Netherlands import of aluminium household articles during 2019-22 reflects excellent demand upswing

The metal aluminium is an excellent heat and electricity conductor and in correlation to its weight is almost the least when compared to steel and copper and hence aluminium is a preferred metal today for household articles. It is also a superb heat sink for many applications that require heat to be drained away rapidly. However, aluminium reacts with oxygen present in the air to form a thin layer of aluminium oxide, which is very stable and prevents further reaction of aluminium with oxygen.
