AL9662 Hydrophilic Aluminium Foil with Organic Lubricant Coating

Hydrophilic Aluminium Foil with Organic Lubricant Coating Description

Hydrophilic Aluminium Foil with Organic Lubricant Coating is manufactured from 1000 and 3004 series aluminium alloys and is processed with an organic coating that imparts hydrophilic properties. The organic lubricant improves surface wetting and processability in environments requiring controlled friction. Fabricated in foil form, the material is optimised for processes that involve high-speed handling and advanced coating or printing technologies, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial equipment.

Hydrophilic Aluminium Foil with Organic Lubricant Coating Applications

1.       Electronics Manufacturing
   - Used as a substrate component in printed circuit fabrication to achieve uniform coating deposition by leveraging the foil’s hydrophilic surface.
   - Applied in roll-to-roll processing systems to minimise friction and ensure smooth material transport during high-speed operations.

2.       Industrial Processing
   - Serves as a release liner in lamination equipment to reduce stiction, facilitating consistent separation in composite material production.
   - Frequently used in coating processes where high surface wetting is required to achieve uniform ink or adhesive application.

Hydrophilic Aluminium Foil with Organic Lubricant Coating Packing

The foil is packaged in moisture-resistant, anti-static bags and securely enclosed within rigid, foam-lined cartons to minimise mechanical damage and contamination. Storage guidelines recommend a dry, ambient temperature environment to retain the coating’s integrity. Custom packaging options, including labelled containers and compartmentalised units, are available upon request for specific handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the organic lubricant coating affect the foil’s processing performance?
A1: The organic lubricant coating enhances surface hydrophilicity, reducing friction during processing and facilitating uniform deposition of inks or adhesives. This minimises material pickup and improves overall process efficiency.

Q2: What quality control methods are employed to ensure coating uniformity?
A2: Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) employs inline optical inspection and spectroscopic analysis to verify coating uniformity and thickness. These methods detect variations at early stages, ensuring consistency in large-scale production environments.

Q3: Can the foil be customised for specific industrial applications?
A3: Yes, customisation in terms of alloy composition, coating formulation, and foil dimensions is available. Technical consultations are provided to adapt the product for varied industrial processes and equipment compatibility.

Additional Information

Aluminium alloys are widely utilised in high-speed manufacturing environments due to their lightweight and malleable properties. The integration of an organic lubricant coating further improves processability by reducing friction and enhancing surface interaction. This is critical in applications such as roll-to-roll processing and advanced printing.

Understanding the interplay between metal substrate properties and surface coatings is vital in materials science. Continued developments in coating technologies and inline quality control are expanding the functional applications of aluminium foils in diverse industrial sectors.
