What is the difference between PET matte silver paper and aluminum foil paper?

There are significant differences between PET matte silver paper and aluminum foil paper in multiple aspects, and the following are their main differences:

1、 Material composition and structure

PET matte silver paper:

Mainly made of polyester (PET) film, processed by special techniques, the surface has a matte silver effect.

It usually includes components such as base paper, face paper, and adhesive, among which the face paper is made of PET material, which has excellent physical properties and chemical stability.

Aluminum foil paper:

Made from aluminum metal through special processing techniques, it has a metallic luster and excellent thermal conductivity.

Usually a thin layer of aluminum foil that can be used alone or in combination with other materials.

2、 Performance characteristics

PET matte silver paper:

Has good resistance to pollution and solvent corrosion, and has a long storage time.

Good viscosity, heat-resistant, sturdy and tear resistant, stable specifications, and scratch resistant.

Silver white metallic luster, uniform color saturation, good texture and flexibility.

Suitable for outdoor and high-quality labels, long-term storage of label information content.

Aluminum foil paper:

High temperature resistance, aluminum has a high melting point and will not melt or release harmful substances under conventional cooking conditions.

Waterproof and oil resistant, waterproof and oil impermeable, can effectively prevent the loss of moisture and oil in food.

Good thermal conductivity, able to evenly distribute heat and improve cooking efficiency.

Strong flexibility and plasticity, easy to fold and wrap, can be shaped into various shapes according to needs.

3、 Application scenarios

PET matte silver paper:

Widely used in electronic devices (such as display screens, copiers, electronic product adapters, etc.), bathroom utensils, skincare products, jewelry, household appliances, mechanical equipment products, and other product labels.

It is also used to make barcode labels, adhesive labels, etc., which can significantly increase product sales in the packaging industry.

Aluminum foil paper:

Mainly used for cooking, baking, and food packaging, such as wrapping food when grilling meat, fish, and vegetables to prevent moisture loss and maintain the original flavor of the food.

It is also used to make cooking tools such as tin foil plates and cups, as well as for food preservation and storage.

4、 Environmental friendliness

PET matte silver paper:

During the production process, there may be a greater emphasis on the use of environmentally friendly materials and the implementation of energy-saving and emission reduction measures.

Some PET matte silver paper products may have degradability to reduce their impact on the environment.

Aluminum foil paper:

Aluminum foil paper may have certain environmental impacts during production and use, but due to its high recyclability and reusability, it also meets environmental protection requirements to a certain extent.

However, long-term excessive intake of aluminum may have an impact on the nervous system, bones, and kidneys. Therefore, when using aluminum foil, it is important to avoid prolonged contact with acidic or alkaline foods and to control heating time and temperature appropriately.

In summary, there are significant differences between PET matte silver paper and aluminum foil paper in terms of material composition, performance characteristics, application scenarios, and environmental friendliness. The choice of material depends on specific application requirements and scenarios.
