FAQs

1. What is the difference between Puratronic™ and standard aluminum foil?

Puratronic™ aluminum foil undergoes specialized refining processes to achieve 99.998% purity, eliminating virtually all trace metallic impurities that could interfere with sensitive experiments. Standard aluminum foil typically contains higher levels of impurities and lacks the rigorous quality control required for research applications.

2. Can this foil be cut into smaller pieces without affecting its properties?

Yes, the foil can be precisely cut using clean laboratory scissors or a sharp blade without compromising its purity or structural integrity. For best results, use dedicated cutting tools to prevent cross-contamination from other materials.

3. What storage conditions are recommended to maintain the foil’s purity?

Store the foil in its original packaging or a sealed container in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Avoid exposure to moisture or corrosive atmospheres, as these can degrade the surface quality over time.

4. Is this foil compatible with vacuum chamber applications?

The high purity and low outgassing properties make this foil suitable for vacuum environments. However, proper degassing procedures should be followed before use in ultra-high vacuum systems to prevent residual gas release.

5. How does the thickness affect the foil’s performance in thermal applications?

The 2.0mm thickness provides excellent thermal conductivity while maintaining sufficient rigidity for most lab applications. Thicker foil offers better heat distribution but may require more energy for temperature changes compared to thinner alternatives.
