What Are the Performance Characteristics of the Aluminum Collapsible Tube?

In response to the demand for environment protection, industries have strived to upgrade their production procedures as well as raw materials so as to eliminate high-energy and/or high-pollution production. When it comes to sustainability and recyclability of product packaging, the advantages of aluminum collapsible tube stand out.

As a white light metal with abundant resources, aluminum is second only to steel in output. The application of aluminum in the packaging industry is the first among non-ferrous metals. General forms of aluminum semi-finished products include plate, block, foil, slug, and aluminized film. Aluminum plates are usually used as construction material. Aluminum blocks are used to make extruded and thinned cans. Aluminum foil is generally used for moisture-proof inner packaging or to make composite materials and flexible packaging. Aluminum slugs can be extruded to make aluminum collapsible tubes. Let's go into details here.

• Aluminum packaging materials have excellent processing properties

• Aluminum packaging material has excellent comprehensive protection performance

• Aluminum packaging material has repeated recyclability

Aluminum packaging materials have excellent processing properties

In general, aluminum packaging materials have excellent mechanical properties and high strength. It can be made into a thin wall, having high compressive strength, not easy to break. The processing technology of aluminum is mature and can be continuous and automatic in production. Aluminum packaging material has good ductility and strength and can be rolled into sheets and foils of different thicknesses. Sheets can be pressed, rolled, stretched, and welded to make packaging containers of different shapes and sizes. Foils can be combined with plastics so as to give full play to good, comprehensive protection. All the features makes the aluminum packaging safe and reliable, easy to store, carry, transport, load and unload and use.

Aluminum packaging material has excellent comprehensive protection performance

Aluminum water vapor transmittance is very low, completely opaque and can effectively avoid the harmful effects of UV light. Its air-resistance, moisture-proof, light-shading, and fragrance-protection are much better than plastic, paper, and other types of packaging materials. Aluminum collapsible tubes are commonly used for packaging toothpaste, hand cream and other skincare products. It can maintain the quality of cream products for a long time, as long shelf life is essential for both suppliers and consumers. Aluminum packaging tubes have a special metallic luster but can also be printed to create a distinctively luxurious, beautiful, and marketable product image.

Aluminum packaging material has repeated recyclability

From the aspect of environment protection, aluminum collapsible tube is an ideal “green” packaging material as it can be recycled and reused repeatedly. 50% of the world's aluminum packaging materials have been recycled, and the energy consumption of used aluminum collapsible tubes in the recycling process only needs 5% of the energy required to produce primary aluminum. By using aluminum collapsible tube for product packaging, environmentally friendly and recycled sustainable packaging is not a beautiful slogan, but a practical action.
