1050 Aluminum Foil (Light Tight)

1050 Aluminum Foil (Light Tight) is used in optical experiments, photomultiplier tube shielding, and light-sensitive material storage due to its high opacity and reflectivity. Its high thermal conductivity enables effective heat dissipation in cryogenic insulation and thermal shielding within vacuum chambers and controlled-environment research enclosures. The foil’s purity and corrosion resistance make it suitable for use in laboratory cleanroom environments and chemical containment. It conforms easily around irregular shapes, providing reliable light exclusion in scientific enclosures. These properties support its use in R&D applications across photonics, vacuum systems, and precision instrumentation.
