What's the difference between aluminum foil paper and tin foil paper?
Aluminum foil is made by calendering aluminum or aluminum alloy. Habitually, the calender product is called aluminum foil paper with the thickness of less than 0.025mm,also called tin foil paper in Guangdong and Hongkong area, aluminum foil with the thickness of less than 0.2mm and aluminum plate with the thickness of more than 0.2mm. The density of aluminum or aluminum foil is 2.70g/cm?, the melting point 660℃ and the boiling point 2327℃. It is a silver light metal with ductility and malleability. It can form a oxidation film to prevent metal corrosion in moist air. Tin foil is made by made by calendering tin. Since ,it has good ductility and malleability, it is easy to calender into tin foil paper with the thickness of less than 0.025mm, even can be made by hand. the density of tin is 5.75g/cm?, the melting point 231.89℃ and the boiling point 2260℃. It is characterized by good ductility and malleability, corrosion resistance and low melting point. It is a silver metal with a little blue. When heated up to 160℃, tin will convert to crisp tin. Since it stable chemical properties, it does not react with air at normal temperature.
The elements of them are different. It is better to use tin foil paper when heating food like barbecue, dessert, cake to avoid being burnt or overheated, or to clean conveniently. It also can be used for food shaping. For example, wrapping food with tin foil paper before baking when making rolled food, the food will be shaped. As for pregnancy, there is no such an idea that pregnant women cannot use tin foil paper. Everything has a degree. Have a good grasp of degree is ok.
Tin foil paper is a filmed metallic paper coated with something like silver, such as the metallic paper used for cigarette packaging. The color is silver. aluminum foil paper is a metallic paper by bonding the slip sheet of aluminum foil and aluminum foil paste. It is used for food damp proof and packaging. Both can be used for cooking and package.
Tin foil is thinner than aluminum foil. Tin foil is non-toxic, but long-term use may influence the intelligence quotient of children.
