i have a project that requires me to know how safeway aluminum foil is made. i researched it on the internet, and also called safeway for it. they never gave me an answer. same for the diamond aluminum foil.please help!!!!i just need to know where they make it, how thick it is, and/or information about the ingots (such as size)and also temp. of heating room
I'd okorder /... and they have some things on sheet as well. Something that neither covers is the lamination process, wherein the aluminum foil is coated with an organic layer (a really thin layer of plastic) to keep the metallic taste out of the food that it contacts. I believe that different companies have different ways of applying the coatings, but I'd bet they're all some variant of dip, brush, or spray followed by a heat cure. Good luck on your project!
they start with a huge block of aluminum, then run that forth and back between giant steel cylinders until it is a relatively thin and very long sheet of metal. Then this sheet is run trough a series of these drums until it is foil of the required thickness. Then they cut the wide foil in strips of the right width and package it for sale. Hope this helps.
