Aluminium foil for industrial applications

Aluminium foil is a good choice for industrial applications because of its excellent resistance and affordable price. A variety of aluminium alloys and foils with various qualities can be created by alloying Aluminium with other metals including magnesium, manganese, copper, nickel, silicon, or zinc.

Aluminium foil offers many options and is essential in every sector of the industry, whether it be for packaging or technical applications like the vapor barrier in house construction or the insulation in pipe systems.

Listed below are a few industrial applications for Aluminium foils:

Insulation Capabilities

Aluminium foil is frequently used in building panels because of its heat-reflective and barrier qualities, which improve the insulation capabilities of contemporary building systems. High-performance insulation for ductwork and piping is also provided using Aluminium foil as a skin for heat-insulating and incombustible materials.

Top insulating materials like stone wool, foam insulation panels, and lamellar mats used in the construction industry to insulate buildings, Aluminium foil is utilized as a top layer. The film functions as a vapor barrier to make sure that no water vapor can get through to the insulation, which stops mold growth and moisture damage.

Aluminium foil, which has a reflective surface, is corrosion-resistant, has a long lifespan, and is utilized to make the adhesive tape that is used to hold the laminated material together. The use of Aluminium foil in electrical cables aids in providing long-term insulation against moisture intrusion and attack from naturally occurring corrosive substances located above and below the ground.

Heat Exchangers

In recent years, Aluminium has essentially taken the place of copper as the metal of choice for heat exchangers. The high heat conductivity and significantly reduced weight that Aluminium alloys provide are crucial in every automobile situation. Success for Aluminium has come from extensive development work on alloys, brazing, and other joining techniques as well as the emergence of “clad” materials combining strength with the simplicity of joining.

Packaging Industry

Aluminium foil first gained popularity in the packaging sector at the turn of the 20th century. Aluminium foils up to 10 (1/100 mm) thick may be made as early as 1910 if they were laminated with paper. Aluminium has quickly evolved from being used to package chocolate to being made into beverage cans, coffee capsules, grill trays, and bottle caps thanks to technological advancements.

Super handy step by step way of wrapping an onigiri rice ball thanks to aluminium foil+tape, to mimic store-bought ones clever (but all plastic) packagings.

Keeping the nori (seaweed sheet) apart means it will not get soggy because of the rice, and will retain crispiness until snack time :D

Wow might be my first proper dumpster diving post. Found this old keyboard in the school I was working at. Not an expensive or even rare model (quite cheap and easily obtainable in fact) but it didn't work and I wanted to try and fix it. Only 40% ish of the keys worked.

Issue was that the contacts on the far right of the membrane weren't contacting the small controller board. Years of use had flexed them to breaking, but since it's plastic, no soldering!

Anyway, tried taping aluminium foil to the broken traces on the plastic (as shown here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC5P7IGR8-M)

Got about 70% of the keys working this way. Sadly this didn't work for the remaining 30%, tried making conductive paint with graphite powder and glue but didn't work either annoyingly. Maybe commercial paint would've worked, but didn't wanna spend money on this thing.

Last ditch effort, soldered wires to the actual controller board and tried taping the ends to the surface of the traces on the plastic. Noooope. So now I shall say goodbye, learned a decent bit about fixing membrane keyboards so yay!

tape and aluminium foil.

how else do you keep souls in a bathtub??? with dreamies? I mean bacon works pretty well, but tape and foil is the best.

Huh…right. That still didn’t tell me WHY YOU HAVE THEM

If you're dirt-poor in a heat box house and can't afford curtains, taping aluminium foil in your windows helps a lot. Just be sure to crack them open a bit so the reflected heat has somewhere to go.

For all of the northerners that stood up for Texas during our freeze and said, "Don't make fun of them, they've never dealt with this before. Their infrastructure isn't made for snow and freezing."

This one is for you.

Where I live 108°F with 80% humidity with no wind is normal.

Pacific North West is dealing historic best waves 35-40��C or 95-105°F.

First of all. Don't make fun of them for bitching about the heat. Just like Texas isn't built for a freeze and our pipes burst, Pacific North West isn't built for heat and a lot of their homes don't have AC.

If you live somewhere with a high humidity like 80+ HUMIDITY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. The "humidity makes it feel cooler" is a lie once it gets beyond a point.

If you live somewhere with a lower humidity, misters are nice to cool off outside.

Once you get over 90°F (32°C) a fan will not help you. It's just pushing around hot air. (I mean if you can't afford a small AC unit because they're expensive as hell, by all means a fan is better than nothing).

If you have pets, those portable AC units aren't safe. If your pets destroy the outtake thing, it'll leak CO2. Window units are safer.

Window AC units will let mosquitoes or other small bugs in. Sucks, but that's life.

Now is not the time to me modest. If you have to cover for religious reasons, by all means. If you don't, I've seen people wear short shorts and a swim top. It's not trashy if it keeps you from getting heat stroke.

If you do have to cover up for religious reasons, look for elephant pants or something similar. They're made with a breathable material.

Shade is better than no shade, but that shit it just diet sun after some point. Don't think shade will save you from heat stroke.

I know the "drink your water" is a fun meme now, but if you're sweating excessively you need electrolytes. Drink Gatorade, Powerade, or Pedialite PLEASE. I don't care if you're fucking sitting in one spot all day. That shit WILL save you from heat stroke.

Most importantly. RESEARCH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAT STROKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION PLEASE!

If you're diabetic and can't drink Gatorade, mix water, fruit juice, and either lite salt or pink salt

If you can afford it, cover windows with thick curtains to insulate the house

If you have tile floors, lay on them with skin to tile contact. If you don't, laying your head on cool counters works too.

If the temperature where you're at is hotter than your body temperature, don't wear heat wicking clothing. Moisture wicking is safe though.

Check your medication labels. Many make you more susceptible to sun and heat

-Room temperature water will get into your body faster. This is something I learned doing marching band in high summer in Georgia, and it saved all of our asses. Sip it, don't gulp it, especially if you're getting into the red; same goes for whatever fluid you're drinking. And just in general drink during the day.

-If you are moving from an air conditioned space to an un-air conditioned space, if at all possible try to make the shift gradual. When my dad and I were working outside and in un-ac houses a few years ago, he'd turn the air down to low in the truck about ten-fifteen minutes before we got where we were going. This way your body doesn't go from low low temps to high temps. S'bad for you.

-If you can, keep your lights off during the day. Light bulbs may not generate a lot of heat, but the difference is noticeable when it gets hot enough. I literally only turn my bedroom light on in the evening when it gets too dark.

Don't be afraid to just like... pour water on yourself if you need to. The evaporation will cool you off.

Put your hand to the cement for 15 seconds. If you can't handle the heat, it'll burn your dog's paws. Don't let them walk on it.

Dogs with flat faces are more prone to heat stroke. Don't leave them out unsupervised.

Frozen fruit is delicious in water.

Wet/Cold hat/handkerchief on your head/neck will help you stay cool.

Pickle juice is great for electrolytes! You can even make pickle juice Popsicles!

Heat exhaustion is more, "drink water and get you cooled off." Heat stroke is more "Oh my god call 911."

[Image description: an infographic showing the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The graphic is labeled "Heat Dangers: First Warning." Signs of heat exhaustion: faint or dizzy, excessive sweating, cool, pale, clammy skin, rapid, weak pulse, muscle cramps. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use cold compress. Signs of heat stroke: throbbing headache, no sweating, red, hot, dry skin, rapid, strong pulse, may lose consciousness. If you think you or someone else may be experiencing heat stroke, call 911.
