As one of the largest member in aluminum alloy family, color aluminum coil covers a wide range of application, which reaches at least a hundred if named one by one. Today we are going to talk about its usage in food containers.
The number one should be beverage cans. Famous brands in China like Jiaduobao Cool Tea, Xuehua Beer and Lulu Walnut Milk all apply color aluminum coil as raw material for their containers. The advantages of this material are obvious and irreplaceable. First, it can be processed into any thickness easily and is really adaptable. Although well known for its strength, it can be relatively soft and tensile through given process steps. This guarantees that even though the beverages containers withstand pressure, they will not be damaged. Second, color aluminum coil can be coated with any possible color and designs easily. It has strong adsorption of paints and other coatings. Third, it’s the lightest of all metals, which greatly reduces gross weight of beverage products. Fourth, it’s corrosion resistant against air, salt water and acid solution. That’s the most important reason why manufacturers above don’t choose plastics as containers for their products. Last but not least, it’s cheaper than other metals. No businessman would refuse a chance to reduce cost.
Color aluminum coil are also used for container of solid food. Baby food like solid milk, biscuits and egg white powder are commonly contained in color aluminum coil cans. In addition, the coil also serves as containers for can food like fish. Except for the reasons mentioned above, manufacturers choose color aluminum coil as raw material for another two reasons. First, it does not contain, attract or produce any toxic materials. Second, it’s of perfect fire-proof property, offering necessary protection for the products in case of fire.
