Material Properties and Technical Characteristics of 8006 Aluminum Foil
8006 aluminum foil is a high-strength aluminum alloy foil belonging to the 8xxx series, primarily alloyed with iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn). It is specifically engineered to provide enhanced mechanical strength, excellent formability, and improved resistance to tearing and deformation compared with conventional foil grades such as 1235 or 8011. One of the key advantages of 8006 Aluminum Foil is its superior tensile strength and elongation performance. The alloy’s optimized chemical composition refines the grain structure during rolling and annealing, resulting in improved mechanical stability and reduced pinhole formation. This makes 8006 foil particularly suitable for semi-rigid and formed packaging applications where structural integrity is essential. In terms of barrier properties, 8006 aluminum foil offers outstanding resistance to moisture, oxygen, light, and contaminants. Even at relatively thin gauges, it maintains excellent barrier efficiency, ensuring product safety and e...
