Aluminium Barrier Foil

Aluminium barrier foil protects any product from deterioration due to moisture, oxygen ingress, UV light, temperature extremes, odours and much more.

The performance of aluminium barrier laminates is determined by their Moisture Vapour Transmission rate (W.V.T.R.), which at

To compare, polyethylene, with a thickness of 125um, allows water vapour and aggressive gases to diffuse at a rate of up to 4gms/m²/24hr which is 80 times faster!

Within a heat-sealed aluminium barrier foil bag, a calculated amount of desiccant can be added to ensure that the relative humidity (RH) remains well below 40% – the starting point for corrosion. A 25um layer of aluminium even improves on these figures.
