Rhenium Foil (Light Tight) is part of our extensive range of specialty metals and is available in 30 different variations of thickness and size. The high density and corrosion resistance of rhenium make it ideal for radiation shielding in scientific instruments and x-ray optics. Low permeability to infrared radiation means it’s also ideal for applications like infrared detectors and thermal imaging devices. Another reason to choose Rhenium Foil for precision optics and detectors is that it can be fabricated into complex geometries.
