【XIEYING Aesthetics】——Take you to know aluminum foil
Because the domestic and foreign markets have always referred to aluminum foil packaging products as tin foil or tin foil containers, I must correct this misunderstanding once again and rectify the name of the safest and environmentally friendly aluminum foil packaging!
(This is tin foil)
First of all, tin is the fourth precious metal behind platinum, gold and silver. Pure tin is luster, non-toxic, not easy to oxidize and discolor, and has good sterilization, purification, and preservation effects. The chemical properties of tin are very stable and are not easily oxidized by oxygen at room temperature, so it often maintains a shiny silver luster. Note: Pure tin is non-toxic, and people often plate it on the inner wall of the copper pot to prevent the copper warm water from generating toxic patina. Toothpaste shells are also commonly made of tin (toothpaste shells are made of two layers of tin with a layer of lead in the center. In recent years, my country has gradually used aluminum instead of tin to make toothpaste shells)

Secondly, tin foil paper is a unique handicraft product in Shaoxing in the early years. In ancient China, its main purpose was to make money to worship ghosts and gods. There are many other uses, such as sealing. The shape of ancient tin foil paper is rectangular or square, thin paper sheet, can be folded and deformed. The tin foil paper is silver-white in color, and the ash is golden after burning. Its main components are tin and aluminum, which are alloys of tin and aluminum.
(These are aluminum foil)
Aluminum foil is produced by rolling aluminum metal. The thickness range applied to food packaging is 0.006-0.3mm. For example, disposable lunch boxes used on airplanes are made of aluminum foil and can be placed in a microwave or oven to heat meals. Usually, the tin foil packaging is also aluminum foil.

Aluminum foil has too many advantages in food packaging applications
I hope you will call it aluminum foil paper or aluminum foil packaging in the future!
——What is the magical effect of aluminum foil paper——Aluminum foil paper is a standing item in home cabinets. It is cheap and resistant to high temperatures. In addition to wrapping food materials, it also has many tricks in life.
Extend the holding time of food:
After the food is ready, such as steamed buns, buns, fried dough sticks, etc., wrap it in a napkin while it is hot, and then wrap it with aluminum foil to keep it warm for a longer time.
To restore the silverware to light:
To restore the darkened silverware to light, you can first spread aluminum foil in the pot and fill it with water, then add a little salt, then soak the silverware in the pot, take it out after 2-3 minutes, and rinse it off with water Finally, let it dry to restore the brightness of the silverware.
Package stored silverware:
Before storing silverware, be sure to clean it first, then wrap it tightly in cellophane, and squeeze out the air as much as possible, then wrap it with aluminum foil and seal both ends, which can effectively prevent the silverware from becoming gray.
Mattresses to prevent children from wetting:
Find a few pieces of aluminum foil, spread it on the mattress, and put a big bath towel on it, and then put on sheets, etc. This way, even if the child urinates on the bed, it will not wet the mattress.
Sharpen blunt scissors:
Scissors will become dull after a long time. At this time, take a piece of aluminum foil, flatten it, fold it in half, and then use scissors to cut the aluminum foil several times. The blunt scissors will restore their sharpness.
To fix a loose battery:
For some electrical appliances that require batteries, such as flashlights, electric toys, etc., after a long period of use, the springs that hold the batteries in them lose their elasticity, causing the electrical appliances to fail to operate normally. If the aluminum foil is folded into a small cushion, the thickness is just enough to make up for the elasticity lost by the spring, and then it is placed between the battery and the spring, and the electrical appliance can return to normal.
Iron clothes quickly:
When ironing clothes, lay a few pieces of aluminum foil on the ironing board to speed up the ironing of wrinkles. This is mainly because the aluminum foil can reflect heat and reflect the heat absorbed by the ironing board to the clothes.
Keep matches dry:Wrap the matches with aluminum foil to prevent the matches from becoming damp or getting wet.
Remove dirt:When there is dirt on the pot or plate, knead the aluminum foil into a ball and gently wipe the pot or plate to remove the dirt.
Clean jewelry:Find a small container, cover it with aluminum foil, add hot water and a little bleach-free washing powder, then put the jewelry in the container, soak for 1 minute, take it out, rinse with water, and let it air dry.
