Aluminum Foil

Aluminium foil is aluminium prepared in thin metal leaves with a thickness less than 0.2 mm thinner gauges down to 6 micrometres (0.24 mils) are also commonly used. The foil is pliable, and can be readily bent or wrapped around objects. Thin foils are fragile and are sometimes laminated with other materials such as plastics or paper to make them stronger and more useful.
