Hindalco's closure stock is rolled to very fine tolerances
Hindalco's closure stock is rolled to very fine tolerances to yield more closure per tonne of stock and to allow uninterrupted operation of high-speed, multiple-cavity presses. Its strength, high formability, low earing and printable surfaces make it ideal for pilfer-proof caps and vial seals.

Flatness
Less than 20 I units (typical)
For example:
::
20 I unit means; in length of 1 meter
::
1 wave sum of rises 5 mm, avg. rise of each wave 5.00 mm
::
4 wave sum of rises 8 mm, avg. rise of each wave 2.00 mm
::
6 wave sum of rises 8 mm, avg. rise of each wave 1.30 mm

Packing
Sheet: Sheets are placed in wooden boxes on wooden skids with runners along the length of the sheet. They are wrapped in HDPE with hardboard on top and bottom of the stack. Hoop iron strapping runs along the length of the sheets. Silica gel packets are put in the boxes for moisture protection.

Alternatively, they are wrapped in a poly-laminated gunny or polythene, strapped with a hoop iron strap and clip and placed on a wooden pallet. Edge guards are used and the sheets are wrapped with protective thermocol sheets.

Coil: Coil is placed on wooden pallets in either eye-to-sky or eye-to-wall condition, wrapped in HDPE fabric and hardboard, and strapped with hoop iron. Silica gel packets are used for moisture protection.

  Aluminium recycling has
been a common practice
since the early 1900s. The process does not damage
the metal's structure.
Recycling aluminium cans,
foil and foil containers helps
in conserving energy.
