it safe for food and pharmaceutical use.
- Thermal/Electrical Performance: 8011 aluminum foil exhibits excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. It can withstand moderate heating without softening, making it suitable for baking packaging and heat-sealing containers.
- Formability: The fine-grain microstructure of 8011 aluminum foil provides outstanding ductility. It can be processed through high-speed embossing, stamping, creasing, or curling without cracking or work hardening. The combination of high strength and ductility allows 8011 foil to be made very thin (saving material) while still maintaining puncture resistance during use.
These characteristics—lightweight, corrosion-resistant, high barrier efficiency, and easy formability—make 8011 the preferred choice for commercial aluminum foil.
