Commodity: Alloys Material: Stainless Steel Form: Foil (Light Tight) Grade: Alloy 40 Composition: Fe 64/Cr 21/Mn 9/Ni 6 UNS Number: S21900 Temper: Annealed Thickness: 3.2mm Coating: Uncoated Opacity: Light Tight Surface Finish: Standard
Stainless Steel 40 Foil (Light Tight) delivers the same corrosion resistance, strength, and durability as standard stainless steel foils but is engineered to block all external light transmissions, eliminating even pinhole leaks. This property makes it indispensable in applications requiring complete optical isolation such as photonic experiments, high-precision sensors, and vacuum chambers. Industries including aerospace, optics, and electronics use light-tight stainless steel foils in shielding enclosures, optical filters, and calibration housings. Specific benefits are seen in laser isolation systems, photodetector housings, and cryogenic test chambers where even minimal light leakage can compromise results. Research fields such as quantum optics, microscopy, and semiconductor testing rely on this material to maintain integrity in light-sensitive experiments. The foil’s ability to combine mechanical resilience with flawless light blocking makes it a vital material in advanced industrial and scientific environments.
