The Difference Between Regular Aluminum Foil, Heavy-Duty Aluminum Foil, And Extra Heavy Aluminum Foil

Use

Regular or all-purpose foil is suitable for lightweight food packaging in the kitchen, food delivery and refrigeration.

Heavy duty foil provides stronger grades for commercial use. It can be used to heat in the oven and is perfect for wrapping bulky items.

Extra heavy duty foil has the thickest foil rating and is ideal for wrapping meat around bones, covering large dishes for baking, and for long-term freezer storage.

Thickness

Regular, heavy or extra heavy duty foils are all made of the same material, the only difference is the thickness of the foil.

Most manufacturers use terms like standard duty, heavy duty and extra heavy duty to describe foil thickness.

Type	inch	mm
standard aluminum foil	0.0004 – 0.0007	0.01016 – 0.01778
heavy duty aluminum Foil	0.0008 – 0.001	0.02032 – 0.0254
extra heavy duty aluminum foil	0.0011 – 0.0016	0.02794 – 0.04064

First, let’s understand how to measure aluminum foil to get its foil thickness. The thickness of aluminum foil is usually measured in mils (mils), which is the European unit of measurement and currently tends to be replaced by the international unit of measurement.

A mil is one thousandth of an inch, which is 0.001 numerically. So convert it to national unit

1 inch = 2.54 cm = 25.4 mm = 1000 * 25.4 microns

Below are the terms used by manufacturers and their corresponding thicknesses.

Standard or General Purpose Aluminum Foil – It is available in thicknesses ranging from 0.4 to 0.7 mils.

Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil – It is considered the most common type of aluminum foil used for commercial and domestic use. Foil provides extra strength and tear resistance for grilling, baking and storage. It is available in thicknesses from 0.8 to 1 mil.

Extra Heavy Duty Foil – The foil is stiffer in thickness and has excellent tear resistance, making it ideal for extra heavy duty use. It is between 1.1 and 1.6 mils thick. Anything beyond this thickness is custom.
