2. High mechanical strength, strong impact resistance and piercing ability
Aluminum foil has many excellent physical properties, such as high mechanical strength, strong impact resistance and strong puncture ability, making food bags not easy to break, and can protect food from being damaged by external factors such as extrusion, impact, vibration, temperature difference, etc., thereby reducing Losses during storage, transportation and racking.

3. Strong adaptability, can adapt to various environments
Aluminum foil has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, oil resistance, water resistance, etc., and can adapt to various environments. The environment of food processing and production does not have much influence on its performance.
