FAQs
1. What is the purity level of this aluminium foil, and why does it matter?
The foil has a 99.5% purity level, classified as AR (Analytical Reagent) grade. This high purity minimizes contamination risks, ensuring accurate and reproducible results in sensitive lab procedures where trace impurities could interfere with outcomes.
2. Can this foil be used for high-temperature applications?
Yes, aluminium foil can withstand moderate to high temperatures, typically up to 600°C, depending on the duration of exposure. However, prolonged exposure to extreme heat may cause oxidation or structural changes, so it’s best to verify specific temperature limits for your application.
3. Is this foil compatible with acidic or alkaline solutions?
While aluminium foil is generally resistant to weak acids and bases, strong acidic or alkaline solutions can corrode it over time. For such applications, consider using a protective coating or alternative materials like PTFE if long-term exposure is expected.
4. How should this foil be stored to maintain its quality?
Store the foil in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it sealed in its original packaging or an airtight container to prevent oxidation or contamination from airborne particles.
5. Are there alternatives to this foil for specific lab applications?
Alternatives include copper foil for better electrical conductivity, PTFE sheets for chemical resistance, or stainless steel foil for higher temperature stability. The choice depends on the specific requirements of your experiment, such as thermal, chemical, or electrical properties.
