Aluminum Foil For Tea Lights

Why Aluminum Foil for Tea Lights?

Welcome to Huasheng Aluminum, your trusted partner in providing premium-quality aluminum foil for tea lights. Aluminum foil is the preferred material for tea light cups due to its exceptional properties. It offers a combination of durability, heat resistance, and eco-friendliness that makes it ideal for holding wax while withstanding the heat generated by the burning candle. Additionally, aluminum foil is lightweight, recyclable, and customizable, allowing for various shapes and finishes to meet different market demands.

Key Benefits of Aluminum Foil for Tea Lights:

• Heat Resistance: Aluminum foil can withstand high temperatures, ensuring that the tea light cup maintains its shape even during long burn times.
• Durability: The foil's strong yet flexible nature prevents it from tearing or deforming, making it a reliable choice for manufacturers.
• Eco-Friendly: Being 100% recyclable, aluminum foil is an environmentally conscious material that aligns with sustainable practices.
• Lightweight: Its light weight makes it easy to transport and handle, reducing overall production and shipping costs.

Technical Specifications

Understanding the technical specifications of aluminum foil is crucial for selecting the right material for your tea lights. At Huasheng Aluminum, we offer a range of options tailored to meet specific requirements.

Alloy Selection:

• 3005 Alloy: Known for its excellent anti-rust properties, making it ideal for tea lights that will be exposed to moisture.
• 3105 Alloy: Offers high strength and good corrosion resistance, perfect for more demanding applications.
• 3004 Alloy: A versatile choice with a good balance of strength and formability, suitable for most tea light applications.

Temper: The "O" temper signifies that the aluminum foil is fully annealed, making it soft and malleable, which is essential for shaping into cups without cracking.

Thickness: The range of 0.068 – 0.090 mm provides options for different levels of sturdiness, depending on the specific needs of the tea light design.

Width: Customizable widths from 200 mm to 1700 mm allow for versatility in manufacturing processes, accommodating different production scales.

Surface Finish: A mill finish ensures a smooth surface that enhances the visual appeal of the final product, making the tea lights attractive to consumers.

Lubrication: Applied on both sides of the foil, lubrication ensures smooth unwinding and prevents sticking during the production process.

Manufacturing Process of aluminum foil

The production of aluminum foil for tea lights involves several key steps, each crucial to ensuring the final product's quality. At Huasheng Aluminum, we employ state-of-the-art technology and adhere to strict quality control measures throughout the manufacturing process.

1. Alloy Selection: The process begins with choosing the appropriate alloy based on the specific requirements of the tea light cups.

2. Rolling: The aluminum is rolled to the desired thickness, ensuring consistency and uniformity across the entire batch.

3. Annealing: The rolled aluminum undergoes annealing, a heat treatment process that softens the material, making it easier to shape without compromising its strength.

4. Slitting: The annealed aluminum is then slit into the required widths, ready for the next stage of production.

5. Surface Treatment: Depending on the application, the aluminum may receive a surface treatment to enhance its properties, such as applying lubrication to reduce friction during cup forming.

6. Quality Control: Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets our high standards for thickness, strength, and surface quality.

7. Packaging: The final product is carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit, ready for delivery to our customers.

Applications of Aluminum Foil for Tea Lights

Aluminum foil for tea lights is primarily used to create the cups that hold the wax and wick of the candle. However, its versatility allows it to be used in various other applications within the candle-making industry.

Standard Tea Light Cups: The most common application, aluminum foil is shaped into small cups that hold the wax. These cups are lightweight, durable, and provide excellent heat resistance.

Custom Tea Light Designs: Aluminum foil's malleability allows for the creation of custom shapes and sizes, catering to unique candle designs that stand out in the market.

Decorative Elements: The smooth surface of aluminum foil can be further embellished or colored, providing aesthetic appeal to tea lights for special occasions or themed products.
