Annual production of aluminium foil was approximately 850,000 tonnes (940,000 tons) in Europe in 2014, [1] and 600,000 tonnes (660,000 tons) in the U.S. in 2003. [2] Approximately 75% of aluminium foil is used for packaging of foods , cosmetics , and chemical products, and 25% is used for industrial applications (e.g., thermal insulation ...
Metallised films have a reflective silvery surface similar to aluminium foil and are highly flammable. The coating also reduces the permeability of the film to light, water and oxygen. The properties of the film remain, such as higher toughness, the ability to be heat sealed, and a lower density at a lower cost than an aluminium foil.
Tin foil, also spelled tinfoil, is a thin foil made of tin. Tin foil was superseded after World War II by cheaper and more durable [ 1 ] aluminium foil , which is still referred to as "tin foil" in many regions (an example of a misnomer ).

[1] [2] Foils are most easily made with malleable metal, such as aluminium, copper, [3] tin, and gold. Foils usually bend under their own weight and can be torn easily. [2] For example, aluminium foil is usually about 1 ⁄ 1000 inch (0.025 mm), whereas gold (more malleable than aluminium) can be made into foil only a few atoms thick, called ...
