    Aluminum oxide is not a protective coating that is applied at the factory, it is the natural reaction when pure aluminum is exposed to oxygen in the air.

      Maybe you should look up "aluminum oxide coatings", and see for yourself what they are. You might get a surprise, instead of just assuming the manufacturer provided information was wrong.

      Same as they didnt mention in the video why one side is shiny and the other side isnt. That they rol 2 layers between the rollers so it can be thinner, and that thats the reason why one side is shiny and the kther not.

      Yeah, there's such a lot of nonsense that they have woven into the fabric of this short 'documentary'. It is filled to the brim with stuff like 'after this fabrication step the rolls of aluminum are placed in high quality boxes'.. As if such things are a required step before the next phase, namely rolling it to a(n even) smaller diameter.. From a certain point oneards they mistake and mix up all kinds of phases of production, they mistake alu that is produced in ingots and sent off to factories that make different things of it with steps involved in making of actual aluminium FOIL, and besides not following much of a logical order, they show footage of completely different things than what they talk about and make it sound as if the characteristics of alu are the result of aspects to production that only have to do with logistics and management of the production line. Al that as they use the word quality every twenty seconds for no reason

    Aluminum products weren't generally available to the mass market until the late 1940s and early 1950s. The reason for this is that aluminum is quite expensive to process and cost effective means were still in development prior to that. Simple smelting, as with copper and iron, doesn't work well. The reason you have to use the electrolysis process is because aluminum oxide is a very strongly bonded and aluminum oxidizes so readily that it is used as a de-oxidizer in steel production and things like welding electrodes. Yet when you consider what we've been able to do with it, in my opinion, it really is a miracle metal!

    Just for future reference, EVERY Factora video includes numerous errors at the beginning so they can get more engagements from people like me who love to point out that stuff. In this case, in the first few seconds, he mispronounces Toblerone and adds another T in it. Ironic that I have to point this out by giving him another engagement.

    Within the last number of years manufacturing of foil has changed. If you notice that if you use it to cover food that has been cooked-the surface facing the food looks like it is burnt. This has not been always the case. There is a definite change in the way foil is manufactured and I know from someone who does a lot of cooking and baking.

      Who changed English spelling to American? That man is Noah Webster, the iconic dictionary editor whose name is now synonymous with dictionaries in the United States. In the late 1700s, Webster took issue with some of the inconsistencies of British spelling and the troubles they posed for American students learning the language.

Anyway, it’s well known that 50% of Americans can’t pronounce anything derived from French or Spanish, but in fairness English is the most nonsensical and convoluted language on the planet. My favourite has always been ‘Featherstonhaugh’ which I believe is pronounced ‘Fanshaw’.
