Wholesale 8011-O Aluminum Foil for Toothpaste Tubes

Aluminum Foil in Toothpaste Tube Manufacturing

Aluminum foil, after PE coating and surface printing, is widely used in the packaging of toothpaste tubes, as well as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and household detergents. The aluminum-plastic composite technology used in toothpaste tubes combines the barrier properties of aluminum with the heat-sealing capability of plastic, resulting in packaging that is cost-effective, lightweight, easy to carry, and convenient to form, especially ideal for storing creams, gels, and pastes.

As a key material, aluminum foil provides excellent barrier protection, along with heat insulation, moisture resistance, airtightness, hygiene, and easy-tear characteristics.

Currently, most toothpaste composite tubes in the market use 8011-O aluminum foil for the barrier layer due to its outstanding flexibility and compatibility with composite materials, making it widely adopted in the soft packaging industry.

Material Overview

• 8011 aluminum alloy foil is primarily composed of aluminum with trace elements such as iron and silicon, offering excellent formability and corrosion resistance. It is typically laminated with PE (polyethylene) through a thermal bonding process to form aluminum-plastic composite tubes, used extensively in mid- to high-end toothpaste, medical ointments, and cosmetic packaging.

• The "O" temper indicates that the aluminum foil has been fully annealed, giving it high ductility and softness, ideal for deep drawing and stamping processes.

Thanks to its superior barrier and processing properties, 8011-O aluminum foil is the preferred material for the inner layer of toothpaste tubes, working together with an outer PE layer to form the composite structure.

Key Features of Toothpaste Tube Aluminum Foil

1.Excellent Barrier Performance
Effectively blocks oxygen and moisture from entering the tube, while also preventing the loss or leakage of toothpaste ingredients such as flavorings and active agents.

2.Light Blocking Capability
Aluminum foil is completely opaque, which protects light-sensitive components (e.g., vitamins or natural extracts) in the toothpaste from degradation caused by light exposure.

3.Good Workability
8011-O foil offers high ductility and rollability, suitable for high-speed lamination, slitting, and extrusion forming processes.

4.Strong Composite Compatibility
It bonds well with plastics like PE and PP, ensuring stable lamination without delamination or defects during tube forming.

5.Hygiene and Safety
Aluminum foil is non-toxic and odorless, chemically inert with toothpaste ingredients, and ensures the safety and cleanliness of the packaged contents.

As a professional aluminum foil manufacturer, MC Aluminum produces 8011-O aluminum foil with excellent sealing, explosion resistance and food safety. This is a key requirement for toothpaste packaging, because it is necessary to ensure that the contents will not leak and protect the paste from the external environment. The 8011 aluminum foil produced by MC Aluminum has the advantages of clean surface, clean degreasing, few voids, and flat plate shape. The products are exported to many overseas countries, provide samples, short delivery time, and guaranteed after-sales service. Customers can order with confidence.
