The popular uses of aluminum strips are for masks, shutter, transformer, caps,etc. The commonly used aluminum strip for face mask are 1060 and 3003 aluminum strip.

1. What Is the Uses of Aluminum Strips
Abstract: The popular uses of aluminum strips are for masks, shutter, transformer, caps,etc. The
commonly used aluminum strip for face mask are 1060 and 3003 aluminum strip.
Top Three Popular Uses of Aluminum Strips
The waste in production is always a troublesome problem for the aluminum products
manufacturers. If there is too much waste in production, it will increase the cost of the product
virtually. Therefore, aluminum strip is usually used for making aluminum nose wire, shutter and
cans body.
Aluminum nose strips for masks
Aluminum nose wire plays an important role in making masks better fit for the face of each
person, thus bringing better blocking effect for the virus. The aluminum nose wire should be of

2. smooth surface, no burrs and round corner, being easy to bend and good adhesion with glues.
For getting quality aluminum nose wire, we should make serious selection of aluminum nose
strip for masks, an important raw material for making aluminum nose wire. The recommended
ones are 1060 and 3003 aluminum strip.
Aluminum strip for shutter
Aluminum strip for shutter is commonly seen because of its excellent corrosion resistance and
light weight. Aluminum shutters protect the room from excess amounts of sun, heat, wind, and
cold. Exterior shutters are permanent, so you don’t have to install plywood over windows before
a storm. Aluminum shutters are durable, which
provides good protect from high winds and
debris.
Aluminum shutter strips are 3004, 3005 and
5052, the temper is H19, the thickness is
0.125-0.25mm. The width of aluminium
shutter strip are 15-100mm. Now it can be cut
into 11mm, 12mm, 12.5mm, 15mm, 16mm,
25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 60mm, 80mm, 89mm,
92.5mm, 112mm and other specifications, and
can also be customized according to
requirements.
Aluminum strip for cans
The cans manufacturing involve three types of
aluminum strip sheet. For the cans body, we usually choose 3004 aluminum strip; for the pull ring,
we choose 5182 aluminum strip; for the can lid, we choose 5052 aluminum strip.
Why is aluminum strips for cans so popular? In addition to environmental protection, aluminum
strip has good strength, good corrosion resistance, and good machinability, which is very suitable
for later processing such as slitting and slicing.
The Wide Application of Aluminum Strips
Aluminum strip is made of pure aluminum or aluminum alloy col which is rolled into a thin
aluminum coil of different thickness and width by a cold rolling machine, and then longitudinally
slit into different widths by a slitting machine according to the uses.

3. Aluminum strip for face mask
With the outbreak of COVID-19, medical masks such as N95 mask has been a daily necessity for
most people. In addition to the 95% filtration efficiency, another factor for the good protection of
N95 masks is its close contact to the face. That’s owed to the function of aluminum nose wire.
To make smooth aluminum nose wire with good adhesion, we need to choose quality aluminum
strip for masks. 1060 and 3003 aluminum strip are the popular choices. The width is 90-100 mm.
The thickness is 0.4-0.5 mm.
Aluminum strip for transformer
Aluminum strip is a key raw material for manufacturing transformer winding and it is obtained by
rolling aluminum ingots. It is divided into different grades, specifications and conditions according
to the use.
The aluminum strip for dry-type transformers is generally 1060 aluminum strip. Its aluminum
content of more than 99.6%, which belongs to a commonly used pure aluminum strip. Its
production process is relatively simple, technology is relatively mature, and price has a huge
advantage over other high-grade alloy aluminum strips.
With good elongation and tensile strength, it can fully meet the conventional processing
requirements. Other types of aluminum strips used for transformer are 1050,1070 and 1035
aluminum strips.
Aluminum strips for caps
The waste in production is always a troublesome problem for the aluminum products

4. manufacturers. If there is too much waste in production, it will increase the cost of the product
virtually.
At this time, aluminum strip with proper size will effectively reduce waste and cost, so for some
lamps and caps manufacturing enterprises, it is recommend to use aluminum strips.
Where to Buy Aluminum Strip for Masks
Withe the global pandemic of COVID-19, the demand for the medical mask such as N95 will keep
strong in a long period. The common medical masks are mainly composed of three layers of
non-woven fabrics. The inner layer is a common non-woven fabric, which is used to absorb the
moisture released by the wearer; the outer layer is a waterproof non-woven fabric, which is used
to isolate the external pollution air; the middle filter layer is a medical melt-blown cloth, which is
for blocking germs.
Fore effective protection, the melt-blown
cloth and aluminum nose wire are the most
important parts. The function of the
aluminum nose bridge is to position
between the two sides of the nose wings, so
that the medical mask can better fit the
face.
The aluminum mask strips are anti-rust,
anti-corrosive and highly bright. The surface
of the aluminum strip for masks has uniform
hole penetration, good straightness, no
deformation, and stable dimensions,high
strength and good toughness.
As for processing, it can be continuously
bent with bending equipment and has
excellent adhesion with various types of glues. The aluminum strip for face mask can be 1060 and
3003 aluminum strip. They are soft and easy to stamp into aluminum nose wire with round
corner.
At the same time, the price of these two aluminum strips are very economic because of mature
technology. As a big aluminum alloy manufacturer in China, Haomei Aluminum can offer you
1060 and 3003 aluminum strip for face masks. The width is 90-100 mm.
1060/3003 Aluminum Strips for Face Masks
Aluminum nose strip for face mask is to make the mask better fit to the face, which effectively
block dust, smoke, influenza virus,etc. It needs to have a good pressure-bearing strength so that
it does not rebound under pressure, so that the existing shape is not deformed. That’s why we
need quality aluminum strip to make aluminum nose wire.
Aluminum strip features good bending effect and strong formability. It has good combination
with various kinds of glues. It is of smooth surface and no burrs. Through stamping, the producer

5. can realize mass production of aluminum nose wire. Aluminum nose strips are mainly used for
medical masks.
There are different grades of aluminum nose strips for masks. Some are very cheap and some are
a little expensive. What are their difference? From the surface, they are usually smooth and
burr-free. There are two reasons: the alloys and processing craft.
There are two kinds of aluminum strips for face mask: 1060 and 3003 aluminum strip. In terms of
price, aluminum alloy 1060 is much cheaper while aluminum alloy 3003 has higher strength and
better rust resistance.
In addition, some suppliers or small manufacturers don’t have strict control of processing craft,
so their 1060/3003 aluminum strip can’t reach the standards. Haoemi Aluminum, a big aluminum
strip manufacture, can make it and we support sample test.
