Product Description
When your experiments demand the highest purity, this Puratronic™ aluminum foil delivers. With a 99.997% metals basis, it’s engineered for researchers who can’t compromise on contamination risks. The 0.2mm thickness balances durability with flexibility, making it ideal for wrapping samples, creating barriers, or lining equipment in sensitive lab environments.
Unlike standard aluminum foils, this lab grade aluminum foil undergoes rigorous purification to eliminate trace impurities that could skew results. Whether you’re working in analytical chemistry, materials science, or electronics research, its consistency ensures reproducible outcomes. The foil’s smooth surface resists corrosion and reacts minimally with most substances, preserving sample integrity.
Available in convenient 100x500mm and 100x100mm sheets, it’s pre-cut for immediate use, saving you time in the lab. Researchers at eqipped trust this foil for applications like XRF sample preparation, vacuum deposition, and as a protective layer in high-temperature experiments. Its Puratronic™ certification guarantees compliance with stringent lab standards.

Why This Foil Stands Out
Not all aluminum foils are created equal. This high purity aluminum foil is designed for scientists who need:
- Minimal trace metal contamination (99.997% purity)
- Uniform thickness for consistent performance
- Chemical resistance in harsh lab conditions
- Pre-cut sizes to reduce handling and waste
From academic labs to R&D facilities, it’s the go-to choice when standard foils fall short. The foil’s malleability allows easy shaping without cracking, while its thermal conductivity ensures even heat distribution in applications like annealing or sample drying.
Common Lab Applications
This aluminum foil for labs excels in:
- Sample wrapping for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis
- Protective lining in furnaces and autoclaves
- Electrode fabrication in electrochemical studies
- Barrier layers in vacuum systems
- Calibration standards for analytical instruments
Its inert nature makes it compatible with acids, solvents, and high-temperature processes up to 600°C. Researchers in nanotechnology and semiconductor fields rely on its purity to prevent cross-contamination during delicate fabrications.
Handling and Storage Tips
To maintain the foil’s integrity:
- Store in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight
- Use clean gloves or tweezers to avoid oil transfer from hands
- Avoid folding sharply to prevent micro-cracks
- Keep sealed in original packaging until use
For long-term storage, consider desiccants to prevent oxidation in humid climates. Always inspect sheets for damage before use in critical applications.
FAQs
What makes Puratronic™ aluminum foil different from regular foil?
Puratronic™ foil undergoes additional purification to achieve 99.997% purity, removing trace metals like iron, copper, and silicon that could interfere with lab results. Regular foil typically contains higher impurity levels.
Can this foil be used in high-temperature applications?
Yes, it’s suitable for temperatures up to 600°C. However, prolonged exposure above 400°C may cause slight oxidation. For extreme heat applications, consider shorter exposure times.
Is this foil compatible with acidic solutions?
While aluminum resists many acids, strong acids like hydrochloric or sulfuric may corrode it over time. For acidic environments, test compatibility with your specific solution first.
How should I clean the foil before use?
Wipe gently with isopropyl alcohol (70% or higher) using a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface or leave residues.
Can I cut this foil into smaller sizes?
Absolutely. Use sharp scissors or a precision cutter for clean edges. For intricate shapes, score lightly with a razor before bending to prevent tearing.
