Only 15 µm thick but completely free from grease in the as-rolled condition, the aluminum foil pictured was produced at Hydro’s Grevenbroich rolling mill in Germany. Previously material could only be cleaned of residual rolling oil by undergoing heat treatment. Hydro announced earlier this year a sophisticated bath process whereby foil can be chemically degreased yet still retain the original degree of hardness. (Photo credit: Hydro Aluminium)
