The 0.08mm thick aluminum foil lies between single-zero foil (0.01-0.1mm) and thick foil (0.1-0.2mm), offering a balance of mechanical strength, formability, and barrier performance. It is suitable for applications requiring both structural integrity and shielding or forming ability.

Applications of 0.08mm Aluminum Foil
1. Food Packaging and Containers
(1) Food Containers
Used for airline meal boxes and takeaway trays requiring good load-bearing performance and deformation resistance, while also tolerating heating in ovens or short-term microwave use.
(2) Baking Trays and Pans
Used for cakes, cookies, and baked goods. The excellent heat conductivity of aluminum ensures even heating, while the 0.08mm thickness provides structural support and prevents tearing.
The moderate thickness and balance of rigidity and ductility make 0.08mm aluminum foil suitable for stamping, deep drawing, and forming into disposable food trays, packaging containers, and baking molds.
(3) Semi-Rigid Food Packaging
Serves as sealing lids for cans or sauce jars (used with composite films) or as outer layers for heavy-duty food packaging such as meat and cheese. It provides oxygen and moisture resistance, extending shelf life. Compared to household foil (0.009–0.02mm), 0.08mm foil has superior tear resistance and is ideal for repeated opening or long-distance transport.
2. Industrial and Manufacturing Applications
(1) Battery Packaging and Insulation
Used in lithium-ion batteries and capacitors as inner lining or auxiliary electrode collector layers. It provides conductivity, shielding, and mechanical protection for internal cells while maintaining light weight.
(2) Pipeline and Equipment Insulation
Used as wrapping for industrial pipelines and thermal equipment. With its high reflectivity, aluminum foil minimizes radiant heat loss. The 0.08mm thickness resists vibration and abrasion, ensuring long service life in outdoor or industrial environments compared with thinner foils (<0.05mm).
(3) Auxiliary Material in Metal Processing
Acts as a protective interlayer or temporary surface shield during stamping or precision machining to prevent scratches, while being easily removed afterward.
3. Pharmaceutical and Medical Packaging
Although most pharmaceutical aluminum foils range from 0.018-0.030mm for blister packs, 0.08mm aluminum foil (8011 or 8021 alloy) can be used for inner layers of aluminum-plastic composite closures or large-dose drug sealing. It provides excellent sealing strength and moisture resistance for infusion bottles, ointment tubes, and similar applications.
4. Building and Decorative Applications
(1) Thermal Insulation and Moisture Barrier
Used as reflective foil in building insulation systems, laminated onto insulating cotton or gypsum boards to reduce solar heat gain. The 0.08mm thickness resists tearing and adapts well to minor structural deformation during installation.
(2) Decorative Aluminum Foil Products
After embossing, coloring, or printing, it can be applied to interior decorative panels, furniture surfaces, and ceiling materials. The extra thickness ensures smooth surface appearance, durability, and better scratch resistance compared to thinner decorative foils (<0.05mm).
5. Other Special Uses
(1) Cigarette Packaging
While cigarette inner liner foil is typically 0.0065–0.007mm, 0.08mm foil can be used as outer reinforcement material for carton packaging, improving rigidity and premium texture.
(2) Aerospace Components
Applied as protective or spacing layers for lightweight parts, providing both shielding and mechanical protection.
