Aluminium Foil
Vapour barrier and corrosion protection layer
Aluminium foil is used in insulation systems mainly as a vapour barrier and as a corrosion protection layer over stainless steel surfaces. In cold insulation it helps limit sweating or condensation between the insulation and the jacketing.

Questions, answered.
The ones we get most about Aluminium Foil. Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp and an estimator will reply.
What temperature can Aluminium Foil take?
Low temperature resistance: -40°C, as per the datasheet. Tell us your operating temperature and we will confirm the right grade before we quote.
What sizes and grades does Aluminium Foil come in?
Thickness: 130 microns. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us and we will check what the manufacturer can make.
Where is Aluminium Foil used?
Typical uses: vapour barrier in cold insulation systems; layer between insulation and jacketing; corrosion protection over stainless steel vessels and pipes.
Can SGPL supply and install Aluminium Foil?
Yes. We supply it on its own, or our own crews install it as part of our cold insulation and insulation cladding and finishing work. That starts with a site visit and a written specification, and ends with a joint measurement at handover.
Is Aluminium Foil in stock, and do you send a datasheet?
We hold Aluminium Foil at our Vatva GIDC (Ahmedabad) and Morbi stockyards. You can download the datasheet on this page, and we can send the test certificate with the dispatch. Send your enquiry before 4 pm and you will usually hear back the same working day.
