Foil, of aluminium, of a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm

CPC v2.1 Code: 41535

About foil, of aluminium, of a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm

cpc code 41535 covers the production of thin aluminum foil, a versatile material with a wide range of applications across various industries. Aluminum foil is a crucial component in packaging, insulation, and numerous other products that are essential to modern life. This industry plays a significant role in the global economy, supporting supply chains and enabling the efficient distribution of goods.

Production process

The production of aluminum foil with a thickness not exceeding 0.2 mm involves a series of specialized processes. The primary raw material, aluminum, is first melted and cast into thin sheets or rolls. These sheets are then subjected to a rolling process, where they are repeatedly passed through a series of rollers to gradually reduce the thickness to the desired specification. The final step involves annealing, a heat treatment process that enhances the foil's malleability and flexibility.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of thin aluminum foil include raw aluminum, rolling mills, and specialized equipment for annealing and finishing the foil. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production machinery and ensuring quality control throughout the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is thin aluminum foil, which is widely used in 41536 Foil, of aluminium, of a thickness exceeding 0.2 mm but not exceeding 0.2 mm, 41537 Foil, of aluminium, of a thickness exceeding 0.2 mm, and 42111 Containers, of aluminium, for compressed or liquefied gas. Aluminum foil is a critical component in the packaging industry, as well as in the production of insulation materials and various consumer goods.
