About aluminium; foil, backed with paper, paperboard, plastics or similar backing materials, of a thickness (excluding any backing) not exceeding 0.2mm

HS code 760720 covers the import and export of aluminium foil that is backed with paper, paperboard, plastics, or similar materials. This type of aluminium foil is widely used in various industries, including packaging, insulation, and electronics. It plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential materials for a diverse range of products and applications.

Production process

The production of aluminium foil with a backing material typically involves a multi-step process. First, aluminium is rolled into thin sheets or foils. These foils are then coated or laminated with the desired backing material, such as paper, paperboard, or plastic. The lamination process ensures a strong bond between the aluminium and the backing, creating a durable and versatile material.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 760720 aluminium foil include raw aluminium, paper, paperboard, plastics, and other backing materials. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as rolling mills, lamination machines, and cutting tools, are necessary for the manufacturing process. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for powering the production facilities.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 760720 is aluminium foil with a backing material, which is used in a wide range of applications. This material is often consumed by industries such as 382490 Packaging, 854420 Electronics, and 680610 Insulation, where its unique properties, such as flexibility, durability, and thermal conductivity, make it a valuable component. The output of this industry can also be further processed or incorporated into more complex products, contributing to the broader global supply chain.
