... component providing gas resistance is the aluminium layer. This is typically 0.012 mm thick and is often encapsulated by very thin layers of LDPE. The foil is therefore vulnerable to damage from puncture by narrow sharp objects in the field. Aluminium corrodes in aggressive and moist environments and could...
