Aluminum foil is used as a vapor barrier for building insulation. In combination with bitumen, it is used for flat roofs. This combination offers the typical advantages of multilayer composites, in which the properties of the individual components...

The high resistance and the relatively low cost make aluminum foil suitable for industrial applications. By alloying aluminum with other metals such as magnesium, manganese, copper, nickel, silicon or zinc, a wide range of aluminum alloys...

Vapour barrier or vapour barrier in sauna construction
When building a sauna, a vapour barrier or vapour check should be installed. But what's the difference?

Vapour barrier and vapour check differences
With a vapour barrier, no moisture...

Aluminium is light, robust and durable. In addition, it has excellent insulation values. Aluminium foils work like mirrors . They reflect. In the concrete case they reflect energy.

However, it is not the thickness of the material that is...

Composite films for packaging and insulation
Composite films made of plastic, paper, and aluminum are used in a variety of application areas. In the packaging industry, composite films are found in the food sector as well as in industry or...

A large amount of the heat, up to 93%, is transmitted by radiation. A house without insulation loses this radiant heat . Insulation materials made solely from glass fibers or cellulose cannot stop radiation losses.

Unlike aluminum foils and...

The benefits of aluminium foil have long since ceased to be confined to the food industry . Aluminium is an important material in the construction, mechanical engineering, consumer goods and transport sectors. A material that in many areas...

A wide variety of foils can be purchased through a wholesaler for aluminium foil. Many foils can be easily formed and cut to size. They can be used, for example, for a vapour barrier. Aluminium foil has the advantage that it is easy to stretch...

Aluminium foil laminated with paper
