Tin foil, it is to use metal tin by delay and added to the pressure equipment. Tin foil has excellent ductility and malleability, so processed into thickness below 0.025 mm tin foil quite easy, even manual processing. Tin foil good corrosion resistance, low melting point, appearance is silvery white microstrip blue metal, chemical performance is stable.

Aluminum foil and tin foil are both can used as packaging material

From the development point of view, tin is the ancient processing materials. The first is the tin bowl, tin and other food utensils as wine.
