AL9664 Antimicrobial Coated Hydrophilic Aluminium Foil (Green)

Antimicrobial Coated Hydrophilic Aluminium Foil (Green) Description

This product consists of a blend of 1000 and 3006 series aluminium alloys with an engineered organic coating that imparts hydrophilic and antimicrobial properties. The controlled coating process results in a uniform surface energy that facilitates rapid liquid spread. This technical formulation minimises microbial adhesion and supports applications requiring clean, controllable surfaces. Its engineered properties are designed to improve process efficiency and maintain environmental hygiene in sensitive applications.

Antimicrobial Coated Hydrophilic Aluminium Foil (Green) Applications

Industrial Applications
- Used as a barrier in processing equipment to minimise microbial contamination by leveraging the foil's hydrophilic organic surface. This reduces cleaning cycles and enhances system sanitation.
- Applied as a lining in production lines to hinder biofilm formation by exploiting its antimicrobial coating, thereby facilitating maintenance and downtime reduction.

Healthcare Applications
- Used as a shielding component in medical device housings to achieve reduced microbial adhesion by utilising the controlled antimicrobial properties. This assists in lowering infection risks and simplifies surface decontamination.

Antimicrobial Coated Hydrophilic Aluminium Foil (Green) Packing

The foil is packaged in moisture-resistant, high-density polyethylene pouches to safeguard against environmental contamination. Each unit is sealed to maintain surface integrity and transported under controlled, cool, and dry conditions to preserve the organic coating performance. Anti-contamination measures are integrated into the packaging design. Custom packaging options and labelling are available to suit specific storage and handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the organic coating process affect the foil's hydrophilic properties?
A1: The coating is applied using a controlled deposition process that ensures uniform surface energy, which directly improves wetting behaviour and consistency across the entire foil surface.

Q2: What quality control measures are implemented during production?
A2: SAM conducts microscopic inspections and precise thickness measurements on the organic layer. These tests verify coating uniformity and adherence to specified alloy standards, ensuring technical consistency.

Q3: Can the antimicrobial characteristics be adjusted to meet specific industrial requirements?
A3: Yes, the organic coating formulation offers flexibility to fine-tune antimicrobial activity and hydrophilic response based on targeted application needs, supporting tailored process integration.

Additional Information

Aluminium alloys are central to many industrial processes due to their advantageous strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Recent advancements in surface treatment technologies enable the functionalisation of these alloys with organic coatings, which modify surface energy and biological interactions without altering the underlying structural properties.

The integration of hydrophilic and antimicrobial features through surface modifications represents significant progress in material science. Such enhancements are being explored to address challenges in applications where hygiene, material longevity, and process cleanliness are critical, demonstrating the evolving role of treated aluminium in advanced industrial systems.
