Product Overview
This 99.995% pure cobalt foil, manufactured to Puratronic™ standards, offers exceptional chemical purity with minimal trace impurities, making it suitable for demanding laboratory applications. The 0.5mm thickness ensures structural integrity while maintaining flexibility for precise handling. The foil’s uniform composition and controlled dimensions (50x100mm) provide consistency in experimental setups. Its high-purity grade eliminates contamination risks in sensitive procedures, while the metallic cobalt base delivers reliable thermal and electrical conductivity. The foil undergoes rigorous quality checks to maintain its 99.995% metals basis purity, with all impurities strictly controlled below 50ppm. This level of purity makes it particularly valuable for applications where trace element interference must be minimized. The foil’s smooth surface finish prevents particle generation during handling, while its dimensional stability ensures repeatable results across experiments. As a non-reactive material, it maintains its properties under various environmental conditions, though proper storage is recommended to prevent oxidation. The Puratronic™ certification guarantees traceability and batch-to-batch consistency, critical for reproducible research outcomes.
FAQs
1. What is the maximum operating temperature for this cobalt foil?
This 99.995% pure cobalt foil maintains structural integrity up to 1100°C in inert atmospheres, though oxidation may occur above 300°C in air.
2. Can this foil be cut to custom dimensions without affecting purity?
Standard cutting methods may introduce surface contamination, so we recommend using clean-room scissors or laser cutting for critical applications.
3. How does the Puratronic™ grade differ from standard cobalt foil?
Puratronic™ grade guarantees 99.995% minimum purity with all impurities controlled below 50ppm, unlike standard grades which typically contain higher trace elements.
4. What storage conditions are recommended to prevent oxidation?
Store in a desiccator or sealed container under argon atmosphere with humidity below 10% to minimize surface oxidation over time.
5. Are there any handling precautions for this ultra-pure cobalt foil?
Always use powder-free gloves and avoid direct contact with skin oils, as even minimal contamination can affect the foil’s surface purity for sensitive applications.
