Semi-rigid containers
Semi-rigid aluminium containers are typically used as disposable or single-use containers to cook or reheat food. Like all aluminium for food applications, alloys used to make semi-rigid containers are impermeable, inert, and offer good mechanical properties. The alloys meet all regulatory requirements for food contact applications and do not jeopardise the organoleptic (taste or smell) properties of the food.
Aludium offers a range of food-grade alloys which are suitable for forming into semi-rigid containers.
