Formula: Zn
Form: Foil (Light Tight)
Material: Zinc
CAS Number: 7440-66-6
Commodity: Metals
Light Tight: Light Tight
Zinc Foil (Light Tight) is specifically designed for laboratory applications requiring full light exclusion and material integrity, making it suitable for photoelectrochemical testing, photodegradation studies, and development of optoelectronic devices. Its uniform opacity ensures reproducibility in light-sensitive research experiments, while the high surface purity and ductility support precise coating processes such as electrodeposition and vacuum evaporation. Commonly used as a current collector and test substrate in zinc-based battery systems, it enables controlled studies of interface stability, hydrogen evolution, and surface passivation. The foil also serves in shielding sensitive optical instruments from ambient light interference in spectroscopy and detector calibration tasks.
