Household aluminum foil is typically thinner and more pliable, designed for everyday use such as food wrapping, baking, and cooking. It is often available in small rolls and is easy to tear by hand. Industrial aluminum foil, on the other hand, is thicker, stronger, and more durable. It is used in manufacturing processes, packaging, and insulation. Industrial foil is often coated or laminated for specific purposes, such as barrier properties or heat resistance. It is also available in larger rolls and may require machinery to cut and shape.
